EN 197-4:2004 (E)3ForewordThis document (EN 197-4:2004) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 51 “Cement and building limes”,the secretariat of which is held by IBN.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or byendorsement, at the latest by October 2004, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October2004.This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European FreeTrade Association,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 this document.Annex A is informative.This document includes a Bibliography.The various stages in the development of a European Standard for common cement, in response to the preliminaryMandate given to CEN by the EC and the EFTA, are described in EN 197-1. It is indicated that, in view of the largenumbers of different cements involved, it was considered necessary to separate the "common cements", which are nowcovered by EN 197-1, from special cements i.e. those with additional or special properties or those having hardeningprocesses not mainly dependent on the hydration of calcium silicates.The strength attained at 28 days is the important criterion in classifying cement for most uses. In order to achieve aspecific strength class at 28 days the early strength, at 2 days or at 7 days, can vary and some types of cement may notattain the minimum early strengths specified in EN 197-1 for common cements. The heat of hydration is linked to the earlyreactivity and lower early strengths indicate lower heat evolution and lower temperatures in concrete. For these cementsadditional precautions in use can be necessary to ensure adequate curing and safety in construction. The purpose of thisEN 197-4 is to specify the composition requirements and conformity requirements for low early strength blastfurnacecements and low early strength blastfurnace cements with low heat of hydration.The requirements in EN 197-4 are based on the results of tests on cement in accordance with EN 196 Parts 1, 2, 3, 7, 8,9 and 21. The scheme for the evaluation of conformity of low early strength blastfurnace cements to EN 197-4 is includedin EN 197-2.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries arebound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
EN 197-4:2004 (E)4IntroductionIt 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 EN 197-4. In addition, work isbeing carried out by CEN/TC 51 to identify any additional tests which are needed to specify further performancecharacteristics of cement. Until further performance tests are available it is highly recommended that the choice ofcement, especially the type and/or strength class in relation to the requirements for durability depending on exposureclass and type of construction in which it is incorporated, follows the appropriate standards and/or regulations for concretevalid in the place of use.1 ScopeThis EN 197-4 defines and gives the specifications of 3 distinct low early strength blastfurnace cement products and theirconstituents. The definition of each cement includes the proportions in which the constituents are to be combined toproduce these distinct products in a range of three strength classes. The definition also includes requirements theconstituents have to meet and the mechanical, physical, chemical, including where appropriate, heat of hydration,requirements and strength classes. This EN 197-4 also states the conformity criteria and the related rules. Necessarydurability requirements are also given.NOTE 1In addition to the specified requirements, an exchange of additional information between the cement producer and user canbe helpful. The procedures for such an exchange are not within the scope of EN 197-4 but should be dealt with in accordance withnational standards or regulations or can be agreed between the parties concerned.NOTE 2The word "cement" in this EN 197-4 is used to refer only to low early strength blastfurnace cements unless otherwiseindicated.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normativereferences are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter.

It has hydration reactions and processes identical to thoseof common cements (see EN 197-1) but through composition, fineness or reactivity of constituents the early hydrationprocess is slower.5 ConstituentsFor the purpose of this European Standard the requirements for constituents specified in clause 5 of EN 197-1:2000apply.6 Composition and notationThe 3 products in the family of low early strength blastfurnace cements, covered by this European Standard, and theirnotation are given in Table 1. They are grouped into one main cement type:¾ CEM III
Blastfurnace cementThe composition of the different low early strength blastfurnace cements shall be in accordance with Table 1.NOTEFor clarity in definition, the requirements for the composition refer to the sum of all main and minor additional constituents.The final cement should be understood as the main and minor additional constituents plus the necessary calcium sulfate (see 5.4 of EN197-1:2000) and any additives (see 5.5 of EN 197-1:2000).
