This standard describes the reference method used for type testing and in cases of dispute, for determining the effect of aggregates on the drying shrinkage of concrete. For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used provided an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established.
This standard is based on the testing of concretes of fixed mix proportions and aggregates of 20 mm maximum size.
