ISO 12491:1997 PDF

Overview

ISO 12491:1997 - Statistical methods for quality control of building materials and components - provides general principles and operational techniques for applying statistical quality control in the construction sector. Intended to support the safety and serviceability principles of ISO 2394, the standard is applicable to all buildings and civil engineering works and to common materials such as concrete, steel, wood and bricks. It focuses on classical statistical methods (with a Bayesian option) to make quality control more efficient and cost-effective, especially where tests are expensive or destructive.
