Assumptions

(1) It is assumed that reasonable skill and care appropriate to the circumstances is exercised in the assessment of existing structures, based on the knowledge and good practice generally available at the time the structure has been assessed.

(2) It is assumed that the assessment of the structure is made by appropriately qualified and experienced personnel.

(3) The assessment rules provided in the Eurocodes assume that:

• - adequate control and supervision are provided during assessment;
• - execution of interventions, including rehabilitation, is carried out by personnel having appropriate skill and experience;
• - construction material and products parameters are assessed according to appropriate methods relevant to assessment in the other Eurocodes or in EN 1990-1:2023+A1:2026, Annex D.
