Spangler. “No other industry-accepted test method for concrete moisture offers such fast
results, and certainly none are more reliable or accurate than the RH test.”

The F2170 Update Further Supports RH Testing as the Preferred Concrete Moisture Test

ASTM first published its F2170 standard in 2002, in response to Scandinavian research that
detailed many of the significant advantages of using RH testing to prevent moisture-related
flooring failures. The P&B study results lends further credence to the scientific superiority of RH
testing over surface-based moisture condition test methods.

Now, the RH test is shown to be not only more scientifically accurate and reliable, but also more
actionable, providing contractors with usable results in a fraction of the time of other test
methods.

ASTM International is an international standards organization that has developed and published
over 12,000 standards covering a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services.
