AS 1012.1:2014 provides guidance on how to obtain samples of freshly-mixed concrete. The standard outlines four main methods for sampling concrete.

Firstly, samples can be obtained directly from mixers, which are typically used to mix concrete ingredients. Secondly, samples can be taken from agitator or non-agitator units, which are used to transport the concrete to the construction site.

Thirdly, the standard specifies the sampling procedure for concrete that has been deposited and is ready for casting. This may include concrete that has been poured on the ground or placed in bins or hoppers.

Lastly, the standard addresses sampling from concrete that has already been placed in forms. This method is used when the concrete is already in its final position and is being prepared for curing and hardening.
