Test method
EN 13687-1 - Products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures - thermal compatibility - freeze-thaw cycling with de-icing salt immersion
In short
EN 13687-1 - Products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures - thermal compatibility - freeze-thaw cycling with de-icing salt immersion. Amstelfy's laboratory determines thermal compatibility after freeze-thaw with de-icing salts of repair products according to EN 13687-1 under its ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation (NAC-037-TL). The method is typically part of initial type testing, ETA test programmes or factory production control verification; results are reported in English for manufacturers across Europe.
What we assess
- thermal compatibility after freeze-thaw with de-icing salts
Products covered
- repair products
