A comma is used as the decimal marker.

National foreword
This standard has been prepared by CEN/TC 104 Concrete (performance, production, placing and compliance criteria) (Secretariat: Germany), SC 1 Concrete (performance, production, placing and compliance
criteria).
The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuss Bauwesen (Building
and Civil Engineering Standards Committee), Technical Committee 07.05.00 Prfverfahren fr Beton.
It should be noted that the conditions of curing the concrete specimens customary in Germany differ from
those specified in subclause 5.5.3 (see National Annex).

National Annex NA (informative)


Curing of concrete specimens when testing compressive strength and modulus of
elasticity
NA.1 General
This national annex describes the conditions customary in Germany for the curing of concrete specimens
intended to be used for compression tests and when testing the modulus of elasticity.
It is essential that the test parameters given in subclause NA.2 are adhered to, use of the parameters given
in footnotes 1) and 2) being recommended.

NA.2

Curing conditions

After preparation, the specimens shall be conditioned in moulds in a closed room at a draught-free location,
protected from loss of moisture (e.g. by covering with polyethylene sheeting), for (24 t 2) hours at a
temperature of 15 C to 22 C 1). During hardening, the environment shall be vibration-free.
After (24 t 2) hours, the specimens shall be demoulded, placed on gratings and cured for six days in water
at a temperature of (20 t 2) C or, alternatively, in a cabinet at a temperature of (20 t 2) C and a relative
humidity exceeding 95 %.
Seven days after preparation, the specimens shall be removed from the water cabinet, placed on gratings
and stored in a closed room at a draught-free location at a temperature of 15 C to 22 C 2).

EN comprises 7 pages.

) A temperature of (20 t 2) C is recommended.


) A temperature of (20 t 2) C at a relative humidity of (65 t 5) % is recommended.
