Accelerated Abrasion Resistance BCA Testing
Concrete slab abrasion resistance tests can be conducted using the Abrasion Resistance Testing Machine to carry out tests in accordance with EN 13892-4.
It checks for compliance with the limits in BS 8204 Part 2, in order to determine the BS ‘Classification for Abrasion Resistance’ for a specified slab surface, and also Table 5.1 found within section 5 of The Concrete Society’s Technical Report No 34.
British Standards ‘Classification for Abrasion Resistance’ for a specified slab surface is detailed in Table 3 and Table 4 of BS 8204-2:2003 + A2:2011 and as per EN 13892-4
