BS EN 13295:2004

This standard BS EN 13295:2004 Products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures.Test methods. Determination of resistance to carbonation is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.080.40 Concrete structures

This European Standard specifies an accelerated laboratory method for measuring the resistance against carbon dioxide penetration through repair products and systems, as defined in EN 1504-3 1). The method is suitable for assessing the performance of repair grouts, mortars and concretes without a protective coating system applied. The method does not measure the resistance to reduction in pH-value that may occur by absorption of other acidic gases (e.g. SO2, HCl etc.).
