The Foundation of Reliable Concrete Testing: An Analysis of BS EN 12390-2:2019

Scope and Purpose

Where to obtain the standard

  • Cover the specimen immediately with a non-absorbent, airtight cover (e.g., plastic sheet or damp hessian if covered by plastic) to prevent moisture loss.
  • Store the moulded specimen in an environment at 20°C ± 5°C for the first 24 hours (for standard curing). Avoid drafts, direct sunlight, or vibration.

: Concrete is placed into moulds in layers and compacted using methods such as a vibrating table
