TSE K 118

TSE K 118: TS K 118 is a quality management system standard for organisations involved with precast reinforced concrete structural elements. Its focus is the organisation’s ability to demonstrate, at the system level, that it can consistently meet customer requirements and applicable regulatory requirements across design, production and installation activities.

Quality management in precast reinforced concrete work

In precast reinforced concrete construction, quality management concerns more than the concrete mix itself. It also covers the handling of design inputs, production control, dimensional accuracy, reinforcement placement, curing, traceability, transport and site installation. From a general technical perspective, a quality management system provides the framework for planning, documenting and repeating these processes in a controlled way so that the finished element performs as intended in the structure.

Technical context and related standards

The standard sits within the wider environment of concrete-product and reinforced-concrete references, alongside general quality management standards such as TS EN ISO 9000 and TS EN ISO 9001 and product/design documents related to precast concrete and structural design. That means it is best understood not as a product dimension standard, but as a management-system requirement for organisations that design, manufacture and assemble precast reinforced concrete elements.

This listing refers to a withdrawn edition, but the subject remains technically relevant because precast concrete depends on disciplined coordination between design, factory production and installation on site.
