The test shall be carried outto determine the effect of freeze/thaw cycles on performance characteristics (EN 1926 —compressive strength). The specimens shall be in accordance with the appropriate standard.For some specific uses it may be appropriate to use different test cycles, for example freezing inwater, freezing to a lower temperature, or testing specimens embedded in non-porous siliceousgranules or a different number of cycles.
In these cases national specification standards may befollowed but these variations shall be clearly stated in the test report.If there is no requirement for freeze/thaw resistance or no performance has been determined, thenthis shall be stated.Table 4 — Freeze/thaw resistanceClassClass 0Class 1Marking designationF0F1RequirementNo requirements for freeze/thawresistanceResistant( 20% change in compressivestrength)4.3 Compressive strengthThe producer shall declare a compressive strength (MPa) as the minimum value expected forindividual test specimens when tested in accordance with EN 1926.

EN 1342:2001 (E)95 Evaluation of conformity5.1 GeneralThe producer or supplier shall demonstrate compliance of his product, either new or existing, withrequirements of this standard and with the declared values for the product properties by carrying outinitial testing and factory production control. Where tests have previously been done in conformity withthe requirements of this standard (same product, same characteristic, test method and samplingmethod), the results may be taken into account for initial type testing.The value declared by the producer or supplier shall be representative of the current production, forexample the lowest expected value or the minimum test value in normal production.5.2 Initial type testsWhen a product shall first demonstrate conformity with this standard, for example when a new productis developed, and before offering it for sale, appropriate tests shall be carried out to confirm that theproperties of the product meet the requirements of this standard and the values to be declared for itby the producer. Whenever a significant change occurs in the raw material or the production processwhich could change the properties of the finished product, this shall be considered as constituting anew product type.The type tests shall be the reference tests called up in this standard for the properties selected fromthe following list consistent with the product type’s intended use: dimensions; flatness of surface; freeze/thaw resistance; compressive strength; abrasion resistance; slip resistance; aspects (for example visual appearance); water absorption; petrographic description; chemical surface treatment.The results of the initial tests shall be recorded.5.3 Factory production controlA factory production control system shall be established and documented prior to commencingproduction.
