In particular, small and medium-sized enterprises with limited R & D and laboratory capacities will find it useful to develop a test method for XF2 concretes. Smaller companies in the building materials industry can more easily evaluate the suitability of new building materials. Market entry barriers will be lowered and it will be easier for companies in the ready-mixed concrete and precast industry to optimize their XF2 concretes. In addition, especially medium-sized cement producers can be supported by the derivation of descriptive application rules for new cements with several main components at market introduction. The application security for the contractors is increased and the complaint risk is lowered.
