Cement - Part 2: Assessment and verification of constancy of performance
This document specifies the scheme for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of cements, including certification of constancy of performance.
The document provides technical rules for factory production control, further testing of samples taken at the manufacturing plant (autocontrol testing) and assessment of the performance of the cement, initial inspection of the manufacturing plant and of factory production control, continuing surveillance, assessment and evaluation of factory production control and audit-testing of samples. It also provides rules for actions to be followed in the event of non-conformity and requirements for depots.
In this document, the word "cement" is used to refer both to common cements as defined in EN 197 1 and to other cements and binders for which the relevant product specification standard makes reference to this document and which are submitted for certification. Such a cement is produced at a given factory and belongs to a particular type and a particular strength class, as defined and specified in the relevant product specification standard.
The guidelines given in the Technical Report CEN/TR 14245 [1] contain information for the application of this document.
This document is linked with the Annexes ZA of European Standards covering cements and binders, i.e. EN 197 1, EN 14216, EN 14647, EN 413 1 and EN 15743.
NOTE The reason for having drafted this separate document is that the provisions it includes are applicable to different products covered by different European Standards.
Zement - Teil 2: Bewertung und Überprüfung der Leistungsbeständigkeit
Dieses Dokument legt das Verfahren für die Bewertung und Überprüfung der Leistungsbeständigkeit (AVCP, en: assessment and verification of constancy of performance) von Zementen einschließlich der Zertifizierung der Leistungsbeständigkeit fest.
Das Dokument enthält technische Regeln für die werkseigene Produktionskontrolle, die weitere Prüfung von Proben, die im Herstellungsbetrieb (interne Überwachungsprüfungen) entnommen wurden, und die Beurteilung der Leistung von Zement, die Erstüberwachung des Herstellungsbetriebs und der werkseigenen Produktionskontrolle, die laufende Überwachung, die Bewertung und Evaluierung der werkseigenen Produktionskontrolle und die Fremdüberwachungsprüfungen von Proben. Es enthält darüber hinaus Regeln für Maßnahmen, die bei Nichtkonformität zu ergreifen sind, sowie Anforderungen für Herstellerdepots.
In diesem Dokument verweist das Wort „Zement“ sowohl auf Normalzemente, wie in EN 197 1 festgelegt, als auch auf weitere Zemente und Bindemittel, deren entsprechende Produktnormen auf dieses Dokument verweisen und die der Zertifizierung unterworfen werden. Solch ein Zement wird in einem bestimmten Werk hergestellt und gehört zu einer bestimmten Art und Festigkeitsklasse, wie in der zugehörigen Produktnorm definiert und festgelegt.
Die im Technischen Bericht CEN/TR 14245 [1] gegebene Anleitung enthält Informationen für die Anwendung dieses Dokuments.
Dieses Dokument ist verknüpft mit den Anhängen ZA von Europäischen Normen, die Zement und Bindemittel behandeln, d. h. EN 197 1, EN 14216, EN 14647, EN 413 1 und EN 15743.
ANMERKUNG Grund für die Verfassung dieses gesonderten Dokuments ist, dass die hierin enthaltenen Festlegungen auf unterschiedliche Produkte anwendbar sind, die in verschiedenen Europäischen Normen behandelt werden.
Ciment - Partie 2: Evaluation et vérification de la constance de la performance
Le présent document spécifie le système d’évaluation et de vérification de la constance des performances (EVCP) des ciments, qui inclut une certification de la constance des performances.
Ce document fournit les règles techniques pour le contrôle de la production en usine, les essais complémentaires sur des échantillons prélevés dans l’établissement de fabrication (essais d’autocontrôle) et l’évaluation des performances du ciment, l’inspection initiale de l’établissement de fabrication et du contrôle de la production en usine, la surveillance, l’évaluation et l’appréciation permanentes du contrôle de la production en usine et les essais par sondage des échantillons. Il établit également des règles à suivre en cas de non-conformité et les exigences applicables aux centres de distribution et aux dépôts.
Dans le présent document, le terme « ciment » est utilisé pour faire référence aux ciments courants tels que définis dans l’EN 197-1 ainsi qu’aux autres ciments et liants dont les normes de spécification de produit correspondantes font référence au présent document et qui sont soumis à certification. Un tel ciment est produit dans une usine donnée et appartient à un type et à une classe de résistance particuliers, définis et spécifiés dans la norme de spécification de produit correspondante.
Les lignes directrices données dans le Rapport technique CEN/TR 14245 [4] contiennent des informations sur l’application du présent document.
NOTE La raison pour laquelle ce document séparé a été rédigé est que les dispositions qu’il contient sont applicables à différents produits couverts par des Normes européennes différentes.
