Festlegungen für Mörtel im Mauerwerksbau - Teil 2: Mauermörtel; Deutsche Fassung EN 998-2:2010
Overview
This document specifies requirements for factory made masonry mortars (bedding, jointing and pointing) for use in masonry walls, columns and partitions (for example, facing and rendered masonry, load bearing and non-load bearing masonry structures for building and civil engineering). This document describes the performance requirements related to chloride content, air content, density, workable life and correction time (for thin-layer mortars only) for fresh mortars. For hardened mortars it specifies performance requirements related, for example, to compressive strength, bond strength and density. All properties are measured according to the corresponding test methods contained in separate European standards. This document provides a method for the evaluation of conformity of the product to this European Standard. The marking requirements for products covered by this European Standard are included. The Committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-06-03 AA "Mauermörtel (Sp CEN/TC 125/WG 2)" ("Rendering and plastering mortar (Mirror Committee to CEN/TC 125/WG 2)") at DIN.
