BS EN 12190:1999

This standard BS EN 12190:1999 Products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures. Test methods. Determination of compressive strength of repair mortar is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.100.30 Concrete and concrete products

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the compressive strength of mortars and concretes for structural and non-structural repair, as defined in EN 1504-1.

The method applies to all types of repair mortar and concrete with a maximum aggregate size of 8 mm. It distinguishes between mortar with hydraulic and polymer binders. Hereafter, the term mortar refers to both mortars and concretes.

NOTE For repair mortars and concretes with aggregate in excess of 8 mm in size, conventional concrete test methods according to prEN 206 are used.
