JIS A 1115:2020 PDF Download

The JIS A 1115:2020 standard provides guidelines on how to sample fresh concrete from various sources, such as mixers, hoppers, concrete transport equipment, or directly from placed concrete. The purpose of this standard is to ensure that representative samples of fresh concrete are obtained for testing and analysis.

The standard references the corresponding International Standard ISO 1920-1:2004, which also focuses on the sampling of fresh concrete. This indicates that the JIS standard aligns with international practices in this field.

By following the procedures outlined in this standard, professionals in the construction industry can accurately sample fresh concrete, which is crucial for assessing its quality, strength, and other properties. Adhering to standardized sampling methods helps to ensure consistency and reliability in the testing process, thus facilitating proper evaluation of the concrete's suitability for specific applications or adherence to regulatory requirements.
