Europeanforeword This document (EN 12390-1:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 104 *Concrete and related products", the secretariat of which is held by SN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard,either by publication of an identical text orby endorsement,at the latest by January 2022,and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2022. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 12390-1:2012. The following amendments have been made to the former edition: -- editorial revision; -- increases in the allowable tolerances for flatness of moulds and the dimensions of the specimens which reflect current industry practice. This document is one of a series on testing concrete. EN 12390, Testing hardened concrete, consists of the following parts: -Part 1: Shope, dimensions and other requirements for specimens and moulds; -Part 2: Making and curing specimens for strength tests; Part 3: Compressive strength of test specimens; --Part 4: Compressive strength Specification for testing machines; -Part 5: Flexural strength of test specimens; --Part6:Tensile splitting strengthof test specimens --Part 7: Density of hardened concrete; -Part 8: Depth of penetration of water under pressure; -Part 10: Determination of the carbongtion resistance of concrete at atmospheric levelsof carbon dioxide; -Part 1: Determination of the chloride resistance of concrete, unidirectional difusion; Part 12:Determination of the potentialcarbonation resistance of concrete:Accelerated carbonation method; --Part 13: Determination of secant modulus of elasticity in pression; Part 14: Semi-adiabatic method for the determination of heat released by concrete during its hardening process; -Part 15: Adiabatic method forthe determination ofheat released by concreteduring its hardening process; -Part 16: Determination of shrinkage of concrete; --Part 17: Determination of creep of concrete in pression; -Part 18: Determination of the chloride migration coefficient (in preparation). This document recognizes alternative approaches towards obtaining test specimens ofthe correct sizes and shapes. The first is to use moulds whose lives are lim...
