This document describes the method for the determination of the compressive and, optionally, the
flexural strength of cement mortar. The method applies to common cements and to other cements
and materials, the standards for which call up this method. It may not apply to other cement types that
have, for example, a very short initial setting time.
The method is used for assessing whether the compressive strength of cement is in conformity with
its specification and for validation testing of a CEN Standard sand, EN 196-1, or alternative
compaction equipment.
This document describes the reference equipment and procedure and allows alternative compaction
equipment and procedures to be used provided that they have been validated in accordance with the
appropriate provisions in this document. In the event of a dispute, only the reference equipment and
procedure are used.
