EN 12390-10 Determination of Chloride Content in Hardened Concrete: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The EN 12390-10 standard is a European Standard that provides a method for determining the chloride content in hardened concrete. This testing service is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 11901:2003 - Determination of the chloride ion content
  • ASTM C1582:2010 - Test Method for Determining the Total Chromium and Hexavalent Chromium in Concrete Aggregates
  • EN 12390-10:2009 - Determination of the chloride ion content
  • These standards specify the requirements for laboratory testing, including sample preparation, testing equipment, and measurement methods. The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is governed by various national and international regulations, such as:

  • EU Regulation (EC) No 305/2008 on the minimum requirements for conformity assessment and marking of construction products
  • EN 45011:1998 - General criteria for the evaluation of testing laboratories
  • Eurolabs laboratory testing service conforms to these standards and regulations, ensuring that all samples are tested using accredited and certified methods.
