EN 197-1:2011 (E) 4
Foreword This document (EN 197-1:2011) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 51 “Cement and building limes”, the secretariat of which is held by NBN. 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2012, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2013. 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 supersedes EN 197-1:2000, EN 197-4:2004. 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 EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of EN 197-1. Annexes A and ZA are informative. In addition to consolidating EN 197-1:2000/A1:2004, EN 197-1:2000/prA2, EN 197-1:2000/A3:2007, EN 197-4:2004 and EN 197-4:2004/prA1 into a single standard, the principal changes from EN 197-1:2000 are the introduction of additional requirements for common cements with a low heat of hydration and common cements with sulfate resisting properties. The preparation of a standard for cement was initiated by the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1969 and, at the request of a member state later in 1973, the work was given to the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The Technical Committee CEN/TC 51 was entrusted with the task of preparing a cement standard for the countries of Western Europe, comprising the EEC and EFTA members. In the early eighties, CEN/TC 51 decided to include in the standard for cement only those cements which are intended for use in any plain and reinforced concrete and which are familiar in most countries in Western Europe because they have been produced and used in these countries for many years. The EU Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC) requires the incorporation of all traditional and well-tried cements in order to remove technical barriers to trade in the construction field. There are currently no criteria for the descriptions "traditional" and "well tried" and it was considered necessary to separate the “common cements” from special cements, i.e. those with additional or special properties. The requirements in this standard are based on the results of tests on cement in accordance with EN 196-1, EN 196-2, EN 196-3, EN 196-5, EN 196-6, EN 196-7, EN 196-8, and EN 196-9. The scheme for the evaluation of conformity of common cements including common cements with low heat of hydration and common cements generally accepted as being sulfate resisting are specified in EN 197-2. In order to find out which common cements are generally accepted as being sulfate resisting and should be included in EN 197-1, there was an investigation within CEN/TC 51 comprising all national specifications and recommendations in the European Union. The review of these investigations led to the following results:  a wide variety of cements has been classified in the EU Member States as sulfate resisting. This is due to the different geographical and climatic conditions under which sulfate attacks on mortar and concrete occur at the place of use and the traditionally different rules governing the production and use of sulfate resistant mortars and concretes;  sulfate resistance is an additional property and therefore sulfate resisting cements have first to conform to the requirements of the standards which define the product, e.g. EN 197-1 for common cements; SIST EN 197-1:2011



EN 197-1:2011 (E) 5  the additional requirements to be met by the nationally specified sulfate resisting cements refer to selected characteristics for which the required limit values are more stringent than those for common cements;
 having satisfied the local requirements for various cement types many countries apply further restrictions to the production of concrete to be used in a sulfate environment, such as minimum cement contents and/or maximum water/cement ratio that vary depending on the cement type and the type and intensity of the sulfate conditions. Based on the above results common cement types to be harmonized at the European level have been chosen. The predominant part of the common cements considered to be sulfate resisting in the market is covered by this selection. It was not possible to take into account national particularities the use of which is laid down within national standards, national application rules and regulations/provisions. The strength attained at 28 days is the important criterion in classifying cement for most uses. In order to achieve a specific strength class at 28 days the early strength, at 2 days or at 7 days, can vary and some types of cement may not attain the minimum early strengths specified in EN 197-1 for common cements. The heat of hydration is linked to the early reactivity and lower early strengths indicate lower heat evolution and lower temperatures in concrete. For these cements additional precautions in use can be necessary to ensure adequate curing and safety in construction. The purpose of this standard is to specify the composition requirements and conformity requirements for common cements, including common cements with low heat of hydration and common cements with adequate sulfate resistance as well as low early strength blast furnace cements and low early strength blast furnace cements with low heat of hydration. Cement types and strength classes defined in this European Standard allow the specifier and/or the user to fulfil objectives of sustainability for cement based constructions. Cement types produced by using constituents listed and defined in Clause 5 allow the manufacturer to minimize the use of natural resources in accordance with local conditions of production. 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, Croatia, 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 the United Kingdom.
SIST EN 197-1:2011



EN 197-1:2011 (E) 6 Introduction It is recognised that different cements have different properties and performance. Those performance tests now available (i.e. setting time, strength, soundness and heat of hydration), have been included in this standard. In addition, work is being carried out by CEN/TC 51 to identify any additional tests which are needed to specify further performance characteristics of cement. Until further performance tests are available it is necessary that the choice of cement, especially the type and/or strength class in relation to the requirements for durability depending on exposure class and type of construction in which it is incorporated, follows the appropriate standards and/or regulations for concrete or mortar valid in the place of use. SIST EN 197-1:2011



EN 197-1:2011 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard defines and gives the specifications of 27 distinct common cements, 7 sulfate resisting common cements as well as 3 distinct low early strength blast furnace cements and 2 sulfate resisting low early strength blast furnace cements and their constituents. The definition of each cement includes the proportions in which the constituents are to be combined to produce these distinct products in a range of nine strength classes. The definition also includes requirements which the constituents have to meet. It also includes mechanical, physical, and chemical requirements. Furthermore, this standard states the conformity criteria and the related rules. Necessary durability requirements are also given. In addition to those sulfate resisting cements defined in the present document, other cements conforming either to this standard or to other standards, European or national, have been nationally demonstrated to have sulfate resisting properties. These cements which are listed in Annex A, are considered by different CEN Member countries as sulfate resisting within the limits of their territory. NOTE 1 In addition to the specified requirements, an exchange of additional information between the cement manufacturer and user can be helpful. The procedures for such an exchange are not within the scope of this standard but should be dealt with in accordance with national standards or regulations or can be agreed between the parties concerned. NOTE 2 The word “cement” in EN 197-1 is used to refer only to common cements unless otherwise specified. This European Standard does not cover:  very low heat special cement covered by EN 14216;  supersulfated cement covered by EN 15743;  calcium aluminate cement covered by EN 14647;  masonry cement covered by EN 413-1. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

SIST EN 197-1:2011



EN 197-1:2011 (E) 10 Cement conforming to this standard, termed CEM cement, shall, when appropriately batched and mixed with aggregate and water, be capable of producing concrete or mortar which retains its workability for a sufficient time and shall after defined periods attain specified strength levels and also possess long-term volume stability. Hydraulic hardening of CEM cement is primarily due to the hydration of calcium silicates but other chemical compounds may also participate in the hardening process, e.g. aluminates. The sum of the proportions of reactive calcium oxide (CaO) and reactive silicon dioxide (SiO2) in CEM cement shall be at least 50 % by mass when the proportions are determined in accordance with EN 196-2. CEM cements consist of different materials and are statistically homogeneous in composition resulting from quality assured production and material handling processes. The link between these production and material handling processes and the conformity of cement to this standard is elaborated in EN 197-2. NOTE There are also cements whose hardening is mainly due to other compounds, e.g. calcium aluminate in calcium aluminate cement. 5 Constituents 5.1 General The requirements for the constituents specified in 5.2 to 5.5 shall be determined in principle in accordance with the test methods described in EN 196 unless otherwise specified. 5.2 Main constituents 5.2.1 Portland cement clinker (K) Portland cement clinker is made by sintering a precisely specified mixture of raw materials (raw meal, paste or slurry) containing elements, usually expressed as oxides, CaO, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3 and small quantities of other materials. The raw meal, paste or slurry is finely divided, intimately mixed and therefore homogeneous. Portland cement clinker is a hydraulic material which shall consist of at least two-thirds by mass of calcium silicates (3CaO ⋅ SiO2 and 2CaO ⋅ SiO2), the remainder consisting of aluminium and iron containing clinker phases and other compounds. The ratio by mass (CaO)/(SiO2) shall be not less than 2,0. The content of magnesium oxide (MgO) shall not exceed 5,0 % by mass. Portland cement clinker incorporated in sulfate resisting Portland cement (CEM I) and sulfate resisting pozzolanic cements (CEM IV) shall fulfil additional requirements for tricalcium aluminate content (C3A). The tricalcium aluminate content of the clinker shall be calculated by Equation (1) as follows: C3A = 2,65 A – 1,69 F (1) where A is the percentage of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) by mass of the clinker as determined in accordance with EN 196-2 F is the percentage of iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) by mass of the clinker as determined in accordance with EN 196-2. NOTE It may happen that a negative C3A value is obtained from the calculation. In this case, the value 0 % should be recorded. A test method to determine the C3A content of clinker from the analysis of a spot sample of cement is currently under development by CEN/TC 51. Until this method is available, the C3A content should be directly measured on the clinker. In the specific case of CEM I, it is permissible to calculate the C3A content of clinker from the chemical analysis of the cement. The minimum frequency of testing and the use of alternative methods for the direct or indirect evaluation of C3A should be included in the factory production control (see EN 197-2). A typical frequency of testing is two per month in routine situations. SIST EN 197-1:2011



EN 197-1:2011 (E) 11 Sulfate resisting Portland cements and sulfate resisting pozzolanic cements are made with Portland cement clinker in which the C3A content does not exceed:  For CEM I:
0 %, 3 % or 5 % as appropriate (see 6.2)  For CEM IV/A and CEM IV/B:
9 %. 5.2.2 Granulated blast furnace slag (S) Granulated blast furnace slag is made by rapid cooling of a slag melt of suitable composition, as obtained by smelting iron ore in a blast furnace and contains at least two-thirds by mass of glassy slag and possesses hydraulic properties when suitably activated. Granulated blast furnace slag shall consist of at least two-thirds by mass of the sum of calcium oxide (CaO), magnesium oxide (MgO) and silicon dioxide (SiO2). The remainder contains aluminium oxide (Al2O3) together with small amounts of other compounds. The ratio by mass (CaO + MgO)/(SiO2) shall exceed 1,0. 5.2.3 Pozzolanic materials (P, Q) 5.2.3.1 General Pozzolanic materials are natural substances of siliceous or silico-aluminous composition or a combination thereof. Although fly ash and silica fume have pozzolanic properties, they are specified in separate subclauses (see 5.2.4 and 5.2.7).

SIST EN 197-1 : 2011
Predgovor
Ta dokument (EN 197-1:2011) je pripravil tehnični odbor CEN/TC 51 Cement in gradbena apna,
katerega sekretariat vodi NBN.
Ta evropski standard mora dobiti status nacionalnega standarda bodisi z objavo istovetnega besedila
ali z razglasitvijo najpozneje do marca 2012, nasprotujoče nacionalne standarde pa je treba
razveljaviti najpozneje do junija 2013.
Opozoriti je treba na možnost, da so nekateri elementi tega dokumenta lahko predmet patentnih
pravic. CEN (in/ali CENELEC) ne prevzema odgovornosti za ugotavljanje katere koli ali vseh takšnih
pravic.
Ta evropski standard nadomešča EN 197-1:2000 in EN 197-4:2004.
Ta dokument je bil pripravljen na podlagi mandata, ki sta ga Evropska komisija ter Evropsko združenje
za prosto trgovino dala CEN, in upošteva bistvene zahteve direktiv(-e) ES ali EU.
Za zvezo z direktivo(-ami) EU glej informativni dodatek ZA, ki je sestavni del EN 197-1.
Dodatka A in ZA sta informativna.
Poleg združitve EN 197-1:2000/A1:2004, EN 197-1:2000/prA2, EN 197-1:2000/A3:2007, EN 197-
4:2004 in EN 197-4:2004/prA1 v en standard so glavne spremembe glede na EN 197-1:2000 v uvedbi
dodatnih zahtev za običajne cemente z nizko toploto hidratacije in uvedbi običajnih cementov s
sulfatnoodpornimi lastnostmi.
Pobudo za pripravo standarda za cement je dala leta 1969 Evropska gospodarska skupnost (EGS).
Na zahtevo ene od držav članic je bilo delo leta 1973 oddano Evropskemu komiteju za standardizacijo
(CEN). Izdelava standarda za cement za zahodnoevropske države, države EGS in EFTA je bila
zaupana tehničnemu odboru CEN/TC 51.
Zato je CEN/TC 51 v zgodnjih osemdesetih letih sklenil, da v standard vključi samo tiste cemente, ki
se uporabljajo za vsak nearmirani in armirani beton in jih pozna večina držav zahodne Evrope, ker jih
proizvajajo in uporabljajo že veliko let. Direktiva EU o gradbenih proizvodih (89/106/EGS) zahteva, da
se vključijo vsi tradicionalni in dobro preskušeni cementi, da se tako odstranijo tehnične ovire pri
trgovanju na področju gradbeništva. Ker še vedno ni bilo meril za opredelitev "tradicionalen" in "dobro
preskušen", se je pokazala potreba po ločitvi "običajnih cementov" od “posebnih cementov”, ki imajo
posebne ali dodatne lastnosti.
Zahteve v tem standardu temeljijo na rezultatih preskusov cementa, opravljenih v skladu z EN 196-1,
EN 196-2, EN 196-3, EN 196-5, EN 196-6, EN 196-7, EN 196-8 in EN 196-9. Shema za ovrednotenje
skladnosti običajnih cementov, vključno z običajnimi cementi z nizko toploto hidratacije in običajnimi
cementi, splošno sprejetimi kot sulfatno odporni, je predpisana v EN 197-2.
Z namenom ugotoviti, kateri običajni cementi so sprejeti kot sulfatno odporni in bi morali biti vključeni v
EN 197-1, je bila izvedena raziskava znotraj CEN/TC 51, ki je vključevala vse nacionalne specifikacije
in priporočila v Evropski uniji. Pregled teh raziskav je privedel do naslednjih rezultatov:
– raznolikost cementov v državah članicah EU, ki so klasificirani kot sulfatno odporni, je velika.
Vzrok so različne geografske in podnebne razmere, pri katerih pride do sulfatnega napada
(sulfatne agresije) na malto ali beton, ter tradicionalno različni predpisi pri vodenju proizvodnje in
uporabi sulfatnoodpornih malt in betonov;
– sulfatna odpornost je dodatna lastnost in zato mora sulfatnoodporni cement najprej ustrezati
zahtevam standardov, ki definirajo produkt, npr. EN 197-1 za običajne cemente;
– izpolnjene morajo biti dodatne zahteve, ki jih predpisujejo nacionalne zahteve za sulfatnoodporne
cemente in se nanašajo na izbrane lastnosti, za katere so zahteve za mejne vrednosti strožje
glede na običajne cemente;

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------

SIST EN 197-1 : 2011
– da se zadostijo lokalne zahteve za različne vrste cementov, so mnoge države dodale omejitve pri
proizvodnji betona, ki se uporablja v sulfatnem okolju, kot npr. najmanjša vsebnost cementa in/ali
največje dovoljeno razmerje voda-cement, ki je odvisno od vrste cementa ter od vrste in stopnje
sulfatnih pogojev.
Na podlagi zgoraj omenjenih rezultatov so bile izbrane vrste običajnih cementov, ki bodo
harmonizirane na evropski ravni. Prevladujoči del običajnih cementov, ki na trgu veljajo za sulfatno
odporne, je bil zajet s tem izborom. Upoštevati pa ni bilo mogoče nacionalnih posebnosti za uporabo,
ki se nanašajo na nacionalne standarde, pravila uporabe in regulativo/predpise.
Za večino namenov uporabe je pomembno merilo pri klasifikaciji cementa dosežena 28-dnevna
trdnost. Z namenom doseči določen trdnostni razred po 28 dneh lahko zgodnje trdnosti po 2 dneh ali
po 7 dneh variirajo in za nekatere vrste cementov je dovoljeno, da ne dosežejo najnižjih zgodnjih
trdnosti, določenih v EN 197-1 za običajne cementa.
Toplota hidratacije je povezana z začetno reaktivnostjo. Nizke zgodnje trdnosti razvijejo nizko toploto
hidratacije in prav tako nizke temperature v betonu. Za tovrstne cemente so potrebni dodatni ukrepi pri
uporabi, da se zagotovita ustrezna nega in varnost konstrukcije.
Namen tega standarda je predpisati zahteve za sestavo in skladnost za običajne cemente, vključno z
običajnimi cementi z nizko toploto hidratacije in običajnimi cementi s primerno sulfatno odpornostjo,
prav tako pa tudi za žlindrine cemente z nizko zgodnjo trdnostjo ter žlindrine cemente z nizko zgodnjo
trdnostjo in nizko toploto hidratacije.
Vrste cementov in trdnostni razredi, opredeljeni v tem evropskem standardu, omogočajo
predpisovalcu in/ali uporabniku izpolniti zahteve trajnosti cementnih konstrukcij. Vrste cementov s
sestavinami, navedenimi in opredeljenimi v točki 5, omogočajo proizvajalcem, da zmanjšajo uporabo
naravnih virov v skladu z lokalnimi pogoji proizvodnje.
Po določilih notranjih predpisov CEN/CENELEC so ta evropski standard dolžne privzeti nacionalne
organizacije za standarde naslednjih držav: Avstrije, Belgije, Bolgarije, Cipra, Češke republike,
Danske, Estonije, Finske, Francije, Grčije, Hrvaške, Irske, Islandije, Italije, Latvije, Litve, Luksemburga,
Madžarske, Malte, Nemčije, Nizozemske, Norveške, Poljske, Portugalske, Romunije, Slovaške,
Slovenije, Španije, Švedske, Švice in Združenega kraljestva.

SIST EN 197-1 : 2011
Uvod
Upoštevati je treba, da imajo različni cementi različne lastnosti in da se različno obnašajo v uporabi. V
ta standard so vključeni tisti preskusi obnašanja v uporabi, ki so že na voljo (npr. čas vezanja, trdnost,
prostorninska obstojnost in toplota hidratacije). CEN/TC 51 pripravlja še dodatne preskuse, ki so
potrebni za predpisovanje obnašanja cementa v uporabi. Dokler le-ti niso na voljo, mora biti izbira
cementa, posebej njegove vrste in/ali trdnostnega razreda v zvezi z zahtevami za trajnost, ki so
odvisne od stopnje izpostavljenosti in vrste konstrukcije, v katero se cement vgrajuje, v skladu z
ustreznimi standardi in/ali predpisi za beton ali malto, ki veljajo v kraju uporabe.

SIST EN 197-1 : 2011
1 Obseg in področje uporabe
Ta evropski standard določa in postavlja zahteve za 27 različnih običajnih cementov, 7 sulfatnoodpornih
običajnih cementov, prav tako pa tudi za 3 različne žlindrine cemente z nizko zgodnjo trdnostjo in
2 žlindrina sulfatnoodporna cementa z nizko zgodnjo trdnostjo ter njihove sestavine. Definicija
vsakega cementa vključuje deleže, v katerih je treba sestavine mešati, da bi se proizvedli ti različni
proizvodi, ki obsegajo devet trdnostnih razredov. Definicija vključuje tudi zahteve, katerim morajo
ustrezati sestavine. Vključuje tudi mehanske, fizikalne in kemijske zahteve. Nadalje ta standard določa
tudi merila skladnosti in s tem povezana pravila. Podane so tudi potrebne zahteve za trajnost.
Poleg sulfatnoodpornih cementov, opredeljenih v tem dokumentu, so kot odporni proti sulfatni agresiji
potrjeni na nacionalni ravni še drugi cementi, ki so skladni bodisi s tem standardom ali z drugimi
standardi, evropskimi ali nacionalnimi. Cementi, navedeni v dodatku A, so po mnenju predstavnikov
CEN iz različnih držav sulfatno odporni z omejitvami glede na mesto uporabe.
OPOMBA 1: Poleg predpisanih zahtev je pomembna tudi izmenjava dodatnih informacij med proizvajalcem cementa in
uporabnikom. Postopki za takšno izmenjavo v tem standardu niso obravnavani, temveč naj bi bili obravnavani
skladno z nacionalnimi standardi ali predpisi, lahko pa se zanje dogovorita zainteresirani stranki.
OPOMBA 2: Beseda “cement” se v EN 197-1 uporablja samo v zvezi z običajnimi cementi, če ni določeno drugače.
Ta standard ne vključuje:
– specialnih cementov z zelo nizko toploto hidratacije, ki so vključeni v EN 14216,
– supersulfatnih cementov, vključenih v EN 15743,
– kalcijevega aluminatnega cementa, vključenega v EN 14647,
– zidarskega cementa, vključenega v EN 413-1.

Foreword
This document (prEN 197-1:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 51 “Cement and building
limes”, the secretariat of which is held by NBN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 197-1:2000.
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.
Annexes A and B are informative.
The preparation of a standard for cement was initiated by the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1969 and, at the
request of a member state later in 1973, the work was given to the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN). The
Technical Committee TC 51 was entrusted with the task of preparing a cement standard for the countries of Western
Europe, comprising the EEC and EFTA members.
A first enquiry initiated by CEN/TC 51 in the mid-seventies identified at that time nearly 20 different kinds of cement,
which had all been standardised on a national basis and which had proved satisfactory in common or special fields of
application under local conditions. The evaluation of the enquiry showed that different sources of raw materials, different
climatic conditions and different social/cultural attitudes have established a typical architecture with different building
techniques in the different regions of Western Europe which led to the great variety of kinds of cement. The same or
similar cement may be used in very different structures with different types of application and with substantially different
requirements regarding its performance under the respective climatic conditions.
When CEN/TC 51 became aware of this situation, it decided in the early eighties to include in the standard for cement
only those cements which are intended for use in any plain and reinforced concrete and which are familiar in most
countries in Western Europe because they have been produced and used in these countries for many years. The view
of CEN/TC 51 was then that the more regional cements should continue to be standardised at the national level. The
1989 draft for the standard for cement followed this approach, but did not achieve the majority necessary for acceptance
because a few countries wanted to incorporate all their nationally standardised cements and because the EU
Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC) requires the incorporation of all traditional and well tried cements in order
to remove technical barriers to trade in the construction field.
There are as yet no criteria for the descriptions "traditional" and "well tried". A second enquiry initiated by CEN/TC 51 in
1990 revealed a further 50 cements standardised nationally. It became obvious that some of the cements described as
traditional by the respective national standardisation bodies have been produced and used for decades so that their
durability performance has been proved in practice. In contrast, there are some cements, also regarded as traditional
and well tried which have been produced only for a few years and have been standardised nationally for only one or two
years.
In view of the large number of different cements involved, it was considered necessary to separate the “common
cements” from special cements i.e. those with additional or special properties. The purpose of EN 197-1 is to specify the
composition, requirements and conformity criteria for the common cements. This includes all common cements and
common cements generally accepted as being sulfate resisting which are described by the respective national
standardisation bodies within CEN as traditional and well tried. Types based on composition and a classification based
on strength have been introduced in order to take into account the different cements included. The hardening of these
cements mainly depends on the hydration of calcium silicates. Common cements with special properties as well as
cements with different hardening processes will be included in further parts of this European Standard or in further
European Standards respectively.

prEN 197-1:2009 (E)
The requirements in EN 197-1 are based on the results of tests on cement in accordance with EN 196-1, -2, -3, -5, -6, -
7 -8, and -9. The scheme for the evaluation of conformity of common cements including common cements with low heat
of hydration and common cements generally accepted as being sulfate resisting are specified in EN 197-2.
In order to find out which common cements are generally accepted as being sulfate resisting and should be taken into
account in EN 197-1, there was an investigation within CEN/TC 51 comprising all national specifications and
recommendations in the European Union. The review of these investigations led to the following results:
 A wide variety of cements have been classified in the EU Member States as sulfate resisting. This is due to the
different geographical and climatic conditions under which sulfate attacks on mortar and concrete occur at the
place of use and the traditionally different rules governing the production and use of sulfate resistant mortars and
concretes;

 sulfate resistance is an additional property and therefore sulfate resisting cements have first to conform to the
requirements of the standards which define the product, e. g. EN 197-1 for common cements;

 the additional requirements to be met by the nationally specified sulfate resisting cements refer to selected
characteristics for which the required limit values are more stringent than those for common cements;

 having satisfied the local requirements for various cement types many countries apply further restrictions to the
production of concrete to be used in a sulfate environment, such as minimum cement contents and/or maximum
water/cement ratio that vary depending on the cement type and the type and intensity of the sulfate conditions.
Based on the above results common cement types to be harmonized at the European level have been chosen. Most of
the common cements on the market which are generally accepted as being sulfate resisting are covered by this
selection. It was not possible to take into account national particularities the use of which is laid down within national
standards, national application rules and regulations/provisions.
The strength attained at 28 days is the important criterion in classifying cement for most uses. In order to achieve a
specific strength class at 28 days the early strength, at 2 days or at 7 days, can vary and some types of cement may not
attain the minimum early strengths specified in EN 197-1 for common cements. The heat of hydration is linked to the
early reactivity and lower early strengths indicate lower heat evolution and lower temperatures in concrete. For these
cements additional precautions in use can be necessary to ensure adequate curing and safety in construction. The
purpose of this EN 197-1 is to specify the composition requirements and conformity requirements for common cements,
including common cements with low heat of hydration and common cements with adequate sulfate resistance as well as
low early strength blastfurnace cements and low early strength blastfurnace cements with low heat of hydration.
Introduction
It is recognised that different cements have different properties and performance. Those performance tests now
available (i.e. setting time, strength and soundness and heat of hydration), have been included in EN 197-1. In addition,
work is being carried out by CEN/TC 51 to identify any additional tests which are needed to specify further performance
characteristics of cement. Until further performance tests are available it is necessary that the choice of cement,
especially the type and/or strength class in relation to the requirements for durability depending on exposure class and
type of construction in which it is incorporated, follows the appropriate standards and/or regulations for concrete or
mortar valid in the place of use.
1 Scope
EN 197-1 defines and gives the specifications of 27 distinct common cements, 7 sulfate resisting common cements as
well as 3 distinct low early strength blastfurnace cements and 2 sulfate resisting low early strength blastfurnace cements
and their constituents. The definition of each cement includes the proportions in which the constituents are to be
combined to produce these distinct products in a range of nine strength classes. The definition also includes
requirements which the constituents have to meet. It also includes mechanical, physical, and chemical requirements.
Furthermore EN 197-1 states the conformity criteria and the related rules. Necessary durability requirements are also
given.

In addition to those sulfate resisting cements defined in the present document, other cements conforming either to
EN 197-1 or to other standards, European or national, have been nationally demonstrated to have sulfate resisting
properties. These cements which are listed in Annex B, are considered by different CEN Member countries as sulfate
resisting within the limits of their territory.
NOTE 1 In addition to the specified requirements, an exchange of additional information between the cement manufacturer and
user can be helpful. The procedures for such an exchange are not within the scope of EN 197-1 but should be dealt with in
accordance with national standards or regulations or can be agreed between the parties concerned.
NOTE 2 The word “cement” in EN 197-1 is used to refer only to common cements unless otherwise specified.

4 Cement
Cement is a hydraulic binder, i.e. a finely ground inorganic material which, when mixed with water, forms a paste which
sets and hardens by means of hydration reactions and processes and which, after hardening, retains its strength and
stability even under water.
Cement conforming to EN 197-1, termed CEM cement, shall, when appropriately batched and mixed with aggregate
and water, be capable of producing concrete or mortar which retains its workability for a sufficient time and shall after
defined periods attain specified strength levels and also possess long-term volume stability.
Hydraulic hardening of CEM cement is primarily due to the hydration of calcium silicates but other chemical compounds
may also participate in the hardening process, e.g. aluminates. The sum of the proportions of reactive calcium oxide
(CaO) and reactive silicon dioxide (SiO ) in CEM cement shall be at least 50 % by mass when the proportions are
2
determined in accordance with EN 196-2.
CEM cements consist of different materials and are statistically homogeneous in composition resulting from quality
assured production and material handling processes. The link between these production and material handling
processes and the conformity of cement to EN 197-1 is elaborated in EN 197-2.
NOTE There are also cements whose hardening is mainly due to other compounds, e.g. calcium aluminate in calcium aluminate
cement.
