Product Description
This standard specifies the conditions under which ready-mixed concrete shall be made and delivered, and the methods by which the purchaser can specify with his enquiry or order, the properties, of the concrete required. It provides a specification for the production and supply of ready-mixed concrete.
The standard addressed methods of specifying ready-mixed concrete for nominal mixes and specified strength mixes for special purposes, to meet the requirements of Jamaican National Building Codes. The standard also gives guidance on the data to be provided by the purchaser when ordering ready-mixed concrete, the inspection facilities to be provided by the supplier and on the appropriate tests. The routine tests which must be carried out by the supplier and those which are the responsibility of the purchaser are also included.
This standard does not cover the placing, compaction, curing or protection of the concrete after delivery, nor is it to apply to the materials for lean concrete or similar road base materials.
