Concrete is a heterogeneous material, and its measured strength is highly sensitive to how it is handled in its plastic state and how it is treated during the early stages of hardening. BS EN 12390-2:2019 provides a rigorous framework to minimize variables during the sampling and preparation process. By standardizing the size of the molds, the compaction methods, and the temperature and humidity of the curing environment, the industry can compare results across different projects and regions with confidence.
