3、.1. Scope*1.1 This practice identifies and defines the duties,responsibilities, and minimum technical requirements of test-ing agency personnel and the minimum technical requirementsfor equipment utilized in testing concrete and concrete aggre-gates for use in construction.1.2 This practice provides
4、 criteria for the evaluation of thecapability of a testing agency to perform designatedASTM testmethods on concrete and concrete aggregates. It can be used byan evaluation authority in the inspection or accreditation of atesting agency or by other parties to determine if the agency isqualified to co
5、nduct the specified tests.NOTE 1Specification E329 provides criteria for the evaluation ofagencies that perform the inspection of concrete during placement.1.3 This practice provides criteria for Inspection Bodies andAccreditation Bodies that provide services for evaluation oftesting agencies in acc

21、 of evaluationare inspection and accreditation, and these evaluations areoffered by many evaluation authorities. An inspection is anevaluation of equipment and procedures based on the TestMethods and Procedures section, along with a review of thequality system. An inspection report is the final step
22、 in theprocess for an inspection agency. The testing agency beingevaluated performs corrective actions for any deficienciesnoted, and these corrections are to be placed with the otherinspection documentation as part of the permanent record ofthe inspection. An accreditation agency uses the results o
23、f theinspection report or the results of their own onsite assessmentas one phase of the accreditation process. As a separate phase,the accreditation agency also reviews the testing agencyscorrective actions for the deficiencies noted and issues acertificate of accreditation once all of the deficienc
24、ies havebeen corrected. There is no universally accepted evaluationauthority in the construction materials testing field; therefore,testing agencies should give careful consideration when select-ing an evaluation authority to gain the most benefit from theevaluation. In most cases, a testing agency
25、will select anevaluation authority as a result of requirements in a projectspecification, or contract, or in response to local codes, or otherindustry requirements. In those circumstances, the require-ments will stipulate the acceptable evaluation authorities. Ifthere are no specific requirements an
26、d the evaluation is inanticipation of future work or to compete with other localtesting agencies, then the agency should contact the organiza-tion(s) most likely to use their services for a list of acceptableevaluation authorities. A list of evaluation authorities is pro-vided in the Qualification o
27、f Personnel and Laboratory Evalu-ation section of the Manual of Aggregate and ConcreteTesting.6The list is merely a collection of organizations willingto provide this service and is not an endorsement of anyparticular organization. Other organizations may also be avail-able to provide this service.3
