Shotcrete according to BS EN 14487 1

[BigH]

G'day All

According to ACI 506.2, shotcrete cores are required to be graded - Grade 1 = excellent; Grade 5 = lower than whale excrement at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

I do not have access to BS EN 14487 (shotcrete) but am hoping that someone can simply advise me if the BS EN standards also require grading of shotcrete cores. Standard Number and Clause number appreciated. I am NOT looking for a free copy - just a confirmation that the shotcrete cores are to be graded as excellent to poor.

Thanks for any help on this.
