2. The concept of construction sand:
Construction sand is one of the most important and indispensable materials of any construction project. The most important thing to help the project meet the standard of quality and longevity is to choose a good quality building material. Construction sand must be clean sand with certificate of conformity to ensure safety in construction.
Construction sand is the common name for all kinds of natural sand, crushed sand and mixed sand that have met the standards for use in construction. In construction, sand is mixed with cement and water to form mortar or stone is added to form concrete.
Crushed sand used for concrete and mortar must be checked for technical requirements and product quality control must satisfy the requirements specified in Table 1 of QCVN 16:2019/BXD issued together with Circular No. 19 /2019/TT-BXD dated December 31, 2019 of the Minister of Construction.

3. Why is it necessary to check construction sand conformity??
If the quality of crushed sand in construction is poor, it will greatly affect the construction efficiency and durability of the work.
Currently, in Vietnam, there are very few factories producing construction sand, the works mainly get sand at natural sand mines, the sand is less treated with impurities and dirt, but often sold to the market. It is this reason that has greatly affected the construction works:
- Non-standard sand quality will waste cement: unclean construction sand affects the adhesion to cement, reducing adhesion, so the amount of cement needed to be used is more.
- Reducing the life of the works: the bad adhesion leads to the hollow for a long time, the water easily penetrates through the surface causing peeling, corrosion of iron and steel, easy to make the building collapse, crack after a period of use.
- Sand containing organic compounds will reduce the strength of concrete and mortar. In particular, if the sand contains amorphous silicon impurities, it will cause the self-destruction of concrete from the inside after about 20 years of use.
Dirty sand used for plastering makes the surface rough, moldy, water-soaked, patchy, causing unsightly…
4. Forms of conformity of crushed sand for concrete and mortar:
Method 1: typical sample test. Validity of the Certificate of Conformity of crushed sand for concrete and mortar is one year and is monitored through testing of samples each time it is imported. The certificate of conformity of construction materials is only valid for the type and type of products and goods being sampled for testing.
Method 5: Test type samples and evaluate the production process; monitoring through testing of samples taken at the production site or on the market in conjunction with assessment of the production process.
Method 7: Testing and evaluating batches of products and goods. (For importing companies, the time for certification is 18-30 days)
