Kort fortalt
Download Staht's free anchor site test report as a fillable PDF. It follows what BS 8539 recommends a report records: the job, the anchor and the test asked for, the base material, the installation, each anchor's position and result, the equipment and its calibration, and a sign-off saying the report records facts only.
Denne veiledningen forklarer hvordan prøving på byggeplass planlegges og gjennomføres i henhold til BS 8539:2012+A1:2021. Den erstatter ikke standarden, ankerprodusentens data eller instruksene fra den som spesifiserer eller den ansvarlige ingeniøren for oppdraget, som bestemmer prøveplanen, lastene og faktorene. En prøving dokumenterer hva som skjedde den aktuelle dagen; den godkjenner ikke et feste for bruk.

Is it a certificate or a report?
People search for an "anchor pull test certificate", and the document is the same thing: a record of the tests. We call it a report because it doesn't certify that a fixing is fit for use. It states what each anchor did on the day; the specifier or responsible engineer decides what that means.
How to fill it in
- Fill in parts 1 to 3 before the visit, from the test request.
- Fill in part 4 only if you installed the anchors or watched them go in.
- Give each anchor's position on a drawing, or describe it well enough for someone on site to find it.
- Name any failure mode using the groups in first movement and failure modes.
- Sign, and attach the method statement and the tester's calibration certificate.
- Give the report to the person who asked for the tests.
Do I need it if I use Staht Connect?
Not for the results: the Staht Connect app records each test's peak load, target load, pass or fail and time, with photos and a map pin, and the dashboard makes a report in one click. Check that whatever produces your report covers every item in the template: use the app's custom form fields, or this template, for items such as the drill bit diameter.

Yes. Part 2 records the test type and procedure, and the results table has a column for the load at first movement, which BS 8539 asks to be recorded in site tests.
It is one of the items BS 8539 lists for a site test report, alongside the hole diameter and depth.
