The ASTM C1077-17 standard outlines the requirements and guidelines for testing and inspecting concrete and concrete aggregates used in construction projects.

According to the standard, selecting a testing agency is a critical step in ensuring the quality of construction projects. The testing agency must meet the qualifications and requirements specified in the standard to be deemed capable of performing and reporting accurate test results. The technical direction of the testing agency should be under a registered professional engineer.

The standard establishes essential characteristics related to the organization, personnel, facilities, and quality systems of the testing agency. It also provides criteria for the evaluation of the testing agency's capability to perform ASTM test methods on concrete and concrete aggregates. This evaluation can be conducted by an inspection authority, accreditation body, or other parties to determine if the agency is qualified to conduct the specified tests.

It is important to note that the standard may be supplemented by additional criteria and requirements for specific projects. The standard also includes notes and footnotes that provide explanatory material but are not considered mandatory requirements.
