EN 445:2007 (E) 3 Foreword This European Standard (EN 445:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 104 “Concrete and related products”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2008. This document supersedes EN 445:1996. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.



EN 445:2007 (E) 4 Introduction In post-tensioned prestressed concrete construction, the grouting of tendons is an important operation. The intention of this European Standard is to provide a specification for grouting, compliance with which will satisfy the requirements in prEN 13670. The testing regimes anticipated by this European Standard include three levels: (1) Initial type and audit testing in accordance with EN 447; (2) Suitability testing for confirmation of the selected grout for a specific project in accordance with EN 446; (3) Inspection during the production of grout on a specific project in accordance with EN 446. The test methods for each of the regimes are given in this standard. Some tests given herein are alternatives and it will be necessary to relate the chosen test method to the specified requirements. The tests are reference tests for checking suitability of grout for use with any type of tensile steel element.

3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1
grout homogeneous mixture of cement and water, it may contain admixtures and additions 4 The testing of grout 4.1 General
4.1.1 Personnel The grouts shall be tested by competent personnel experienced in the subject.
4.1.2 Test conditions Testing shall be carried out at specified temperatures. The grout for the tests shall be made from materials specified in EN 447 and mixed in accordance with EN 447. NOTE EN 446 requires suitability testing to be carried out using the same type of mixing equipment as is used for the actual site operations, hence it is preferable to also use the same type of equipment for all testing. 4.1.3 Test reports All test reports shall include the following information as a minimum: a) reference to this European Standard; b) name and address of the testing laboratory; c) identification number of the test report; d) name and address of the organisation or person who ordered the test;



EN 445:2007 (E) 6 e) name and address of the manufacturer or supplier of the product(s); f) name or other identification mark of the product; g) date of fabrication, and if relevant, supply of the product; h) date of manufacture of test specimens; i) date of test; j) temperature of the fresh grout and ambient temperature; k) batching and mixing procedures used; l) specification of the grout mixer used; m) identification of test equipment used, including where appropriate, calibration details; n) individual results for the required test; o) any inaccuracies or uncertainty of test results; p) date and signature of the person responsible for the tests. 4.2 Sieve test 4.2.1 Principle of test The test consists of pouring a quantity of grout through a sieve to check for the absence of lumps on the sieve 4.2.2 Apparatus A 150 mm diameter sieve with an aperture ≤ 2 mm. 4.2.3 Procedure Pour a minimum of 1 l of freshly mixed grout through the sieve.
