Alterations of the future DIN 1045 series for precast concrete products

In August 2023, the new generation of the DIN 1045 series of standards was published. It comprises seven parts in total, encompassing structural concrete construction from planning to concrete and the execution on the construction site through to the production of precast concrete products.

Of the seven new parts of the standard, cf. Figure 1, six have been quoted in the -current Model Administrative Provisions – Technical Building Rules 2024/1 (MMV TB) and successively be implemented in the Federal States in building law. Apart from numerous technical amendments and adaptations as against the last standard generation, being more than 15 years old, in particular, DIN 1045-1000 [7] „Basic Principles and Quality Classes of Concrete Construction (BBQ) and DIN 1045-41 [6] „Requirements for the use of precast concrete elements in structures“ are new.
