2. Concrete quality
Concrete, the result of a manufacturing and laying process, is considered by the standard (see Pour en savoir plus) as a material resulting from a continuous process. Its characteristics are considered intrinsic, both in terms of quality and quantity. The quality of concrete is understood as the ability of this material to satisfy the expressed or implicit needs of each party involved, whether these be technical, economic, aesthetic or ecological. In a contractual context, these needs are specified and lead to the notion of required quality.
