APPLICABLE STANDARDS
Compliance, verification, and global readiness.
All Fcrete GRC systems are engineered, tested, and manufactured in accordance with internationally recognized standards that define best practices for structural design, material testing, and quality control. These form a comprehensive framework that supports the reliability, performance, and certifiability of our products in diverse project environments.
Applicable design and manufacturing standards include:
GRCA – Practical Design Guide for Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete
Design methodology for structural behavior, including flexural strength, serviceability limits, and anchoring principles.
GRCA – Methods of Testing Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete
Standardized testing for:
– Flexural properties
– Dimensional stability
– Impact resistance
– Durability under environmental exposure
BS EN 1170-6:1998 – Precast concrete products – Test method for glass-fibre reinforced cement – Determination of the bending strength of GRC
European standard defining procedures for determining limit of proportionality (LOP) and modulus of rupture (MOR) for GRC, applied in type testing and production control.
PCI MNL 128-01 – Recommended Practice for Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete Panels
Engineering guidelines for GRC façade panels, covering structural detailing, performance criteria, and connection integration.
PCI MNL 130-09 – Manual for Quality Control for Plants and Production of GFRC Products
Covers quality control throughout the production cycle, including:
– Raw material inspection
– Water/cement ratio and fiber content control
– Casting, curing, and visual inspection
– Production traceability and documentation
Test specimens are produced under controlled factory conditions. Where required by project specifications, third-party laboratories perform independent verification. Mock-up testing can also be conducted to evaluate performance under structural loading, fixing stress, or climatic exposure.
With this standard-based approach, Fcrete GRC systems are not only structurally sound and visually consistent, but also fully compliant, certifiable, and aligned with international expectations.
