Standard EN Sample
Admixtures for Concrete, Mortar and Grout - Test Methods - Reference Concrete and Reference Mortar for Testing
Also Known As:
BS EN 480-1:2014 provides guidance on the production of reference concrete and reference mortar for testing the effectiveness and compatibility of admixtures. This standard specifies the constituent materials, composition, and mixing method required to produce these reference materials.
The reference concrete and reference mortar produced according to BS EN 480-1:2014 are intended to be used in conjunction with the EN 934 series of standards. These reference materials serve as a benchmark for testing the various properties and performance characteristics of admixtures used in concrete, mortar, and grout.
By establishing specific criteria for the constituent materials, composition, and mixing process, this standard ensures consistency in the production of reference concrete and reference mortar across different test laboratories. This enables reliable and accurate comparisons of different admixtures and their effects on concrete and mortar properties.
