Overview
EN 13395-4:2002 is a CEN test method for assessing the workability of repair mortars applied overhead. It specifies a laboratory procedure to determine whether a repair mortar or repair concrete can be applied to an overhead (underside) concrete surface under usual conditions. The standard demonstrates application capability by applying a controlled thickness of material to prepared substrates, curing, and measuring pull‑off strength, but it does not account for site workmanship or operator skill.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Applicability to products and systems for repair of concrete as referenced in prEN 1504-3 (structural/non‑structural repair).
- Principle: Apply mortar to the underside of a prepared concrete substrate, cure, then determine pull‑off strength (per EN 1542) for evaluation of overhead applicability.
- Standard laboratory climate: (21 ± 2) °C and 60 % ± 10 % RH (ISO 554).
- Substrates and apparatus:
- Concrete slabs MC(0,45) 300 × 300 × 100 mm with one grit‑blasted face.
- Mixer in accordance with EN 196‑1 (or pan mixer), trowels, steel float, rigid non‑absorbent framework.
- Core drill with 50 mm diamond tool; pull‑off equipment per EN 1542.
- Layer thickness:
- (20 ± 2) mm for repair mortars with maximum aggregate ≤ 5 mm.
- (40 ± 4) mm for materials with larger maximum particle sizes (unless manufacturer specifies otherwise).
- Mixing and curing:
- Mix per manufacturer instructions (default to EN 196‑1 water content if unspecified).
- Cure periods: typically 28 days for cementitious categories CC and PCC (CC cured under water), 7 days for PC materials (see annex A for detailed curing and conditioning regimes).
- Conditioning options:
- Dry: 7 days in standard laboratory climate prior to testing.
- Wet: immerse 48 h at (21 ± 2) °C (or test CC directly after 28 d immersion).
- Test reporting: Must include laboratory, product ID/batch, preparation details, curing/conditioning, pull‑off results (individual values, mean, SD), fracture types and equipment calibration.
Practical applications and users
This standard is used for:
- Manufacturers developing and validating overhead repair mortars and systems.
- Independent test laboratories performing conformity and performance testing.
- Specifiers and engineers who prepare repair system specifications and need evidence of overhead applicability.
- Quality assurance / compliance teams verifying that products meet requirements referenced in EN 1504 series.
Benefits: provides reproducible laboratory evidence that a material can be applied overhead and will adhere under controlled conditions, supporting product datasheets, technical approvals, and tender specifications.
