Publication date:   Apr 16, 2026

Scope

(1) This document contains rules for qualification by cyclic testing of structural components designed according to EN 1998 (all parts).

(2) This document covers:
a) conditions for applying the document;
b) conditions for qualification of structural components;
c) testing provisions for qualification of structural components;
d) loading histories for qualification by cyclic testing of structural components;
e) test reporting provisions for structural components;
f) rules for verification of limit states;
g) rules for instrumentation for qualification by cyclic testing of structural components;
h) testing provisions for material specimens.
