ISO 19596:2017 PDF Download

ISO 19596:2017 is a standard that outlines the definitions and requirements for admixtures used in concrete, following the guidelines of ISO 22965. The standard does not provide specific guidelines for the practical application of admixtures in concrete production, such as the composition, mixing, placing, and curing of concrete containing admixtures. Instead, it focuses on establishing the criteria and specifications for these chemical additives in order to ensure their quality and effectiveness in concrete.

The purpose of ISO 19596 is to provide a consistent framework for the classification and evaluation of admixtures used in concrete. This allows manufacturers, suppliers, and users to better understand the quality and performance of these additives and make informed decisions regarding their use. By providing standardized definitions and requirements, the standard helps to maintain the consistency and reliability of admixtures in the construction industry.
