Masonry cement - Part 1: Composition, specifications and conformity criteria

This document specifies the definition and composition of masonry cements as commonly used in Europe for the production of mortar for bricklaying and blocklaying and for rendering and plastering. It includes physical, mechanical and chemical requirements and defines strength classes. EN 413-1 also states the conformity criteria and the related rules. Necessary durability requirements are also given.
NOTE   For normal applications the information given in EN 413-1, in EN 998-1 and in EN 998-2 is generally sufficient. However, in special cases, an exchange of additional information between the masonry cement producer and user can be helpful. The details of such an exchange are not within the scope of EN 413-1 but should be dealt with in accordance with national standards or other regulations or can be agreed between the parties concerned.

Putz- und Mauerbinder - Teil 1: Zusammensetzung, Anforderungen und Konformitätskriterien

Dieses Dokument legt die Definition und die Zusammensetzung von Putz- und Mauerbindern, die üblicherweise in Europa für Putz- und Mauerarbeiten verwendet werden, fest. Sie enthält physikalische, mechanische und chemische Anforderungen und definiert Festigkeitsklassen. Darüber hinaus enthält EN 413-1 die Konformitätskriterien und die damit verbundenen Regeln sowie notwendige Anforderungen an die Dauerhaftigkeit.
ANMERKUNG   In der Regel sind die in EN 413-1, EN 998-1 und EN 998-2 enthaltenen Angaben für die übliche Anwendung ausreichend. In besonderen Fällen kann jedoch ein Austausch von zusätzlichen Informationen zwischen dem Hersteller von Putz- und Mauerbindern und dem Abnehmer hilfreich sein. Die Einzelheiten eines solchen Informationsaustauschs sind nicht Gegenstand von EN 413-1; sie sollten in Übereinstimmung mit nationalen Normen oder mit anderen Regelungen festgelegt werden oder können zwischen den betreffenden Parteien vereinbart werden.

Ciment à maçonner - Partie 1 : Composition, spécifications et critères de conformité

La présente Norme européenne spécifie la définition et la composition des ciments à maçonner généralement utilisés en Europe pour la production de mortier destiné au montage de briques et de blocs, ainsi qu’aux enduits intérieurs et extérieurs. Elle inclut les exigences relatives à leurs propriétés physiques, mécaniques et chimiques, et définit les classes de résistance. L’EN 413-1 stipule également les critères de conformité et les règles associées. Elle donne également les exigences de durabilité nécessaires.
NOTE   Pour des applications normales, les informations données dans l’EN 413-1, l’EN 998-1 et l’EN 998-2 sont généralement suffisantes. Toutefois, dans des cas spéciaux, un échange d’informations supplémentaires entre le producteur de ciment à maçonner et l’utilisateur peut se révéler utile. Les détails d’un tel échange ne relèvent pas du domaine d’application de l’EN 413-1, mais il convient de les traiter conformément aux normes nationales ou autres règlements nationaux ; ils peuvent également faire l’objet d’un accord entre les parties concernées.

and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU
Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
EN 413-1 has been prepared to provide a range of materials from which users of EN 998-1,
EN 998-2 and EN 1996-1-1 (Eurocode 6) can select with confidence to achieve the level of
strength and durability required of masonry and rendering.

prEN 413-1:2018 (E)
Introduction
Masonry cement should be defined and specified precisely with sufficiently stringent
requirements to satisfy those who are responsible for the design and construction of buildings
and other structures for maximum safety and durability.
This European standard is a carefully balanced document that has been thoroughly discussed,
taking into account the need to provide clear definitions and specifications and to arrive at a
usable standard.
The requirements of this European standard are, where appropriate, based on the results from
tests on masonry cement in accordance with EN 196 Methods of testing cement. Strength is
measured on a standard mortar prepared in accordance with EN 196-1 with a fixed
water/cement ratio and compacted using the equipment described in EN 196-1. However, some
additional tests have been found necessary and these tests are described in EN 413-2.
CEN/TC 51 recognizes the importance of workability (cohesivity at standard consistence) of
mortars prepared from masonry cements. A test method is available in CR 13933, and in which
results of a test programme are also given. This test method was not found valid for standard
requirement purposes due to its lack of reproducibility, however it provides valuable
information for the manufacturers and users on the property in use of masonry cements.
The properties of bond and durability (resistance to frost and/or chemical attack) of mortars
are very important and appropriate mortar tests are being developed by CEN/TC 125, Masonry.
In many applications, particularly in severe environmental conditions, the choice of the
type/class of masonry cement from EN 413-1 can influence the durability of mortar, e.g. in
respect of frost and chemical resistance.

4 Notation
Masonry cement is designated by the term 'MC'.
There are three strength classes of masonry cement, 5, 12,5 and 22,5.
The term 'X' designates masonry cements in which an air entraining agent is not incorporated.
5 Requirements
5.1 General
The physical, mechanical and chemical properties of masonry cements shall be measured by the
test methods described in EN 413-2 and in the relevant parts of EN 196. These European
standards give alternative test methods for some properties but in the event of a dispute only
the reference methods shall be used. Where allowed in the relevant part of EN 196, different
methods may be used provided they give correlated and equivalent values to those obtained
using the reference method.
The CEN standard sand (see EN 196-1) used to make the mortars for the tests required by 5.3.5
and 5.3.6 shall have a silica content (as quartz) of not less than 93 %.
NOTE EN 196-1 permits the use of CEN standard sands that have been assessed against the CEN
reference sand in respect of their strength characteristics. According to this standard the CEN standard
sand is used in mortar for tests other than that for strength. These tests have only been evaluated using
CEN standard sand based essentially on silica.
All requirements are specified as characteristic values. They serve to define the performance
level and classification of the masonry cements.
5.2 Constituents and composition
Masonry cement shall comprise Portland cement clinker, inorganic constituents and where
appropriate additive(s) as given in Table 1. Calcium sulfate is added in small quantities to the
other constituents of masonry cement during its manufacture to control setting.
The inorganic constituents of masonry cements conforming to EN 413-1 shall be materials
selected from:
— natural mineral materials;
— mineral materials used for or derived from the clinker production process;
— hydrated and/or hydraulic building limes conforming to EN 459-1;
— constituents specified in EN 197-1;
— inorganic pigments (except those containing carbon black) conforming to EN 12878.
NOTE Carbon black has a detrimental effect upon the air entrainment.
Additives shall not promote corrosion of embedded metal such as reinforcement and wall ties
or impair the properties, including behaviour in fire, of the mortar made from the masonry
cement. Organic pigments are not permitted.
