Full title and description

St ISO 22040-3-2025 — Life cycle management of concrete structures — Part 3: Execution stage. This international standard specifies management principles and the procedures to be implemented during the execution (construction and installation) stage as part of an overall life cycle management (LCM) framework for concrete structures.

Abstract

This document defines the organisation, roles, records and control processes required at the execution stage to ensure that design intent, performance requirements and life-cycle objectives for concrete structures are achieved during construction, testing, commissioning and handover. It covers execution-stage planning, inspection and testing, quality assurance, risk and change management, environmental considerations relevant to execution, and the transfer of information to later use and maintenance stages.

Scope

ISO 22040-3:2025 applies to the execution stage of concrete structures (new and where an existing structure's life cycle is being re-started). It establishes the principles and mandatory/recommended procedures for execution-stage management within the ISO 22040 LCM framework, including how information and responsibilities pass between planning, design and use stages. It is intended to be read and used together with the general ISO 22040 document and the other parts of the series that address planning, design and subsequent life-cycle stages.

Key topics and requirements

• Execution-stage management principles and responsibilities (organisation, roles and accountabilities).
• Execution-stage planning and coordination with design and planning outputs.
• Inspection, testing and quality assurance processes for concrete production and placement.
• Change management, non-conformance handling and corrective actions during construction.
• Documentation, records and as-built information required for life-cycle management and handover.
• Risk management and safety considerations specific to execution activities.
• Environmental and sustainability considerations during execution (waste, emissions, resource use).
• Procedures for commissioning, handover and transfer of responsibility to operation/maintenance phases.

Typical use and users

This part is primarily used by construction contractors, site managers, project engineers, specialist concrete suppliers, supervising engineers, asset owners, facility managers and authorities responsible for infrastructure delivery and safety. It is also used by organisations implementing life cycle management systems, certification bodies, and auditors performing conformity or compliance assessments for construction projects.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers execution-stage planning, organisation and responsibilities, inspection and testing, quality assurance, non-conformance and change control, environmental considerations during construction, commissioning and handover, and the records/information to be transferred to operation and maintenance.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Contractors, site and project engineers, supervising engineers, concrete suppliers, asset owners, facility managers, certifiers and auditors involved in the construction and handover of concrete structures.

Q: Is it current or superseded?
