This standard applies for sprayed concrete to be used for repair and reinforcement of existing structures, for new structures and for the stabilization of excavation pits, cavities and slopes. It also applies for sprayed concrete for the cladding of underground structures of structural engineering. This standard applies for normal weight or lightweight concrete members with closed structure according to - DIN EN 206-1 with DIN 1045-2, - DIN EN 1992-1-1:2011-01 with DIN EN 1992-1-1 (NA), DIN EN 13670 with DIN 1045-3.
