Schemes of Interlaboratory tests on Mortars for masonry

linie

 

SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES (TABLE OF CONTENT)

Beginning with October 2010, the Testing Laboratory of CEPROCIM may develop a new scheme of Interlaboratory Tests at national level, on Masonry mortars, in the conditions of reunion of a minimum statistic of participants; interlaboratory tests will have a yearly frequency.
