This article provides an overview of the revisions implemented in the JSCE Standard Specifications for Concrete Structures ─Maintenance─ published by the Japan Society of Civil Engineers in 2022. This revision augments the matter related to performance evaluation and adds a new chapter dedicated to actions on the structures. The objective of regular inspections has been slightly modified. A new classification has been applied to countermeasures. Further, the latest technology has been reflected. This includes the addition of a new chapter on complex deterioration. The revision work was carried out keeping in mind that the majority of readers are the engineers involved in maintenance, and thus emphasis was placed on making the content of the Standard Specifications easier to use by slimming down the［ Standard Methods］part, etc.
