This Final Draft Uganda Standard describes the method for the determination of the compressive and, optionally, the flexural strength of cement mortar. The method applies to common cements and to other cements and materials. It may not apply to cement types that have, for example, a very short initial setting time.

The method is used for assessing whether the compressive strength of cement is in conformity with its specification and for validation testing of standard sand, or alternative compaction equipment. This Final Draft Standard describes the reference equipment and procedure and allows alternative compaction equipment and procedures to be used provided that they have been validated in accordance with the appropriate provisions in this standard. In the event of a dispute, only the reference equipment and procedure are used.
