Adequate resistance of concrete to freeze-thaw attack should be verified by laboratory tests such as the CIF Test. CIF means ‘Capillary suction, Internal damage and Freeze-thaw test’. The CIF test is based upon the RILEM Recommendation of the CDF-test (Capillary Suction, De-icing agent and Freeze-thaw Test), where precision data for scaling have been determined, and complements this test.
