Admixtures for concrete, mortar and grout - Test methods - Part 1: Reference concrete and reference mortar for testing
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 480-1 standard provides guidelines for creating reference concrete and reference mortar used for testing the effectiveness and compatibility of admixtures.
The standard specifies the constituent materials, composition, and mixing method required to produce the reference concrete and reference mortar. It aims to ensure consistency and reliability in testing by establishing a standardized set of materials and procedures.
By using the reference concrete and reference mortar created in accordance with this standard, the efficacy and compatibility of admixtures can be accurately assessed. This allows for informed decisions to be made regarding the selection and application of admixtures in concrete, mortar, and grout. The standard is aligned with the EN 934 series, which further governs the use of admixtures in construction materials.
