Foreword
This document (prEN 12350-8:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 104 “Concrete and
related products”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This standard is based on the results from the EU-project “Testing-SCC” under the 5th Frame Programme
(GRD2-2000-30024/G6RD-CT-2001-00580).
Owing to its significant advantages in the improvement of construction quality and working environment, self-
compacting concrete (SCC) has been more widely accepted by the construction owners. The use of SCC in
practical concrete construction is stably increasing. Since SCC has to give satisfactory in-situ properties
(perfect filling of the mould and embedment of the reinforcement, homogeneity and full compaction) without
vibration, the proper methods for testing the workability of fresh SCC are very important. The workability of
fresh SCC should basically include three key properties: filling ability, passing ability and resistance to
segregation. It is desirable, especially in the case of new constituents or new concrete compositions, to test
the workability of fresh SCC before casting in place.
A number of test methods are available for testing fresh SCC. Most of the commonly used test methods were
evaluated in the recently closed EU-project “Testing-SCC” under the 5th Frame Programme (GRD2-2000-
30024/G6RD-CT-2001-00580). According to the results from this EU project, it seems no single test method
can completely cover all the three key properties. Nevertheless any test method should at least be correlated
to the practical situation and give consistent results in order to provide reliable data for judgment of concrete
workability.
This standard is one of a series concerned with testing fresh concrete.
This series EN 12350 includes the following parts:
EN 12350 Testing fresh concrete
Part 1: Sampling;
Part 2: Slump test;
Part 3: Vebe test;
Part 4: Degree of compactability;
