EN 16622:2015 (E) 5 Introduction Silica-calcium fume (SCF) according to this European Standard is a special type of silica fume containing some calcium. It is collected by filters as a by-product of the carbothermal process to produce silica-calcium alloys. It is only supplied as a densified product. SCF from more than one furnace, filter or intermediate storage silo will normally be blended in the production plant. Many years of practical experience, especially in France, have demonstrated that SCF which satisfies the requirements in this European Standard has both hydraulic and pozzolanic properties, and may be used to produce concrete with improved properties in both the fresh and hardened states. SCF is normally used in combination with a plasticizer and/or superplasticizer. This European Standard is based on EN 13263-1 “Silica fume for concrete - Part 1: Definitions, requirements and conformity criteria”, with similar structure and requirements. The differences in the material properties is taken into account, for instance that silica-calcium fume is partly hydraulic unlike silica fume. When it comes to conformity, this European Standard refers to EN 13263-2 “Silica fume for concrete - Part 2: Conformity evaluation”. SIST EN 16622:2016



EN 16622:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard applies to the silica-calcium fume (SCF) which is a by-product of the carbothermal process used to produce silica-calcium alloys. This European Standard gives requirements for chemical and physical properties for SCF to be used as a type II addition in concrete conforming to EN 206, or in mortars, grouts and other mixes. This European Standard also states conformity criteria and related rules. This European Standard does not give rules for the use of SCF in concrete. Some general rules for the use of type II additions are given in EN 206. NOTE Supplementary rules related to the use of SCF in concrete may be given in non-conflicting national standards for concrete. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

EN 16622:2015 (E) 10 5 Product characteristics 5.1 General The chemical and physical requirements in 5.2 and 5.3 are specified as characteristic values. Compliance with a specified characteristic value is assessed by means of a statistical control procedure as described in Clause 8. The test methods prescribed in this European Standard are reference methods. In factory production control other methods may be used provided they give results equivalent to those obtained with the reference method. In case of dispute, only the reference method shall be used. 5.2 Chemical requirements 5.2.1 Silicon dioxide The content of silicon dioxide, SiO2, as determined by the method described as reference method in EN 196-2 shall not be less than 70 % by mass and shall be declared. NOTE In the 2013 edition of EN 196–2, the reference method is described in 4.5.3. 5.2.2 Elemental silicon The content of elemental silicon, determined according to ISO 9286, shall not be greater than 0,5 % by mass. 5.2.3 Total calcium oxide The total calcium oxide content, as determined by the reference method described in EN 196-2, shall be in the range of 10 % to 20 % by mass. 5.2.4 Free calcium oxide The content of free calcium oxide, free CaO, as determined by the method described in EN 451-1, shall not be greater than 1,0 % by mass. 5.2.5 Sulfate The sulfate content, as determined by the method described in EN 196-2 and expressed as SO3, shall not be greater than 2,0 % by mass. 5.2.6 Total content of alkalis The total content of alkalis determined by the method described in EN 196-2 and calculated as “Na2O equivalent” shall be declared. NOTE Different national provisions adopt different principles but in general only a small proportion of alkalis in the components of the concrete including silica-calcium fume are considered to contribute to alkali silica reaction, see CEN/TR 16349. Normally silica fumes are considered to reduce the risk of alkali aggregate reactions, see 5.3 in CEN/TR 16349:2012. 5.2.7 Chloride The content of chloride, calculated as Cl– and determined in accordance with the method described in EN 196-2, shall not be greater than 0,30 % by mass. If the Cl– content is above 0,10 % by mass, the upper limit for its characteristic value shall be declared by the manufacturer. SIST EN 16622:2016

NOTE The loss on ignition is dominated by free carbon. There is also some carbonate coming from the unburnt limestone used in the process. 5.3 Physical requirements 5.3.1 Specific surface The specific surface, as determined by nitrogen adsorption according to the method given in ISO 9277, shall not be less than 12 m2/g, and shall be declared. 5.3.2 Activity index The activity index is determined as the ratio (in percent) of the compressive strength of standard mortar bars, prepared with 90 % test cement plus 10 % SCF per mass of total binder, to the compressive strength of standard mortar bars prepared with 100 % test cement, when tested at the same age. The test cement shall be a selected brand of Portland cement of type CEM I, strength class 42,5 N or higher, conforming to EN 197-1 to be used for carrying out the tests needed to evaluate conformity to the requirement of 5.3.2 in this European Standard. Test cement is selected by the SCF manufacturer and is further characterized by its fineness and contents of tricalcium aluminate and alkalis as follows: — fineness: 300 m2/kg to 400 m2/kg when determined in accordance with EN 196-6; — tricalcium aluminate: 8 % to 12 % when determined in accordance with EN 196-2; — Alkalis (Na2O eqv): 0,6 % to 1,2 % when determined in accordance with EN 196-2. Preparation of standard mortar bars and determination of the compressive strength shall be carried out in accordance with the method described in EN 196-1. The mortar containing SCF shall be mixed with an amount of superplasticizer (conforming to EN 934-2) so that the mortar has a consistency equivalent to the reference mortar when tested by the flow table method given in EN 413-2. The activity index shall be at least 95 % when tested at a mortar age of 28 days. NOTE 1 The result of the activity index tests gives no direct information on the strength contribution of SCF in concrete, nor is the use of SCF limited to mixing ratio used in these tests. NOTE 2 In the 2005 edition of EN 413–2, the flow table method is described in 5.3. 5.3.3 Particle density The density shall be determined in accordance with EN 1097-7 and shall be declared. 6 Assessment and verification of constancy of performance – AVCP 6.1 General The compliance of silica-calcium fume for concrete (SCF) with the requirements of this European Standard and with the performances declared by the manufacturer in the Declaration of Performance (DoP) shall be demonstrated by: SIST EN 16622:2016



EN 16622:2015 (E) 12 — determination of the product type; — factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment. The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary means to take responsibility for the conformity of the product with its declared performances. NOTE The assignment of tasks to the notified body(ies) and the manufacturer is shown in Annex ZA, Table ZA.3. 6.2 Type testing 6.2.1 General All performances related to characteristics included in this European Standard shall be determined when the manufacturer intends to declare the respective performances. Assessment previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this European Standard, may be taken into account provided that they were made to the same or a more rigorous test method, under the same AVCP system on the same product or products of similar design, construction and functionality, such that the results are applicable to the product in question. NOTE 1 Same AVCP system means testing by an independent third party, under the responsibility of a notified product certification body. For the purposes of assessment, the manufacturer's products may be grouped into families, where it is considered that the results for one or more characteristics from any one product within the family are representative for that same characteristics for all products within that same family. NOTE 2 Products may be grouped in different families for different characteristics. Reference to the assessment method standards should be made to allow the selection of a suitable representative sample. In addition, the determination of the product type shall be performed for all characteristics included in the standard for which the manufacturer declares the performance — at the beginning of the production of a new or modified SCF (unless a member of the same product range); or — at the beginning of a new or modified method of production (where this may affect the stated properties); or — they shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s), whenever a change occurs in the SCF design, in the raw material or in the supplier of the components, or in the method of production (subject to the definition of a family), which would affect significantly one or more of the characteristics. Where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component manufacturer, on the basis of assessment methods of other product standards, these characteristics need not be re-assessed. The specifications of these components shall be documented. Products bearing regulatory marking in accordance with appropriate harmonized European specifications may be presumed to have the performances declared in the DoP, although this does not replace the responsibility on the SCF manufacturer to ensure that the SCF as a whole is correctly manufactured and its component products have the declared performance values.
