(Main)Specification for mortar for masonry - Part 1: Rendering and plastering mortar
Specification for mortar for masonry - Part 1: Rendering and plastering mortar
This EN is applicable to mortar for external rendering and internal plastering. It contains definitions, application properties and final performance requirements. It does not cover mortars where calcium-sulphate binder is the principle active binding agent. Calciumsulphate binder can be used as an additional binder together with air lime. If air lime is the principle active binding component, the rendering/plastering mortar is covered by this standard.
Festlegungen für Mörtel im Mauerwerksbau - Teil 1: Putzmörtel
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für im Werk hergestellten Putzmörtel aus anorganischen Bindemitteln, die als Außenputz und als Innenputz für Wände, Decken, Pfeiler und Trennwände verwendet werden. Sie enthält Definitionen und Leistungsanforderungen.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für Mörtel, deren Hauptbindemittel Gips ist.
Gips kann als zusätzliches Bindemittel mit Luftkalk verwendet werden. Wenn Luftkalk das aktive Grundbindemittel ist, ist der Putzmörtel durch diese Norm erfasst. Wenn Gips das aktive Grundbindemittel ist, wird der Mörtel durch EN 13279 abgedeckt. Die Klassifizierung ist vom Hersteller des Putzmörtels vorzunehmen.
Brandschutzmörtel und Akustikputzmörtel, Mörtel zur Instandhaltung und zur Oberflächenbehandlung von Bauteilen wie Ausgleichsmassen, Anstriche, Beschichtungen, organische Putze, die in dünnen Schichten aufgetragen werden, und vorgefertigte Elemente (z. B. Gipskartonplatten) sind nicht Gegenstand dieser Norm.
Diese Norm gilt für Putzmörtel nach Abschnitt 3 mit Ausnahme von Baustellenmörtel. Diese Norm oder Teile dieser Norm können jedoch in Zusammenhang mit Anwendungsvorschriften und nationalen Normen auch für Baustellenmörtel angewendet werden.
Définitions et spécifications des mortiers pour maçonnerie - Partie 1 : Mortiers d'enduits minéraux extérieurs et intérieurs
La présente norme européenne est applicable aux mortiers industriels d'enduits extérieurs et intérieurs a base de liants minéraux utilisés sur les murs, plafonds, poteaux et cloisons. Elle contient des définitions et des spécifications de performances finales.
Elle ne concerne pas les mortiers dans lesquels le sulfate de calcium est le principal liant actif.
Le sulfate de calcium peut etre utilisé en complément de la chaux aérienne. Si le liant actif est principalement composé de chaux aérienne, le mortier d'enduit fait l'objet de la présente norme. Si le liant actif est principalement composé de sulfate de calcium, le mortier fait l'objet de l'EN 13279. La classification est effectuée par le fabricant du mortier.
Les mortiers résistant au feu, les mortiers acoustiques, les mortiers de réparation de béton et les produits de traitement de surface d'éléments de construction tels que les produits de ragréage et lissage, peintures ou revetements assimilés, enduits organiques en couche mince et les composants préfabriqués (tels que les plaques de parement en plâtre) ne sont pas visés par cette norme.

Introduction
The properties of rendering and plastering mortars depend essentially on the type or types of binders
used and their respective proportions. Special properties can be achieved by the type of aggregates,
admixtures and/or additions used.
Rendering/plastering mortars are defined
according to the concept as either:
designed mortars; or
prescribed mortars.
according to the mode of manufacture as either:
factory-made mortars;
semi-finished factory mortars; or
site-made mortars.
according to the properties and/or use, as either:
general purpose rendering/plastering mortar;
lightweight rendering/plastering mortar;
coloured rendering mortar;
one-coat rendering mortar;
renovation rendering/plastering mortar;
thermal rendering/plastering insulating mortar.
Rendering/plastering mortars do not attain their final characteristics until properly hardened after
application. The functions performed by a rendering/plastering mortar depend on the properties of the
type of materials used, on the thickness of the coats and the type of application. In addition,
rendering/plastering mortars determine the surface of the construction.
Regional differences in construction practices and climate, and different constituents for
rendering/plastering mortars do not allow for the establishment of standard mix proportions for
prescribed mortar that would be applicable in all of Europe. Therefore the specification of such mix
proportions (recipes) and fields of application should be based on practice and experience available in
the place of use.

1 Scope
This European Standard is applicable to factory made rendering/plastering mortar based on inorganic
binders for external (rendering) and internal (plastering) use on walls, ceilings, columns and partitions.
It contains definitions and final performance requirements.
It does not cover mortars where calcium sulphate binder is the principle active binding agent.
Calcium sulphate binder can be used as an additional binder together with air lime. If air lime is the
principle active binding component, the rendering/plastering mortar is covered by this standard. If the
calcium sulphate binder is the principle active binding component, the mortar is covered by EN 13279.
The classification is carried out by the producer of the mortar.
Special fire resistant- and acoustical mortars, mortars for structural repair and surface treatments of
building elements such as materials for smoothing or trueing, paints, coatings, thin-layer organic
renders/plasters and prefabricated units (e.g. plaster boards) are not dealt with in this standard.
This standard covers rendering/plastering mortars defined in clause 3 with the exception of site made
rendering/plastering mortars. However, this standard or part of this standard may be used in
conjunction with codes of application and national specifications covering site made mortars.

EN 998-1:2003 (E)
5.2 Properties of hardened mortars
5.2.1 General
Different fields of use and exposure conditions require mortars with different properties and
performance levels. For this purpose, compressive strength, water absorption and thermal
conductivity shall be classified according to Table 1. The properties relevant to the intended use
and/or type of product shall be declared according to Table 2. The declared values and/or classes
shall meet the requirements specified in Table 2 .
When relevant for the use for which the rendering/plastering mortar is placed on the market,
additional properties to those specified in Table 2 may be declared for each type of mortar where a
dash indicates 'no requirement’.
The declaration for reaction to fire and durability of mortars shall be made in accordance with the
following provisions:
5.2.2 Reaction to fire
Rendering/plastering mortars containing a mass or volume fraction of 1,0 % (whichever is the most
onerous) of homogeneously distributed organic materials are classified as reaction to fire Class A1
without the need to test.
Rendering/plastering mortars containing a mass or volume fraction of > 1,0 % (whichever is the most
onerous) of homogeneously distributed organic materials shall be classified in accordance with EN
13501-1 and the appropriate reaction to fire class declared.
NOTE Attention is drawn to the Commission Decision 96/603/EC, as amended, in which non-combustible
mortar containing not more than a mass or volume fraction of 1,0 % (whichever is the more onerous) of
homogeneously distributed organic materials are classified as reaction to fire Class A 1 without testing.
5.2.3 Durability
5.2.3.1 One-coat rendering mortar
The durability against freeze/thaw of one-coat rendering mortar shall be assessed by testing adhesion
and water permeability after weathering cycles (see Table 2, L4 and L7).
5.2.3.2 All rendering mortars except one-coat
Until a European method of test is available, the freeze-thaw resistance shall be evaluated and
declared to the provisions valid in the intended place of use of the mortar.
