Foreword
This document (EN 196-5:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 51 ‘Cement
and building limes’, the secretariat of which is held by IBN/BIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2005, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by August 2005.
This document supersedes EN 196-5:1994.
This European Standard on the methods of testing cement comprises the following Parts:
EN 196-1, Methods of testing cement — Part 1: Determination of strength
EN 196-2, Methods of testing cement — Part 2: Chemical analysis of cement
EN 196-3, Methods of testing cement — Part 3: Determination of setting time and soundness
EN 196-5, Methods of testing cement — Part 5: Pozzolanicity test for pozzolanic cements
EN 196-6, Methods of testing cement — Part 6: Determination of fineness
EN 196-7, Methods of testing cement — Part 7: Methods of taking and preparing samples of cement
EN 196-8, Methods of testing cement — Part 8: Heat of hydration — Solution method
EN 196-9, Methods of testing cement — Part 9: Heat of hydration — Semi-adiabatic method
NOTE A previous part, EN 196-21: Methods of testing cement — Part 21: Determination of the chloride,
carbon dioxide and alkali content of cement, has been revised and incorporated into EN 196-2.
Another document, ENV 196-4 Methods of testing cement — Part 4: Quantitative determination of constituents,
has been drafted and will be published as a CEN Technical Report.
This edition introduces the following technical changes based on comments received by the
secretariat:
a) the procedure, reagents and layout of the standard have been aligned with the relevant clauses
of EN 196-2;
b) the procedure for preparation of a test sample has been clarified;
c) Patton and Reeders reagent has been included as an additional, optional indicator for visual
determination of EDTA titrations;
d) the specification for apparatus has been extended to include a balance of specified accuracy;
apparatus for measuring the absorbance of a solution whilst being stirred and a pH meter of
specified accuracy.

1 Scope
This document specifies the method of measuring the pozzolanicity of pozzolanic cements conforming
to EN 197-1. This document does not apply to Portland pozzolana cements or to pozzolanas.
This method constitutes the reference procedure.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 196-7, Methods of testing cement — Methods of taking and preparing samples of cement
ISO 385-1, Laboratory glassware — Burettes — Part 1: General requirements
ISO 835-1, Laboratory glassware — Graduated pipettes — Part 1: General requirements
3 Principle
The pozzolanicity is assessed by comparing the concentration of calcium ion, expressed as calcium
oxide, present in the aqueous solution in contact with the hydrated cement, after a fixed period of time,
with the quantity of calcium ion capable of saturating a solution of the same alkalinity. The cement is
considered to satisfy the test, i.e. gives a positive result, if the concentration of calcium ion in the
solution is lower than the saturation concentration.
NOTE Experiment has shown that a mixture of 20 g of cement and 100 ml of water at 40 °C achieves
equilibrium after a period of between 8 d and 15 d. If the cement satisfies the test at 8 d (see 10.2) it is not
necessary to continue to 15 d.
4 General requirements for testing
4.1 Number of tests
Where the determination is one of a series subject to statistical control, determination by a single test
shall be the minimum required.
Where the determination is not part of a series subject to statistical control, the number of tests shall
be two (see also 10.1).
In the case of dispute, the number of tests shall be two.
4.2 Repeatability and reproducibility
Repeatability - Precision under repeatability conditions where independent test results are obtained
with the same method on identical test items (material) in the same laboratory by the same operator
using the same equipment within short intervals of time.
Reproducibility - Precision under reproducibility conditions where test results are obtained with the
same method on identical test items (material) in different laboratories with different operators using
different equipment.
Repeatability and reproducibility in this document are expressed as repeatability standard deviation(s)
and reproducibility standard deviation(s).
4.3 Expression of masses, volumes and factors
Express masses in grams to the nearest 0,000 1 g and volumes from the burette in millilitres to the
nearest 0,05 ml. Express the factors of solutions, given by the mean of three determinations, to three
decimal places.
4.4 Determination of constant mass
Determine constant mass by drying for successive periods at the stated temperature, or making
successive 15 min ignitions, followed each time by cooling and then weighing. Constant mass is
reached when the difference between two successive weighings is less than 0,000 5 g.
5 Preparation of a test sample of cement
Before starting the determinations, treat the laboratory sample, taken in accordance with EN 196-7,
as follows to obtain a homogenous test sample.
Take approximately 100 g of the sample using a sample divider or by quartering. Sieve this portion on
a 150 µm or 125 µm sieve until the residue remains constant. Grind the retained material so that it
completely passes the 150 µm or 12
