Grouping Guidelines
1. Pulverized fuel ash-cement bricks covered under IS 16720 are classified as under:
c) Class designation – 15/ 12.5/ 10 /7.5 / 5 (Based on average 28 days Wet Compressive
Strength)
2. Considering the different requirements for Water Absorption (i.e. for bricks upto and
including class 10 and higher class above class 10), the class designation have been classified into
two groups as below:
3. Considering the above, the following grouping guidelines for GoL/CSoL have been
developed:
a) Any one size of brick from any class designation from each group shall be tested to cover
all sizes of bricks in that class designation for that particular group. However, if bricks of
higher class designation from a group is tested for all requirements, other lower class
designation in that group may also be covered.
b) Separate sample of bricks, with and without frog shall be tested to cover that particular
variety in the scope of the licence.
3. The Firm shall declare varieties of bricks they intend to cover in the Licence.
4. The Scope of Licence may be restricted based on the Manufacturing and Testing
capabilities of the Manufacturer.
5. During the operation of the Licence, BO shall ensure that all varieties covered in the
Licence are tested in rotation, to the extent possible.
