Formwork for concrete, Part 1: Specifications

This Standard sets out- (a) the requirements for the documentation of architectural, structural and construction information necessary for formwork design and construction; (b) architectural requirements and procedures covering the specification of the quality, tolerance, colour, and evaluation of off-form or as-repaired in situ or precast concrete surfaces; and (c) structural requirements that- (i) are critical to the stability, strength and serviceability of the permanent structure during construction and once completed; and (ii) affect the formwork design and construction.
