What is BS EN 932-5 - common equipment, calibration aggregates about?

Calibration defines the accuracy and quality of measurements recorded using a piece of equipment. BS EN 932-5 is a European Standard that discusses tests for general properties of aggregates. The main aim of the BS EN 932 series is to provide the best industry guidance to ensure construction materials contribute to the structural integrity of civil engineering works.

BS EN 932-5 is the fifth part of the multi-series that specifies general requirements for common equipment, calibration and checking procedures, and reagents for the testing of the properties of aggregates.

Who is BS EN 932-5 - common equipment, calibration aggregates for?

BS EN 932-5 on common equipment, calibration aggregates are useful for:

Manufacturers of equipment
Product designers
Civil engineers
Builders
Contractors
Aggregates manufacturing industry
Quality control and testing authorities

Why should you use BS EN 932-5 - common equipment, calibration aggregates?

To be confident in the results being measured there is an ongoing need to maintain the calibration of equipment throughout its lifetime for reliable, accurate, and repeatable measurements.

In the case of checking, other procedures than the ones described in BS EN 932-5 may be used provided that appropriate working relationships with the corresponding methods described in BS EN 932-5 have been established. In case of dispute, the checking methods described in BS EN 932-5 shall be used.

932-5 provides guidance on tolerances, common equipment, measuring instruments, calibration and checking, reagents, calibration, and checking of test equipment, checking of other instruments.

Thus, 932-5 helps you to assure accurate measurements and production of quality products with reduced errors and recalls.

Overall, 932-5 enhances safety while saving money and boosting profitability by reducing the expenses of incorrect product acceptance and rejection, increasing production efficiency, and prolonging the life of the equipment.
