BS EN 12350-2:2000
National foreword
This British Standard is the English language version of EN 12350-2:1999. It will
supersede BS 1881-102:1983 which will be withdrawn in 2003 when the full package
of concrete standards is available.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee
B/517, Concrete, to Subcommittee B/517/1, Concrete production and testing, which
has the responsibility to:

This standard is one of a series concerned with testing
fresh concrete.
It is based on the International Standard ISO 4109:
Fresh Concrete Ð Determination of the consistency Ð
Slump test.
A draft for this standard was published in 1996 for
CEN enquriy as prEN 12382. It was one of a series of
individually numbered test methods for fresh or
hardened concrete. For Convenience it has now been
decided to combine these separate draft standards into
three new standards with separate parts for each
methods, as follows:
Ð Testing fresh concrete (EN 12350:1999);
Ð Testing hardened concrete (prEN 12390:1999);
Ð Testing concrete in structures (prEN 12504:1999).
This series EN 12350 includes the following parts
where the brackets give the numbers under which
particular test methods were published for CEN
enquiry:
EN 12350 Testing fresh concrete
Part 1: Sampling (former prEN 12378:1996).
Part 2: Slump test (former prEN 12382:1996).
Part 3: Vebe test (former prEN 12350:1996).
Part 4: Degree of compactability
(former prEN 12357:1996).
Part 5: Flow table test (former prEN 12358:1996).
Part 6: Density (former prEN 12383:1996).
Part 7: Air content Ð Pressure methods
(former prEN 12395:1996).
CAUTION. When cement is mixed with water, alkali is
released. Take precautions to avoid dry cement
entering the eyes, mouth and nose whilst mixing
concrete. Prevent skin contact with wet cement or
concrete by wearing suitable protective clothing. If
cement or concrete enters the eye, immediately wash it
out thoroughly with clean water and seek medical
treatment without delay. Wash wet concrete off the
skin immediately.
