The specification covers mixtures with and without polymers. The selection of the applicable grade should be made by the manufacturer, taking into account the engineering design of the product. This choice must then be confirmed by the buyer.

A GRC plate produced during production to evaluate the quality of the GRC products made. The test board can be an example of the product itself. The test board must be made in the same manner and at the same time as the GRC product to represent GRC quality.

The arithmetic mean value of a property calculated from all individual test coupon results from a test board. For statistical analysis, this is considered an average result.

Ratio of total water mass to dry cement mass in the uncured GRC. When pozzolanic fillers are used, they can be considered cemented and the water/cement ratio can be expressed as the water/total binder ratio; examples of such pozzolanic fillers are fly ash, silica fume and metakaolin.

Fine aggregate or sand should be washed and dried to remove soluble matter and ensure accurate control of the water/cement ratio. The particle shape should be round or irregular and have a smooth surface without honeycombing.
