Overview

EN 1015-10:1999/A1:2006 is a CEN amendment to the established test method for determining dry bulk density of hardened mortar used in masonry. This amendment modifies several clauses of the 1999 standard to clarify normative references, adjust the drying regime, remove submerged mass procedures and update calculation rules. CEN required members to adopt the amendment as a national standard by June 2007.

Key Topics

• Normative references: The amendment replaces the previous explanatory text with a mandatory note that referenced documents are indispensable and clarifies the application of dated and undated references. All occurrences of the prefix "pr" before EN references are deleted throughout the text.
• Principle: Text that referred to mass measurements "when submerged in water in a saturated condition" has been deleted, changing how specimen mass data are treated in the procedure.
• Symbols removed: The amendment deletes three symbols previously used to represent saturated specimen mass and water density.
• Apparatus: The requirement for a specimen-bearing stirrup for weighing submerged specimens is removed from clause 5.1, reflecting the deletion of submerged-mass procedures.
• Drying regime: The clause heading "7.1 Drying to constant mass" is removed and the drying temperature is changed from 70 °C ± 5 °C to 105 °C ± 5 °C.
• Volume determination: Clause 7.2 (determination of specimen volume by displacement) is deleted in its entirety; instead the calculation clause is amended. The amendment adds a new paragraph stating: "V is taken as the volume of the mould, which is 256 × 10 m ." (as published in the amendment text).

Applications

This amendment affects laboratory practice, quality control and test reporting for masonry mortar dry bulk density:

• Laboratories should update standard operating procedures (SOPs) to reflect the new drying temperature (105 °C ± 5 °C) and to remove submerged-mass and displacement-volume steps.
• Test equipment and training should be revised to ensure compliance with the revised apparatus and calculation requirements.
• Manufacturers, testing houses and compliance bodies will use the revised method to improve consistency and comparability of dry bulk density results across CEN member states.

Benefits include clearer reference management, simplified measurement procedures (no submerged weighing), and a harmonized drying and volume definition that supports reproducible quality control of hardened mortar.

Related Standards

• EN 1015-10:1999 (original part) and other parts of the EN 1015 series (methods of test for mortar for masonry).
• Refer to CEN/TC 125 (Masonry) publications and national implementations for endorsed texts and national status updates.

For implementation, consult the official EN 1015-10:1999/A1:2006 document published by CEN for exact wording and full procedural detail.
