Overview
ISO 18319-1:2026, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), defines the specifications for fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets used in the upgrading and reinforcement of concrete structures. This standard details requirements crucial for material suppliers, focusing on unidirectional FRP sheets and their mechanical properties, appearance, dimensions, and testing methods. By establishing a clear methodology for specifying and verifying FRP characteristics, ISO 18319-1:2026 enables suppliers and end users to ensure product quality, safety, and suitability for structural reinforcement and repair.
Key Topics
Mechanical Properties:
The standard specifies how to express and determine mechanical properties such as:- Guaranteed tensile strength value (with high statistical reliability)
- Characteristic value of Young’s modulus
- Characteristic value of ultimate strain
Appearance and Dimensions:
Requirements include:- Absence of folds, waves, and fibre breakage in FRP sheets
- Agreement on length and width specifications between parties
- Determination and calculation method for nominal thickness
Sampling and Testing:
- Detailed procedures for sample selection (minimum sample sizes for initial and periodic testing)
- Appearance inspections under standardized lighting conditions
- Precise measurement of sheet dimensions
- Tensile testing in accordance with recognized international methods
Fibre Orientation:
Only sheets with unidirectional fibre orientation are covered, providing consistent mechanical performance and predictable behavior in structural applications.Documentation and Reporting:
Guidelines are provided for reporting test results, including mean values, deviations, and any observed changes in appearance.
Applications
ISO 18319-1:2026 is essential for suppliers, designers, and contractors in the construction industry that use FRP sheets for concrete strengthening and rehabilitation. Key practical applications include:
Structural Upgrading:
Enhancing the load-bearing capacity of concrete beams, slabs, and columns by external bonding of FRP sheets.Seismic Retrofits:
Increasing resilience of existing structures against earthquakes by applying FRP-based reinforcement.Repair and Maintenance:
Using FRP sheets to repair cracks, restore structural integrity, and prolong the service life of infrastructure such as bridges, parking garages, and buildings.Quality Control and Procurement:
Material suppliers and procurement teams rely on the standard to specify product quality, ensuring all critical parameters are declared and verified before use.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
