Overview

prEN 480-10 (CEN) is the revised European committee draft for Admixtures for concrete, mortar and grout - Test methods - Part 10: Determination of water soluble chloride content. This standard updates the earlier EN 480-10 series and defines the scope and requirements for measuring the water‑soluble chloride content in chemical admixtures used in concrete, mortar and grout. It is intended to support quality control, specification compliance and durability assessment of construction materials.

Key topics and requirements

The document focuses on standardized, reproducible procedures to determine the amount of chlorides that are soluble in water and may be released from admixtures into cementitious systems. Key technical topics typically covered include:

• Scope and definitions related to water‑soluble chlorides and their significance in admixtures.
• Sampling and sample preparation requirements to ensure representative test material.
• Extraction procedures to separate water‑soluble chloride from the admixture matrix.
• Analytical measurement and reporting requirements for expressing chloride content (expressed per mass of admixture).
• Precision, accuracy and quality control expectations for laboratories performing the determination.
• Units, documentation and test report content to support traceability and regulatory use.

Note: prEN 480-10 is a revision of the earlier EN 480-10 series and aligns the test method with contemporary laboratory practice and regulatory needs.

Applications and who uses it

This standard is practically valuable for professionals and organizations involved in the production, testing and specification of cementitious materials:

• Admixture manufacturers - for product characterization, internal quality control and compliance with product standards.
• Concrete and mortar producers - to verify that admixtures comply with project specifications and do not introduce harmful chloride levels.
• Testing laboratories - to adopt a harmonized method for reliable chloride determination and inter-laboratory comparison.
• Specifiers and structural engineers - to assess risks related to reinforcement corrosion and long‑term durability where chloride ingress is a concern.
• Regulatory bodies and certification schemes - to reference a consistent test method in approvals and standards compliance.

Related standards

• EN 480 series - other parts of the EN 480 family cover additional test methods and requirements for admixtures for concrete, mortar and grout.
• General CEN standards and national standards on concrete durability and chloride limits often reference chloride determination methods for admixtures.

This prEN 480-10 is essential for anyone needing a standardized, reproducible approach to quantify water‑soluble chloride in admixtures and to manage durability risks in reinforced concrete structures.
