Overview

EN 13892-6:2002 is a CEN test method for determining the surface hardness of screed materials. It specifies how to measure the permanent indentation produced by a steel ball on moulded mortar specimens made from magnesite, cementitious, calcium sulfate or synthetic resin screed materials with fine aggregates (≤ 4 mm). The method also applies to specimens cut from in-situ floor screeds and is intended to support quality control and product assessment for screed materials.

Key Topics

  • Scope and applicability
    • Applies to screed materials with aggregates smaller than 4 mm.
    • Specimens must be prepared and cured according to EN 13892-1.
  • Test principle
    • Surface hardness is determined from the permanent depth of indentation produced by a polished steel ball under a defined load, and expressed as a hardness value in N/mm².
  • Apparatus and measurement
    • Steel ball: 10 mm diameter (10 ± 0.01 mm).
    • Loads: initial preload (FV) of (10 ± 0.1) N and main load (F) of (500 ± 5) N.
    • Dial gauge: precise vertical movement measurement (resolution 0.001 mm), indentation read to 0.01 mm.
  • Procedure
    • Apply preload, zero or record initial gauge reading, apply main load for 1 minute, unload to preload and measure indentation depth.
    • Surface hardness calculated from test parameters; measurements taken on three specimens with arithmetic means reported.
  • Reporting
    • Test report must include specimen identification, density, preparation/curing details (EN 13892-1), individual hardness values (nearest 0.05 N/mm²) and mean values (nearest 0.1 N/mm²), equipment details and calibration, plus standard reference.

Applications

  • Quality control and acceptance testing for manufacturers of screed materials (magnesite, cementitious, calcium sulfate, synthetic resin).
  • Product development and comparative performance testing in R&D labs.
  • Construction and flooring contractors for verifying cured floor screed surface hardness on-site or from retained specimens.
  • Independent testing laboratories performing conformity assessment or compliance checks against product standards such as EN 13813.

Who uses this standard

  • Materials and floor screed manufacturers
  • Construction quality assurance teams and site inspectors
  • Third‑party testing laboratories and certification bodies
  • Specifiers and consultants in flooring design and building performance
