I have a German > English text that mentions "Attestbeton" as one of the products produced by a Dutch company (Euroment). I've found some googles mentioning this product, but they are in Dutch. I think is has something to do with a filler. Enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.

certified concrete
really have no idea what it would be in English, but the gist is this. Attestbeton is concrete which for whatever reason (mixing factor, additives) does not answer to the concrete standards out there. But, even though it does not comply with the norm (say NEN 9999) they can by "attest" state that it is in all respects equal to that norm.
Apparently this is all very official, even though it does come across as a concrete version of the Reinheitsgebot :)
I´d never heard of it before, but this might at least help you a bit further.
Here´s a link btw. Just in case
