This document specifies a method of determining the carbonation rate of a concrete, expressed in mm/?a. This document establishes a procedure where a standardized climate controlled chamber is used and where specimens are placed on a natural exposure site protected from direct rainfall. The standardized climate controlled chamber procedure is the reference method. These procedures are applicable for the initial testing of concrete, but they are not applicable for factory production control.
