Standard Practice for Evaluation of Laboratories Testing Hydraulic Cement

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 C 91, C 150, C 595, C 845, and Performance Specification C 1157.
1.3 The SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
