BS EN 13395-3:2002

This standard BS EN 13395-3:2002 Products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures. Test methods. Determination of workability is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.080.40 Concrete structures
• 91.100.30 Concrete and concrete products

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the workability of high flow hydraulic cement, PCC and PC based concrete products for the protection and repair of concrete, as defined in EN 1504-3, whose workability is outside the normal range for concrete as defined in ENV 206.

Tests for the workability of repair products and systems based on thixotropic mortar and high flow grout or mortar are contained in [prEN 13395-1 and prEN 13395–2] respectively.

Normal workability concrete mixes, which can include proprietary formulations, are applied and compacted in accordance with conventional practice. The workability of these products should be assessed using the slump, VeBe or other appropriate method given in EN 206-1. The workability of conventional high flow concrete mixes should be assessed by the method of EN 12350-5.
