European and Spanish regulations establish a series of conformity and acceptance criteria for concrete, as well as identity testing. The effectiveness of the first ones has been sufficiently studied by means of Operative Control Curves that provide the probability of acceptance or rejection of conforming concrete. However, it is not possible to find similar studies in the literature about the effectiveness of the identity criteria, despite their relevance in the decision making process for the manufacturer, the authorities and the consumer. In this paper the authors, using Monte Carlo simulation, have investigated the effectiveness of the European and Spanish identity criteria by obtaining curves with the probability of identifying unsolicited concrete and the probability of rejecting a conforming concrete when applying the criteria.
