Have you heard about the new AASHTO Accreditation Program policy on masonry unit and prism testing? Discover the historical context beginning with the 2019 updates to the ASTM C1716 standard for compression testing machines that left some labs wondering if their compression machines are compliant. This discussion reveals how labs are now categorized based on their capacity to test full-size versus reduced-size specimens. Our exploration unpacks how these distinctions simplify the process for clients and agencies seeking specific testing capabilities.
Our conversation also zeroes in on the prohibition against accrediting labs that only test masonry "coupons." Uncover the rationale behind this decision and why it's crucial for maintaining high-quality standards in the industry. Plus, learn how providing detailed documentation before your assessment can streamline the accreditation process, saving labs time and resources by cutting down on follow-up visits. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the requirements of ASTM C140, C1314, and C1716.
