Admixtures for concrete, mortar and grout - Part 3: Admixtures for masonry mortar - Definitions, requirements, conformity and marking and labelling

This European Standard defines and specifies the requirements and conformity criteria for admixtures for use in cement based masonry mortar. It covers two types of admixtures, long term retarding and air entraining/plasticising which are used in ready-mixed and site made masonry mortars. Provisions for the use of admixtures for masonry mortar are not part of this European Standard but are covered by EN 998-1 and EN 998-2.

Zusatzmittel für Beton, Mörtel und Einpressmörtel - Teil 3: Zusatzmittel für Mauermörtel - Definitionen, Anforderungen, Konformität, Kennzeichnung und Beschriftung

Diese Europäische Norm enthält Anforderungen und Konformitätskriterien für Zusatzmittel für zementgebundenen
Mauermörtel.
Sie gilt für zwei Arten von Zusatzmitteln, Erstarrungsverzögerer für langzeitverzögerte Mauermörtel und
Luftporenbildner/Betonverflüssiger, die sowohl für Mörtel, der fertig gemischt auf die Baustelle geliefert wird,
als auch für Mörtel, der auf der Baustelle hergestellt wird, verwendet werden.
Festlegungen zur praktischen Anwendung von Zusatzmitteln für Mauermörtel sind nicht Bestandteil dieser
Europäischen Norm, sondern werden durch EN 998-1 und EN 998-2 erfasst.

Adjuvants pour béton, mortier et coulis - Adjuvants pour mortier à maçonner - Partie 3: Définitions, exigences, conformité, marquage et étiquetage

La présente Norme européenne définit et précise les exigences et les critères de conformité pour les adjuvants utilisés dans le mortier à maçonner à base de ciments. Il s'applique à deux types d'adjuvants, les adjuvants fortement retardateurs de prise et les adjuvants entraîneurs d'air / plastifiants utilisés dans le mortier prêt à l'emploi ainsi que dans le mortier fabriqué sur chantier. Les dispositions relatives à l’utilisation d'adjuvants de mortier à maçonner ne font pas partie de la présente norme européenne, mais de l’EN 998-1 et de l'EN 998-2.

upper limit of the recommended range of dosage
4 Requirements
Masonry mortar admixtures, when sampled in accordance with EN 934-6:2001 and EN 934-6/A1, shall comply with
the requirements in EN 934-1:2008, Table 1 using the test methods listed therein and the additional requirements
specific to different types of admixture listed in Table 1.
NOTE 1 Tests should be carried out with the admixtures and other materials intended to be used in the mortar to check
whether the desired effect can be obtained.
For content of substances and release of substances from the hardened mortar which are dangerous to health,
hygiene and the environment see Annex A (informative).
