This European Standard specifies the composition and characteristics of reference concretes used to evaluate
the performance of fibres in concrete.
The purpose of the reference concrete is to determine the general suitability of a fibre for use in concrete.
NOTE The end user needs to satisfy themselves about the effectiveness of the fibre in their own concrete.
