Overview

SIST EN 1015-17:2001/A1:2004 is a European Standard established by the CEN that specifies a method for determining the water-soluble chloride content in fresh mortars used in masonry. Chloride content assessment is essential for ensuring the durability and integrity of masonry structures, preventing corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement and avoiding long-term material degradation.

This standard applies specifically to fresh mortars, providing a reliable test procedure to quantify chloride levels that are soluble in water. Accurate chloride measurement ensures compliance with construction quality and safety requirements, supporting sustainable building practices.

Key Topics

• Scope and Purpose
  The standard defines the analytical method to determine the concentration of water-soluble chlorides in freshly prepared mortar mixtures before application.

• Test Methodology
  It outlines detailed procedures for sample preparation, extraction, and analysis to ensure precise and repeatable chloride content measurements.

• Material Focus
  The standard is intended for mortar formulations used in masonry, including cement, lime, gypsum, or blended binders mixed with sand and water.

• Quality Control
  By applying this test, manufacturers and construction professionals can monitor mortar batches, avoid excessive chloride content, and assure compatibility with masonry substrates and reinforcement.

Applications

• Masonry Construction
  Ensuring that fresh mortar complies with chloride limits reduces the risk of steel corrosion in reinforced masonry, enhancing structural longevity.

• Material Certification
  Manufacturers use the standard method to certify mortar products meet regulatory chloride content requirements for safe and reliable use.

• Pre-Application Testing
  Construction sites and laboratories use this standard to perform on-site or lab testing of fresh mortars before their application in masonry works.

• Durability Assessments
  Helps in evaluating the potential corrosive effects of chloride ions in mortar, which is critical for maintenance and repair planning in infrastructure projects.

Related Standards

• EN 1015 Series
  Other parts of the EN 1015 standard cover diverse tests for masonry mortars such as consistency, compressive strength, and setting times, complementing chloride content determination.

• EN 206
  Concrete specifications often require chloride content testing per relevant parts of EN standards for admixtures and mix design which can relate to this mortar test method.

• ISO 9227
  Corrosion testing using salt spray methods which may be used alongside chloride content analysis to assess material resistance.

• EN 845
  Specifications for masonry components that may require mortar compliance verification including chemical content testing.

---

By implementing SIST EN 1015-17:2001/A1:2004, architects, engineers, and materials laboratories ensure that fresh mortars used in masonry conform to stringent quality standards for chloride content, promoting durability, safety, and performance in building construction.
