ISO 9597:2008 PDF Download

ISO 9597:2008 is a standard that specifies the methods for determining the standard consistence, setting times, and soundness of cements. It is applicable to common cements and other cements and materials that reference this method in their respective standards. However, it may not be suitable for cement types with very short initial setting times.

The purpose of ISO 9597:2008 is to assess whether the setting time and soundness of a cement comply with its specified requirements. The standard outlines reference methods for conducting these tests and allows for the use of alternative procedures and equipment, provided they are calibrated against the reference methods. However, in case of any dispute, only the reference equipment and procedures described in ISO 9597:2008 can be used.
