ISO 13822:2010 is the second edition of the standard and is a practical guide to ensure that existing structures are safe and serviceable. The standard is based on ISO 2934 and it will be useful when:

• Anticipating change in use, or extension of design working life, of a structure
• Conducting reliability checks (e.g. for earthquakes, increased traffic actions) as required by authorities, insurance companies, owners, etc.
• Assessing structural deterioration due to time-dependent actions (e.g. corrosion, fatigue)
• Checking structural damage from accidental actions (e.g. fires)
