DIN EN 14216:2015-09

This European Standard defines and gives the specifications of six distinct very low heat special cement products and their constituents. The definition of each cement includes the proportions in which the constituents are to be combined to produce these distinct products in a single strength class having a limited heat of hydration value. The definition also includes requirements the constituents shall meet and the mechanical, physical, chemical and heat of hydration requirements for these products. This European Standard also states the conformity criteria and the related rules. Necessary durability requirements are also given. In addition to the specified requirements, an exchange of additional information between the cement producer and user can be helpful. The procedures for such an exchange are not within the scope of this European Standard but should be dealt with in accordance with national standards or regulations or can be agreed between the parties concerned. Compared to the version EN 14216:2004 the following major changes have been included in this document: - use of the terminology given by the Construction Products Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 305/2011); - a clause "Dangerous substances" has been added; - the former Annex A (informative) "Water-soluble hexavalent chromium" has been deleted; - Annex ZA has been revised in accordance with the Construction Products Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 305/2011). The German body involved in the preparation is Working Committee NA 005-07-13 AA "Zement, SpA zu Teilbereichen von CEN/TC 51 und ISO/TC 74" ("Cement, Mirror Committee of parts of CEN/TC 51 and ISO/TC 74") at the DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering (NABau).
