CEN/TC 51/WG 11 - Building lime

This document specifies the test methods for all building limes covered by EN 459 1. They can also be applied to other lime materials, the standards for which call up these methods.
This document specifies in Table 2 the methods used for the chemical analyses and the determination of physical properties of building limes.
This document specifies the reference methods and, in certain cases, an alternative method which can be considered to be equivalent. In the case of a dispute, only the reference methods are used.
Any other methods may be used provided they are calibrated, either against the reference methods or against internationally accepted reference materials, in order to demonstrate their equivalence.

This European Standard applies to building lime used for:
-   preparation of binder for mortar (for example for masonry, rendering and plastering);
-   production of other construction products (for example calcium silicate bricks, autoclaved aerated concrete, concrete, etc.);
-   civil engineering applications (for example soil treatment, asphalt mixtures, etc.).
It gives definitions for the different types of building lime and their classification. It also gives requirements for their chemical and physical properties which depend on the type of building lime and specifies the conformity criteria.
Terms of delivery or other contractual conditions, normally included in documents exchanged between the supplier and the purchaser of building lime, are outside the scope of this European Standard.

This European Standard specifies the scheme for the attestation and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of building limes to their corresponding product standard EN 459 1. It provides rules for surveillance, assessment and evaluation of the factory production control and rules for the frequency of inspections.
The European Standard specifies technical rules for factory production control by the manufacturer, including autocontrol testing of samples. It also provides rules for actions to be followed in the event of non-conformity and requirements for dispatching centres.

This European Standard describes the test methods for all building limes covered by EN 459-1:2010.
This European Standard specifies the methods used for the chemical analyses and the determination of physical properties of building limes.
This document describes the reference methods and, in certain cases, an alternative method which can be considered to be equivalent. In the case of a dispute, only the reference methods are used.

This European Standard specifies the scheme for the evaluation of conformity of building lime to their corresponding
product standard EN 459-1:2001 including declaration of conformity by the manufacturer.
The European Standard provides technical rules for factory production control by the manufacturer, including
autocontrol testing of samples. It also provides rules for actions to be followed in the event of non-conformity, the
procedure for the declaration and requirements for dispatching centres.

This European Standard describes the test methods for all building limes covered by EN 459-1:2001.
This European Standard describes reference test methods and in some cases alternative test methods. In the event
of a dispute, only the reference method is used.
If methods other than the following are used it is necessary to show that they give results equivalent to those given
by the reference methods.

This European Standard applies to building limes used as binders for preparation of mortar (for masonry, rendering and
plastering) and production of other construction products.
It gives definitions for the different types of building limes and their classification. It also gives requirements for their
chemical and physical properties which depend on the type of building lime and specifies the conformity criteria.
Terms of delivery or other contractual conditions, normally included in documents exchanged between the supplier and
the purchaser of lime, are outside the scope of this European Standard.
NOTE   Additional requirements are needed in special applications e. g. civil engineering.
