Foreword
This document (EN 934-5:2007) 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text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the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 July 2009.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EC Directive(s).
For relationship with EC Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
This European Standard is a part of the series EN 934 Admixtures for concrete, mortar and grout which is
comprised of the following parts:
1)
Part 1: Common requirements
Part 2: Concrete admixtures — Definitions, requirements, conformity, marking and labelling
Part 3: Admixtures for masonry mortar — Definitions, requirements, conformity, marking and labelling
Part 4: Admixtures for grout for prestressing tendons — Definitions, requirements, conformity, marking and
      labelling
Part 5: Admixtures for sprayed concrete — Definitions, requirements, conformity, marking and labelling
Part 6: Sampling, conformity control and evaluation of conformity.
This European Standard is used with the standards of the series EN 480 which comprises test methods for
admixtures.
Subject to the provisions in EN 14487-1, Sprayed concrete – Part 1: Definitions, specifications and conformity
admixtures covered by EN 934-2 may also be considered for the use in sprayed concrete.
A previous draft of EN 934-5 had been submitted to Formal Vote in 2004 and had formally passed the vote by
majority of CEN-members in 2005. Together with this vote, however, some members presented severe
technical comments which were agreed upon by the relevant CEN/TC 104/SC 3 to be taken into account by
an amendment. In order to avoid the need of using two separate papers in practice, CEN/TC 104 decided,
however, not to publish the agreed document but to submit a further consolidated version including the
amended issues to UAP, which finally should be published.
The amendments to the final draft prEN 934-5:2004-11 are the following:
- Table 1: requirements in line 5 (Conventional dry material content), 7 (Total chlorine) and 8 (Water soluble
chloride);

B.4 Consistence
Testing shall be carried out under standard laboratory conditions of (20 + 2) °C. The concrete shall be covered
with a plastic sheet to prevent evaporation during the standing period. The initial consistence of the reference
concrete shall be slump (180 mm to 230 mm) or flow (480 mm to 550 mm). This shall apply to both the test
and control mixes. The test mix only, shall be re-tested 6 h after mixing and shall have a consistence ≥ 80 %
of the initial consistence of the test mix.

EN 934-5:2007 (E)
B.5 Compressive strength
Following the test for consistence, 6 h after adding the consistence control admixture, the test mix is returned
to the mixer. After 60 s mixing the mixer is stopped and the concrete is placed in the compressive strength
moulds. The concrete is cured in the moulds under standard laboratory conditions according to EN 12390-2
until it has fully set. It is then de-moulded and curing continued under standard laboratory conditions until the
age when it is to be tested for compressive strength.
A control mix at equal consistence (see B.4) is prepared at the same time as the test mix and placed in the
compressive strength moulds immediately after mixing. The concrete is cured under normal laboratory
conditions and tested for compressive strength at 28 days.
B.6 Test report
The test report shall include at least the following information:
Cement:
 manufacturer and factory;
 type;
 class of strength in accordance with EN 197-1;
Consistence control admixture:
 manufacturer;
 type;
 dosage;
 individual and average results of slump or flow rounded to 5 mm;
 individual and average results of compressive strength tests for control and test mixes.
