Overview
EN 413-2:2016 - Masonry cement - Part 2: Test methods (CEN) specifies the standardized laboratory methods for testing masonry cements to assess conformity with EN 413‑1. It focuses on tests on fresh mortar: consistence, water retention and air content. The standard defines both reference and alternative methods (reference methods take precedence in disputes) and includes environmental and equipment tolerances to ensure repeatable results.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Test methods for fresh mortar made with masonry cement to verify conformity with EN 413‑1.
- Laboratory conditions: Typical testing environment at (20 ± 2) °C and relative humidity ≥ 50 %. Some tests (setting time Method B) require (20 ± 1) °C and ≥ 90 % RH.
- Setting time:
- Two options: Method A (EN 196‑3) or Method B (reference) using a Vicat apparatus.
- Initial setting reported when Vicat needle distance = (6 ± 3) mm (to nearest 5 min). Final setting when penetration is 0.5 mm (to nearest 15 min).
- Precision: repeatability SD - initial 4 min, final 7 min; reproducibility SD - initial 20 min, final 24 min.
- Consistence (fresh mortar):
- Reference method: plunger apparatus (mass of plunger/rod (90 ± 2) g; initial plunger position 100 ± 0.5 mm above mortar).
- Alternative method: flow table test - acceptable only when an equivalent flow spread to the plunger penetration is established for the masonry cement under test.
- Water retention:
- Procedure and apparatus defined; guidance updated for gauze properties used in the test. Precision data revised following inter-laboratory studies.
- Air content:
- Reference: pressure method (detailed principle, calibration and procedure).
- Alternative: alcohol method.
- General measurement controls: manufacturing and in-use tolerances for test equipment, number of tests (single test for statistical series; two tests otherwise).
Applications and users
EN 413-2 is used by:
- Cement and mortar manufacturers for product development and factory quality control.
- Independent testing laboratories performing conformity checks against EN 413‑1.
- Construction quality assurance teams and specifiers verifying material performance for bedding, rendering and plastering.
- Regulatory bodies and certification schemes that require standardized test evidence.
Practical benefits include consistent assessment of fresh-mortar performance (workability, water retention and entrained air), better comparability between labs, and defensible test results in procurement and compliance contexts.
