ISO 15673:2005适用于居住、层数和面积受限的新建低层建筑中钢筋混凝土结构的规划、设计和施工。ISO 15673:2005的目的是为注册土木工程师或建筑师提供足够的信息，以设计符合这些限制的低层建筑的钢筋混凝土结构框架。ISO 15673:2005中规定的设计规则是对更详细要求的简化。 在没有国家设计规范的国家，ISO 15673:2005可作为制定国家混凝土建筑规范或同等文件的替代品，或在国家标准机构或其他适当监管机构特别考虑和接受国家混凝土建筑规范的国家，ISO 15673:2005可作为制定国家混凝土建筑规范或同等文件的替代品。

ISO 15673:2005 applies to the planning, design and construction of structural reinforced concrete structures to be used in new low-rise buildings with restricted occupancy, number of stories, and area. The purpose of ISO 15673:2005 is to provide a registered civil engineer or architect with sufficient information to design the reinforced-concrete structural framing of a low-rise building that complies with these limitations. The rules of design as set forth in ISO 15673:2005 are simplifications of the more elaborate requirements. ISO 15673:2005 may be used as an alternative to the development of a national concrete building code, or equivalent document, in countries where no national design codes themselves are available, or as an alternative to the national concrete building code in countries where it is specifically considered and accepted by the national standard body or other appropriate regulatory organization.
