ABSTRACT
It should be understood that EN(V) 197-1 does not deal directly with acceptance inspection at delivery. Acceptance inspection, i.e. the testing of ‘spot’ samples by the customer or his agent, is a traditional part of U.K. practice and is. included in the current BS cement specifications. However, in the March 1994 (PNE version) of EN(V) 197-1, a ‘note’ is included which states…“It is recommended that any acceptance inspection at delivery of CEM-cement should be at least in accordance with the [limit value] conformity criteria specified in clause 9.2.3. These latter limits are in addition to the statistical (autcontrol) conformity criteria and impose a requirement that…”each test result remains within the limits specified in clause 9.3, table 8”. Accordingly, these limits can be treated as being applicable, also, to acceptance inspection.
