EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 12504-1 test. This standard specifies a method for removing cores from hardened concrete, examining them, preparing them for testing and determining compressive strength. This standard does not provide guidance on the core drilling decision or drilling locations.
This standard does not provide procedures for interpreting core strength results. EN 13791 can be used for the evaluation of in situ compressive strength in structures and precast concrete components.
Cores extracted using a core drill are carefully inspected, prepared by grinding or sealing, and are tested in compression using standard procedures.
EN 12504-1 is a European standard that specifies the procedures for taking, examining and testing concrete cores in structures to determine their compressive strength.
The standard outlines the following steps for obtaining, examining, and testing kernels:
EN 12504-1 specifies the minimum number of cores required for testing based on the size of the project and the level of quality control required.
In general, this standard provides for the consistent and controlled receipt, inspection and testing of concrete cores, allowing their compressive strength to be accurately determined and ensuring the quality of concrete used in construction projects.
