Fibers for concrete is a new composite materials that is one of the fastest growing products and the most extensive application. The specification of concrete will be changed after mixing into a little fibers, this is can increase the toughness, compression. Fibers for concrete thus is used widely in the project of tunnels, roads, bridges, civil engineering, water conservancy, mining, metallurgy, ports, airports and other concrete construction.

Steel fiber is high-risk products in construction, its quality make direct impact on the building’s security. Therefore, clients are interested in those products that pass CE certificate. Factory inspection should be conducted, thus, the whole production technics are controlled by the European standard.

Fibers for concrete are including: steel fiber and polymer fiber.

Polymer fibers including polypropylene fiber, polyester fiber
 
2. Standard mandatory date—EN 14889-2 (CE Certification for Polymer fibers)
Form 1st, January 2007，all the steel fiber products which will be sold in EU market must be applied CE marking according to EN 14889-1:2006.

3. Systems of attestation of conformity (AoC) —EN 14889-2
CE Certification for steel fibers according to EU Construction Products Directive CPD: 89/106/EEC, using system 1 or system 3. Specific testing and certification system for waterproofing material, please contact the company Nanjing Smart. CE Certification for steel fibers by the European commission must have the ability to specify the relevant notified body qualification.

From 1 July 2013, Construction products Regulation (EU) No 305/2011-(CPR:305/2011/EU) of the European parliament and of the council of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonized conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Construction products Directive 89/106/EEC-(CPD:89/106/EEC).
