Cement - Part 2: Conformity evaluation
This European Standard specifies the scheme for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of cements to their corresponding product specification standards, including certification of constancy of performance by a product certification body. The standard provides technical rules for factory production control by the manufacturer, including autocontrol testing of samples, and for the tasks of the product certification body. It also provides rules for actions to be
followed in the event of non-conformity, the procedure for the AVCP and requirements for dispatching centres. In this European Standard, the word “cement” is used to refer both to common cements as defined in EN 197-1 and to other cements and binders for which the relevant product specification standard makes reference to this European Standard and which are submitted for certification. Such a cement is produced at a given factory and belongs to a particular type and a particular strength class, as defined and specified in the relevant product specification standard. The guidelines given in the Technical Report CEN/TR 14245 [1]1) should be used for the application of this European Standard. This European Standard should be linked with Annexes ZA of European Standards covering cements and binders, i.e. EN 197-1, EN 14216, EN 14647, EN 413-1, EN 15743, in particular for the assignments of tasks to the manufacturer and to the product certification body. NOTE The reason for having drafted this separate document is that the provisions it includes are applicable to different products covered by different European Standards.
Zement - Teil 2: Konformitätsbewertung
Diese Europäische Norm legt das Verfahren für die Konformitätsbewertung von Zementen mit den ent-sprechenden Produktnormen, einschließlich der Zertifizierung der Konformität durch eine Zertifizierungsstelle fest.
Die Norm enthält technische Regeln für die werkseigene Produktionskontrolle durch den Hersteller, einschließlich der internen Überwachungsprüfungen von Proben, und für die Aufgaben der Zertifizierungs-stelle. Sie enthält darüber hinaus Regeln für Maßnahmen, die bei Nichtkonformität zu ergreifen sind, sowie das Verfahren für die Zertifizierung der Konformität und Anforderungen für Auslieferungsstellen.
In dieser Europäischen Norm verweist das Wort „Zement“ sowohl auf Normalzemente, wie in EN 197-1 festgelegt, als auch auf weitere Zemente und Bindemittel, deren entsprechende Produktnormen auf diese Europäische Norm verweisen und die der Zertifizierung unterworfen werden. Solch ein Zement wird in einem bestimmten Werk hergestellt und gehört zu einer bestimmten Art und Festigkeitsklasse, wie in der zugehörigen Produktnorm definiert und festgelegt.
Für die Anwendung dieser Europäischen Norm sollte die im CEN-Bericht CR 14245 1 gegebene Anleitung verwendet werden.
Diese Europäische Norm ist mit den Anhängen ZA von Europäischen Normen, die Zemente und Bindemittel behandeln, d. h. EN 197 1, EN 14216, EN 14647, EN 413 1, EN 15743 zu verknüpfen, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Zuweisung von Aufgaben für den Hersteller und die Zertifizierungsstelle.
ANMERKUNG Grund für die Verfassung dieses gesonderten Dokuments ist, dass die hierin enthaltenen Festlegungen auf unterschiedliche Produkte anwendbar sind, die in verschiedenen Europäischen Normen behandelt werden.
Ciment - Partie 2: Evaluation de la conformité
La présente Norme européenne spécifie le système d’évaluation de conformité des ciments aux normes de
spécification de produit correspondantes qui inclut une certification de conformité par un organisme de
certification.
La norme fournit des règles techniques applicables au contrôle de la production en usine effectué par le
fabricant, y compris les essais d’autocontrôle sur des échantillons, et aux tâches incombant à l’organisme de
certification. Elle établit également des règles à suivre en cas de non-conformité, la procédure de certification
de conformité et les exigences applicables aux centres de distribution.
Dans la présente Norme européenne, le terme « ciment » est utilisé pour faire référence aux ciments courants
définis dans l’EN 197-1 ainsi qu’aux autres ciments et liants dont les normes de spécification de produit
correspondantes font référence à la présente Norme européenne et qui sont soumis à certification. Un tel
ciment est produit dans une usine donnée et appartient à un type et à une classe de résistance particuliers,
définis et spécifiés dans la norme de spécification de produit correspondante.
Il convient d’utiliser les lignes directrices données dans le Rapport du CEN CR 14245 [1] pour l’application de
la présente Norme européenne.
La présente Norme européenne doit être mise en relation avec les Annexes ZA des Normes européennes
traitant des ciments et des liants, à savoir l’EN 197-1, l’EN 14216, l’EN 14647, l’EN 413-1 et l’EN 15743, en
particulier pour l’attribution des tâches au fabricant et à l’organisme de certification.
NOTE La raison pour laquelle ce document séparé a été rédigé est que les dispositions qu’il contient sont
applicables à différents produits couverts par des Normes européennes différentes.
