1 Scope
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.

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the definitions in EN 934-1:2008 and the following apply.

3.1
air entraining/plasticizing admixture
admixture which increases workability, or allows water reduction, by incorporating during mixing a controlled
quantity of small, uniformly distributed air bubbles which remain after hardening

3.2
set retarding admixture for long term retarded masonry mortar
set retarding admixture as defined in EN 934-2 but specifically intended for use in long term retarded mortar
incorporating entrained air

EN 934-3:2009+A1:2012 (E)

3.3
performance
ability of an admixture to be effective in its intended use without detrimental effect

3.4
compliance dosage
dosage of an admixture, expressed in % by mass of cement, stated by the manufacturer, which will meet the
requirements of this European Standard. The compliance dosage is within the recommended range of dosage

3.5
recommended range of dosage
dosages between limits, expressed in % by mass of cement, which the manufacturer recommends for the product
based on experience on site

NOTE The use of the recommended dosage does not imply that compliance with this standard will be achieved over the
whole range. Trial tests should be carried out with the materials to be used on site, to find the dosage necessary to achieve the
required result.

3.6
maximum recommended dosage
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/A1:2005", 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 !below".

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,

ZA.1 Scope and relevant characteristics

This European Standard has been prepared under Mandate M/128 “Products related to concrete, mortar and grout”
given to CEN by the European Commission and European Free Trade Association.

The clauses of this European Standard, shown in this annex below, meet the requirements of the mandate given
under EU Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC).

Compliance with these clauses confers a presumption of fitness of the admixtures for masonry mortar covered by
this annex for their intended uses indicated herein; reference shall be made to the information accompanying the
CE marking.

WARNING Other requirements and other EU Directives, not affecting the fitness for intended use(s), may
be applicable to the construction products falling within the scope of this standard.

NOTE 1 In addition to any specific clauses relating to dangerous substances contained in this standard, there may be other
requirements applicable to the products falling within its scope (e.g. transposed European legislation and national laws,
regulations and administrative provisions). In order to meet the provisions of the EU Construction Products Directive, these
requirements need also to be complied with, when and where they apply.

NOTE 2 An informative database of European and national provisions on dangerous substances is available at the
Construction web site on EUROPA (accessed through !http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/construction/cpd-ds/").
Normen-Download-Beuth-Vinci Construction Grands Projets-KdNr.6986426-LfNr.5929818001-2012-10-11 11:00

This annex establishes the conditions for the CE marking of the admixtures for masonry mortar intended for the
uses indicated in Table ZA.1 and shows the relevant clauses applicable.

ZA.3 CE marking and labelling

The manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the EEA is responsible for the affixing of the
CE marking. The CE marking symbol to affix shall be in accordance with Directive 93/68/EC and shall be shown on
the construction product (or when not possible it may be on the accompanying label, the packaging or on the
accompanying commercial documents e.g. a delivery note). The following information shall accompany the CE
marking symbol:

 identification number of the certification body;

 name or identifying mark and registered address of the manufacturer (see Note 1 in ZA.2.2);

 the last two digits of the year in which the marking is affixed;

 number of the EC Certificate of conformity or factory production control certificate (if relevant);

 reference to this European Standard;

 description of the product : generic name, material, dimensions,…and intended use;

 information on those relevant essential characteristics listed in Table ZA.1 which are to be declared presented
as:

 declared values and, where relevant, level or class (including "pass" for pass/fail requirements where
necessary) to declare for each essential characteristic as indicated in "Notes" in Table ZA.1;

 "No performance determined" for characteristics where this is relevant;

 as an alternative, a standard designation which shows some or all of the relevant characteristics (where
the designation covers only some characteristics, it will need to be supplemented with declared values for
other characteristics as above).
Normen-Download-Beuth-Vinci Construction Grands Projets-KdNr.6986426-LfNr.5929818001-2012-10-11 11:00

The "No performance determined" (NPD) option may not be used when the characteristic is subject to a threshold
level. Otherwise, the NPD option may be used when and where the characteristic, for a given intended use, is not
subject to regulatory requirements in the Member State of destination.

Figure ZA.1 gives an example of the information to be given on the product, label, or on the packaging and/or
commercial document.
