ASTM C1222

ASTM C1222 – Standard Practice for Evaluation of Laboratories Testing Hydraulic Cement

Description:

Significance and Use

4.1 The testing of hydraulic cement is an important element in obtaining quality construction. A testing laboratory must be selected with care.

4.2 A testing laboratory shall be deemed qualified to perform and report the results of its tests if the laboratory meets the requirements of this practice.

4.3 This practice provides guidance for evaluating the organization, personnel, facilities, and quality systems of the laboratory. This practice may be supplemented by criteria and requirements for particular projects.

Scope

1.1 This practice covers the technical training and experience of laboratory testing personnel and identifies the minimum technical requirements for laboratory equipment used in testing of hydraulic cement as prescribed by ASTM.

1.2 This practice provides minimum criteria for evaluating the capability of a laboratory to perform chemical or physical tests listed in the various specifications on hydraulic cement (see Note 1).

NOTE 1: Relevant hydraulic cement specifications are Specifications C91/C91M, C150/C150M, C595/C595M, C845/C845M, and C1157/C1157M.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
