BS EN 12390-2:2019 is the British Standards adoption of the European Standard (EN 12390-2). It focuses on the "Testing of hardened concrete – Part 2: Making and curing specimens for strength tests."

Curing is arguably the most critical phase of the process. Cement hydration requires constant moisture and controlled temperatures. Deviating from standard curing conditions can lead to artificial strength drops of 10% to 30%. BS EN 12390-2:2019 divides curing into two distinct phases: Phase 1: Initial Curing (In the Mould) : Specimens remain in their moulds for 16
