*Note 1: Inspector days will be different between SAC/ Non-SAC accredited certification body.
*Note 2: Inspector days for each subsequent batching plant (BP) using a different mixer in the same location and using the same constituent material from the sources as the first batching plant, would be reduced by 0.5 inspector day.
*Note 3: 35 samples exceeding 3 months and meet the concrete strength characteristic.
