Overview

EN 1015-1:1998/A1:2006 is a CEN amendment to the European test method for mortar for masonry that defines the procedure for determining particle size distribution (PSD) by sieve analysis. This amendment updates the original EN 1015‑1:1998 with targeted changes to the Foreword, Clause 2 (Normative references) and Clause 7.1 (General testing method). It clarifies how the test is cited and applied across CEN member states and confirms that the amendment must be adopted into national standards by June 2007.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: Applies to methods of test for mortar for masonry focused on PSD determination using sieve analysis.
• Testing approach: The amendment specifies that mortars shall be tested by dry sieving, except when agglomerates are anticipated - in which case wet sieving is required. This is the primary technical change in Clause 7.1.
• Normative references: Clause 2 wording is revised to state that referenced documents are indispensable for application. For dated references only the cited edition applies; for undated references, the latest edition (including amendments) applies.
• Editorial changes: All occurrences of the prefix “pr” before EN references have been deleted to standardize citation format.
• Standardization and adoption: The amendment was prepared by CEN/TC 125 “Masonry” and must be incorporated into national standards of all CEN member bodies (implementation deadline: June 2007).

Applications and users

This standard is relevant to professionals involved in masonry materials testing and specification, including:

• Test laboratories performing mortar characterization and quality control.
• Manufacturers of cement, lime, gypsum and masonry mortars who need to document granular composition.
• Construction quality managers and site engineers verifying mortar suitability for masonry works.
• Standards bodies and compliance officers in EU member states adopting and implementing the amendment.
• Specifiers and researchers assessing workability, mixing behavior, and performance attributes that depend on particle size distribution.

Related standards

• EN 1015 series (other Parts) - for additional mortar test methods and performance metrics (referenced in Clause 2).
• National implementations of EN 1015-1:1998/A1:2006 - consult your national standards body for the adopted text and any language translations.
