Concrete maturity standards
The maturity method is an accepted testing method to validate concrete strength in many countries and its procedures have been standardized by several organizations. In the list below, we have gathered the standards related to concrete maturity and sorted them by country:

Europe
In European countries, rather than having a standard for every country, three standards are normally used as reference:
- EN 206-1: 2002, Concrete – Part 1: Specification, performance, production and conformity
- BS EN 13670: Execution of concrete structures
- NEN 5970: Determination of Strength of Fresh Concrete with the Method of Weighted Maturity
United States
- ASTM C1074: Standard Practice for Estimating Concrete Strength by Maturity Method.
- ASTM C918: Standard Test Method for Measuring Early-Age Compressive Strength and Projecting Later-Age Strength.
- ACI 318- 6.2: Building Code Requirement for Structural Concrete and Commentary.
- ACI 228.1R: In-place Methods to Estimate Concrete Strength.
- ACI 306R: Guide to Cold Weather Concreting.
- AASHTO T325: Standard Method of Test for Estimating the Strength of Concrete in Transportation Construction by Maturity Tests.
- DOT: Many of the DOT's in the United States have adopted the maturity method in their specifications. In the table below, you can see the states where the DOT accepts maturity as a testing method:
Alabama | Kentucky | New Mexico | Texas |
Arizona | Louisiana | North Carolina | Utah |
Colorado | Maine | North Dakota | Virginia |
Delaware | Michigan | Ohio | Washington |
Florida | Minnesota | Oklahoma | West Virginia |
Idaho | Mississippi | Oregon | Wisconsin |
Indiana | Missouri | Pennsylvania | |
