Mixing water for concrete - Specification for sampling, testing and assessing the suitability of water, including water recovered from processes in the concrete industry, as mixing water for concrete
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1008 standard focuses on the specification and assessment of mixing water for concrete. It outlines the requirements for water used in the concrete mixing process, including water recovered from processes within the concrete industry. The standard ensures that the water used meets the necessary criteria to produce concrete that conforms to the EN 206-1 standard.
The standard covers various aspects of water quality and suitability. It provides guidelines for sampling methods to ensure representative water samples are obtained for testing purposes. It also describes the testing procedures and parameters that need to be assessed to determine the water's suitability for use in concrete mixing.
Furthermore, DIN EN 1008 emphasizes the importance of assessing the impact of any admixtures or other substances present in the water on the properties of the resulting concrete. This includes evaluating potential adverse effects on concrete setting time, strength development, and durability.
