Masonry cement - Part 2: Test methods

This draft European Standard describes reference and alternative test methods to be used when testing masonry cements to assess their conformity to EN 413 1. It gives the tests on fresh mortar for consistence, water retention and air content.
In the event of a dispute, only the reference methods are used.

Putz- und Mauerbinder - Teil 2: Prüfverfahren

Dieser Europäische Norm-Entwurf beschreibt Referenz- und Alternativprüfverfahren, die für die Prüfung von Putz- und Mauerbinder anzuwenden sind, um ihre Übereinstimmung mit EN 413-1 zu bewerten. Er enthält die Prüfverfahren für die Konsistenz, das Wasserrückhaltevermögen und den Luftgehalt von Frischmörtel.
Im Streitfall sind ausschließlich die Referenzverfahren anzuwenden.

Ciment à maçonner - Partie 2 : Méthodes d'essai

La présente Norme européenne décrit les méthodes d’essai de référence ou les variantes pour les ciments à maçonner, qui doivent être utilisées pour évaluer leur conformité à l’EN 413-1. Elle indique les méthodes d’essai sur mortier frais pour la consistance, la rétention d’eau et la teneur en air.
En cas de litige, seules les méthodes de référence sont utilisées.

Zidarski cement - 2. del: Preskusne metode

Ta osnutek evropskega standarda opisuje referenčne in alternativne metode, ki se uporabljajo pri preizkušanju zidarskih cementov za ugotavljanje njihove skladnosti s standardom EN 413 1. Navaja preizkuse na sveži malti za gostoto, zadrževanje vode in vsebnost zraka.
V primeru spora se uporabijo le referenčne metode.

Overview

EN 413-2:2016 - Masonry cement - Part 2: Test methods (CEN) specifies the standardized laboratory methods for testing masonry cements to assess conformity with EN 413‑1. It focuses on tests on fresh mortar: consistence, water retention and air content. The standard defines both reference and alternative methods (reference methods take precedence in disputes) and includes environmental and equipment tolerances to ensure repeatable results.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: Test methods for fresh mortar made with masonry cement to verify conformity with EN 413‑1.
• Laboratory conditions: Typical testing environment at (20 ± 2) °C and relative humidity ≥ 50 %. Some tests (setting time Method B) require (20 ± 1) °C and ≥ 90 % RH.
• Setting time:
  • Two options: Method A (EN 196‑3) or Method B (reference) using a Vicat apparatus.
  • Initial setting reported when Vicat needle distance = (6 ± 3) mm (to nearest 5 min). Final setting when penetration is 0.5 mm (to nearest 15 min).
  • Precision: repeatability SD - initial 4 min, final 7 min; reproducibility SD - initial 20 min, final 24 min.
• Consistence (fresh mortar):
  • Reference method: plunger apparatus (mass of plunger/rod (90 ± 2) g; initial plunger position 100 ± 0.5 mm above mortar).
  • Alternative method: flow table test - acceptable only when an equivalent flow spread to the plunger penetration is established for the masonry cement under test.
• Water retention:
  • Procedure and apparatus defined; guidance updated for gauze properties used in the test. Precision data revised following inter-laboratory studies.
• Air content:
  • Reference: pressure method (detailed principle, calibration and procedure).
  • Alternative: alcohol method.
• General measurement controls: manufacturing and in-use tolerances for test equipment, number of tests (single test for statistical series; two tests otherwise).

Applications and users

EN 413-2 is used by:

• Cement and mortar manufacturers for product development and factory quality control.
• Independent testing laboratories performing conformity checks against EN 413‑1.
• Construction quality assurance teams and specifiers verifying material performance for bedding, rendering and plastering.
• Regulatory bodies and certification schemes that require standardized test evidence.

Practical benefits include consistent assessment of fresh-mortar performance (workability, water retention and entrained air), better comparability between labs, and defensible test results in procurement and compliance contexts.
