Engineer II - DPWH Regional Office No. 12 Quality Assurance and Hydrology Division Minimum Testing Requirements The prescribed tests on the construction materials to be used in a project based on approved contract quantities.
The requirements which specify the
kind and number of tests for each pay item of works.
Note: It should be emphasized that what are specified are
the minimum number of testing only. Additional number of tests can be required to the materials if the owner/inspector is in doubt of the quality of materials or the finished structures.
