Ready-Mixed Concrete Product Conformity Scheme
Singapore BCA & SAC accredited product conformity certification for batching plants and concrete durability.
Standard Scope & Purpose
SS EN 206 is the Singapore Standard for Ready-Mixed Concrete, specifying requirements for constituent materials, compressive strength classes, fresh concrete workability, and rigorous Factory Production Control (FPC). Accredited certification by GICG is mandatory for concrete batching plants supplying structural concrete in Singapore.
Strategic Commercial & Operational Benefits
High-Level Structure & Core Clauses
Classification & Performance Requirements
Compressive strength classes (C20/25 to C80/95), exposure classes, and workability.
Conformity Control & Criteria
Sampling frequencies, statistical evaluation of cube test records, and action in event of non-conformity.
Factory Production Control (FPC)
Raw materials inspection, equipment calibration, batching accuracy, and mixer uniformity.
Frequently Asked Questions (Technical Secretariat)
Q:Is SS EN 206 certification required by the Singapore Building & Construction Authority (BCA)?
Yes. Under the Singapore Building Control Regulations, all ready-mixed concrete batching plants producing structural concrete must be certified by a SAC-accredited product certification body such as GICG.
