Overview
EN 1015-17:2000 is a European Standard published by CEN that specifies a method for the determination of water-soluble chloride content of fresh mortars for masonry. The standard applies to fresh mortar samples and provides a harmonized approach for assessing chloride levels that can affect masonry durability and long-term performance. It is classified under ICS 91.100.10 (Cement. Gypsum. Lime. Mortar).
Key Topics
This part of the EN 1015 series focuses on technical requirements and procedures related to chloride measurement in fresh masonry mortars. Key topics include:
- Scope and applicability - defines that the method is for fresh (unhardened) mortars destined for masonry use.
- Sampling and sample preparation - principles for representative sampling of fresh mortar batches (importance of minimizing contamination and preserving sample integrity).
- Determination principle - a laboratory method for quantifying the amount of water-soluble chloride present in the fresh mortar.
- Expression of results - how chloride content is to be reported (typical reporting in mass or concentration terms, and indication of sample condition and units).
- Quality and reporting requirements - documentation of test conditions, sample identification, and conformity with the test method to ensure reproducibility and traceability.
- Terminology and definitions - clarifies terms such as “water-soluble chloride” and “fresh mortar” to ensure consistent interpretation.
(Note: EN 1015-17:2000 specifies the method but does not itself set chloride limit values for design or acceptance.)
Applications
EN 1015-17:2000 is practical for stakeholders who need consistent, comparable measurements of chloride content in fresh mortars:
- Mortar manufacturers - quality control to monitor chloride levels in production batches.
- Testing laboratories - standardized method for routine analytical testing and verification.
- Construction contractors and site QC teams - pre-installation checks to prevent chloride-induced problems in masonry.
- Specifiers, architects, and structural engineers - ensuring materials meet project durability requirements and avoid corrosion risks for embedded metal.
- Regulatory and conformity assessment bodies - reference method for compliance testing and certification.
Related Standards
- EN 1015 series (methods of test for mortar for masonry) - other parts address sampling, mixing, and mechanical tests.
- Standards on chloride limits for concrete/masonry may be referenced by designers and regulators when interpreting results.
