EN 12504-1 — Testing Concrete in Structures (Cored Specimens)
EN 12504-1 is the European Standard for taking, examining, and compressive-strength testing of drilled concrete cores. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What EN 12504-1 Covers
It defines a standardized approach for extracting cores from an existing structure or precast element and determining their compressive strength.
How the Test Is Run
A drilled core is examined, trimmed, and loaded in compression, and the compressive strength is calculated from the failure load and dimensions.
Why It Matters
Core compressive strength verifies in-place concrete; high-force compression capacity and correct end preparation are essential.
