1 Scope
This standard specifies the methods for testing uniformity of admixtures in cement concrete.
This standard is applicable to 11 categories of concrete admixtures including high performance water reducer (accelerating, standard, retarding), high range water reducer (standard, retarding), water reducer (accelerating, standard, retarding), air entraining and water reducing admixture, pumping aid, hardening accelerating admixture, retarder, air entraining admixture, waterproofing agent, antifreezing agent and accelerating agent.

3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
Repeatability conditions
Testing conditions that the same measured object is independently tested by the same operator using the same equipment in the same laboratory according to the same method in a short time.
3.2
Reproducibility conditions
Testing conditions that the same measured object is independently tested by different operators using different equipment in different laboratories according to the same method.
3.3
Repeatability limit
A value, under the repeatability conditions (3.1), that the absolute difference of two test results is less than or equal to this value in a probability of 95%.
3.4
Reproducibility limit
A value, under the reproducibility conditions (3.2), that the absolute difference of two test results is less than or equal to this value in a probability of 95%.
