Assessment of GRC Flexural Strength Test Results

GRC manufacturers may use the GRCA’s "Characteristic Value Spreadsheet" to determine the compliance of their GRC flexural strength test results with the GRCA Specification requirements for LOP and MOR values. GRC test results input into the first sheet are automatically analysed and displayed on the second sheet. GRC manufacturing GRCA Full Members must demonstrate compliance of their characteristic strength test results with the GRCA Specification requirements on an annual basis.
