AS 3582.2:2001 is a standard that provides guidelines for the use of ground granulated iron blast-furnace slag as a supplementary cementitious material in concrete and mortar. The standard specifies the requirements for the slag, including its composition, physical properties, and chemical properties. It also outlines the testing methods to be used for evaluating the slag's compliance with these requirements.

The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the ground granulated iron blast-furnace slag used in construction meets the necessary quality standards. The slag is produced as a byproduct during the iron smelting process and has unique properties that make it suitable for use as a cement additive. It enhances the strength, workability, and durability of concrete and mortar.
