Testing of concrete - Method list

The method list shows selected tests for fresh, hardening and hardened concrete. We can also carry out testing according to standards which are not specified in the list. In particular, the standards which are attached to DS/EN 206-1 Concrete – Part 1: Specification, properties, production and agreement and DS 2426 Concrete – Materials – Rules for the application of EN 206-1 in Denmark.  

Contact us for further information.
