Sets out procedures for sampling admixtures or packaged grouts and mortars containing admixtures, and testing mortar and grout mixes containing admixtures.

This Standard sets out procedures for sampling admixtures for packaged concrete, mortar and grouts and testing concrete, mortar and grout mixes containing admixtures.This Standard applies to those admixtures intended for use in concrete, mortar and grout and forthe evaluation of the performance of those admixtures for concrete, mortar and grout; andsampling and testing concrete, mortar and grout mixes containing those admixtures.This Standard does not apply to those admixtures specified in AS1478.1.
