Historically Concrete Society Technical Report 11 CSTR 11 was used in the UK to interpret core strength results but it was superseded in part by BS EN 13791 and BS 6089 Following extensive research BS 13791 was again revised in 2024 to incorporate features of BS 6089 and current thinking At the same time the concrete core testing standards were revised The BS EN 12390 standards
