BS EN 12390-2:2019

is the British and European standard that dictates the procedures for making and curing concrete specimens for strength testing. It is a critical document for ensuring that concrete samples (typically cubes or cylinders) are prepared consistently so that strength results are accurate and comparable. What This Standard Covers

compliance testing

BS EN 12390-2:2019 has profound practical implications. For a concrete supplier, compliance means that test cubes taken from a truck load, if cured by the standard, will provide a true measure of that concrete’s potential strength. Disputes often arise when a contractor’s onsite-cured specimens (representing the structure) differ from the supplier’s standard-cured specimens (representing the mix design). The standard explicitly clarifies that standard-cured specimens are for (verifying the mix), while optionally, parallel specimens may be cured under site conditions for acceptance testing.
