Overview
EN 1937:1999 is a CEN (European Committee for Standardization) test standard that defines standard mixing procedures for laboratory testing of hydraulic setting floor smoothing and/or levelling compounds. The standard specifies how to mix these powdered products with water and/or any liquid component supplied by the manufacturer to ensure reproducible test specimens and comparable test results across laboratories.
Key topics and requirements
The standard focuses on establishing consistent, repeatable mixing and sample-preparation practices. Key technical topics typically covered include:
- Standardised mixing procedure for hydraulic setting smoothing and levelling compounds (powder + water or manufacturer-supplied liquid).
- Use of specified equipment and mixing tools to reduce variability between tests.
- Sequence and method of addition (order of powder, water/liquid, and any admixtures) to produce a representative mix.
- Mixing time and technique to achieve consistent workability and homogeneity (procedural requirement, not specific performance values).
- Ambient conditions and sample conditioning (temperature, humidity) to support reproducibility of test results.
- Documentation and labelling of batch, mix proportions, and mixing parameters to support traceability and test reporting. Note: EN 1937 prescribes the procedural approach rather than product performance limits; exact numeric parameters (ratios, times) are those specified within the standard text or by the product manufacturer.
Applications
EN 1937 is intended for use where controlled laboratory mixing is required for subsequent testing of floor smoothing and levelling materials. Typical applications include:
- Laboratory test preparation for mechanical, physical and durability tests of levelling compounds.
- Quality control and batch verification by manufacturers.
- Product development and comparative testing of formulations.
- Preparation of samples for conformity testing and certification processes.
- Research studies on cementitious and hydraulic floor finishes.
Who uses this standard
- Manufacturers of hydraulic setting floor smoothing and levelling compounds
- Independent testing and calibration laboratories
- Product certification bodies and conformity assessors
- R&D teams and material scientists working on floor levelling products
- Flooring specifiers, consultants and quality managers involved in construction-material testing
