1 Scope This standard specifies terms, definitions and symbols, product classification, code and mark, general requirements, requirements, test methods, inspection rules, marking, packaging, transportation and storage of anchorage, grip and coupler for prestressing tendons. This standard is applicable to anchorage, grip and coupler in bonded, unbonded or retard-bonded prestressing structure of internally and externally prestressing tendons and those used during special construction, anchorage and coupler for cable. 2 Normative References The following documents are indispensable for its application.
