Cement - Part 1: Composition, specifications and conformity criteria for common cements

This document defines and gives the specifications of 39 distinct common cements, 7 sulfate resisting common cements as well as 3 distinct low early strength blast furnace cements and 2 sulfate resisting low early strength blast furnace cements and their constituents. The definition of each cement includes the proportions in which the constituents are to be combined to produce these distinct products in a range of nine strength classes. The definition also includes requirements which the constituents have to meet. It also includes mechanical, physical, and chemical requirements. Furthermore, this standard states the conformity criteria and the related rules. Necessary durability requirements are also given.
In addition to those sulfate resisting cements defined in the present document, other cements conforming either to this standard or to other standards, European or national, have been nationally demonstrated to have sulfate resisting properties. These cements which are listed in Annex A, are considered by different CEN Member countries as sulfate resisting within the limits of their territory.
NOTE 1   In addition to the specified requirements, an exchange of additional information between the cement manufacturer and user can be helpful. The procedures for such an exchange are not within the scope of this standard but should be dealt with in accordance with national standards or regulations or can be agreed between the parties concerned.
NOTE 2   The word "cement" in EN 197-1 is used to refer only to common cements unless otherwise specified.
This document does not cover:
-   very low heat special cement covered by EN 14216;
-   supersulfated cement covered by EN 15743;
-   calcium aluminate cement covered by EN 14647;
-   masonry cement covered by EN 413-1.

Zement - Teil 1: Zusammensetzung, Anforderungen und Konformitätskriterien von Normalzement

Dieses Dokument legt die Eigenschaften und Anforderungen von 39 unterschiedlichen Normalzementen, sieben Normalzementen mit hohem Sulfatwiderstand, drei unterschiedlichen Hochofenzementen mit niedriger Anfangsfestigkeit und zwei Hochofenzementen mit niedriger Anfangsfestigkeit und hohem Sulfat-widerstand sowie ihren Bestandteilen fest. Die Definition jeder Zementart enthält die Anteile der Bestandteile, die erforderlich sind, um diese verschiedenen Produkte in neun Festigkeitsklassen herzustellen. Die Definition enthält auch die Anforderungen, die die Bestandteile erfüllen müssen, sowie die Anforderungen an die mechanischen, physikalischen und chemischen Eigenschaften. Darüber hinaus enthält diese Norm die Konformitätskriterien und die damit verbundenen Regeln sowie die erforderlichen Anforderungen an die Dauerhaftigkeit.
Neben den in diesem Dokument definierten Zementen mit hohem Sulfatwiderstand gibt es weitere Zemente, die entweder dieser Norm oder anderen Normen, ob europäisch oder national, entsprechen und deren Sulfatwiderstandsfähigkeit unter nationalen Bedingungen nachgewiesen wurde. Diese Zemente, die in Anhang A aufgeführt sind, gelten in den jeweiligen CEN-Mitgliedsländern innerhalb ihrer Länder als sulfatwiderstandsfähig.
ANMERKUNG 1   Neben den festgelegten Anforderungen kann ein Austausch von zusätzlichen Informationen zwischen Zementhersteller und -anwender sinnvoll sein. Die Vorgehensweisen für einen solchen Austausch sind nicht Gegenstand dieser Norm, sondern sie sollten in Übereinstimmung mit den nationalen Normen oder Vorschriften festgelegt werden oder können zwischen den Beteiligten vereinbart werden.
ANMERKUNG 2   Wenn nicht anders angegeben, bezieht sich das Wort "Zement" in EN 197-1 nur auf Normalzemente.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für:
-   Sonderzement mit sehr niedriger Hydratationswärme nach EN 14216;
-   Sulfathüttenzement nach EN 15743;
-   Tonerdezement nach EN 14647;
-   Putz- und Mauerbinder nach EN 413-1.

European foreword
This document (prEN 197-1:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 51 “Cement and
building lime”, the secretariat of which is held by NBN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 197-1:2011.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports basic requirements of Regulation
(EU) No 305/2011 amended by the Commission Delegated Regulations (EU) No 157/2014 of
30 October 2013, No 568/2014 of 18 February 2014 and No 574/2014 of 21 February 2014.
For relationship with Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part
of this document.
Annexes A and ZA are informative.
Compared to the version EN 197-1:2011 the following major changes have been included in this
document:
— CEM II/C and CEM VI have been defined as new cement types;
— CEM V has been renamed as Slag-pozzolanic cement;
— the total alkali content was included as part of the essentials characteristics and corresponding
rules were laid down;
— Annex ZA has been revised.
EN 197, Cement, is currently composed with the following parts:
— Part 1: Composition, specifications and conformity criteria for common cements
— Part 2: Conformity evaluation
The preparation of a standard for cement was initiated by the European Economic Community (EEC) in
1969 and, at the request of a member state later in 1973, the work was given to the European
Committee for Standardization (CEN). The Technical Committee CEN/TC 51 was entrusted with the
task of preparing a cement standard for the countries of Western Europe, comprising the EEC and EFTA
members.
In the early eighties, CEN/TC 51 decided to include in the standard for cement only those cements
which are intended for use in any plain and reinforced concrete and which are familiar in most
countries in Western Europe because they have been produced and used in these countries for many
years. The EU Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC) required the incorporation of all
traditional and well-tried cements in order to remove technical barriers to trade in the construction
field. There are currently no criteria for the descriptions “traditional” and “well tried” and it was
maintained the need to separate the “common cements” from “special cements”, i.e. those with
additional or special properties.
The requirements in this standard are based on the results of tests on cement in accordance with
EN 196-1, EN 196-2, EN 196-3, EN 196-5, EN 196-6, EN 196-7, EN 196-8, and EN 196-9. The scheme for
the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of common cements including
common cements with low heat of hydration and common cements generally accepted as being sulfate
resisting and of special cements are specified in EN 197-2.
In 2006, CEN/TC 51 began to investigate the possible standardization of some new cements produced
using traditional constituents and manufacturin
