BS EN 13892-2: Flexural and Compressive Strength Testing for Screed Materials
What is BS EN 13892-2?
BS EN 13892-2 is the second part of the BS EN 13892 multi-series that defines test methods for screed materials. This standard specifies the procedures for determining the flexural and compressive strength of moulded specimens made from various screed materials, including:
- Cementitious screed
- Calcium sulphate screed
- Magnesite screed
- Synthetic resin screed
Who is BS EN 13892-2 For?
BS EN 13892-2 is essential for professionals involved in the construction and quality assurance of flooring materials, including:
- Cement manufacturers
- Civil engineers
- Architects
- Quality control personnel
- Testing and inspection personnel
Why is BS EN 13892-2 Important?
Screed materials experience significant stress and must be tested to ensure they can withstand loads without failing. BS EN 13892-2 provides a standardized approach to evaluating their mechanical properties, offering:
- Structural Reliability: Ensures screed materials meet required performance standards for durability and strength.
- Guidance for Material Selection: Helps manufacturers, contractors, and engineers compare different materials effectively.
- Quality Assurance: Documents critical properties to identify the structural strengths and limitations of screed materials.
