(Main)Aggregates for mortar
Aggregates for mortar
This European Standard specifies the properties of aggregates obtained by processing natural, manufactured or recycled materials and mixtures of these aggregates for use in mortars, renders and screeds, e.g.
a) masonry mortar,
b) floor/screed mortar,
c) surfacing of internal walls (plastering mortar),
d) rendering of external walls,
e) special bedding materials,
f) repair mortar,
g) grouts,
for buildings, roads and civil engineering works.
It covers aggregates having an oven dried particle density greater than 1,50 Mg/m3 (2 000 kg/m3). It also covers recycled aggregate with densities between 1,50 Mg/m3 (1 500 kg/m3) and 2,00 Mg/m3 (2 000 kg/m3).
A list of the source materials that have been considered and are within the scope of this standard is given in Annex A (normative)
Requirements for the evaluation of conformity of the products to this European Standard are given in FprEN 16236.
It incorporates a general requirement that aggregates will not release any dangerous substances in excess of the maximum permitted levels specified in a relevant European Standard for the material or permitted in the national regulations of the member state of destination (see Note 3).
The Tables in this standard include categories that are common across the four main aggregate standards: EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 and EN 13242. Not all of these categories are appropriate for aggregates for use in mortars, renders and screeds. Those categories, which are appropriate for mortar, are shown grey shaded.
NOTE 1 Aggregates used in construction should comply with all the relevant requirements of the appropriate European Standards for aggregates. These standards include comprehensive and specific requirements for natural aggregates, iron and steel making slag and recycled aggregates, dealing with, for example, the stability of certain basalts, the expansion of certain slags and the constitution of recycled aggregates.
For materials from some other secondary sources, however, work is ongoing and the requirements are incomplete. In the meantime such materials, when placed on the market as aggregates, will comply fully with this standard but may also be required to comply with specific relevant additional requirements at the place of use. Additional characteristics and requirements may be specified on a case-by-case basis depending upon experience of use of the product, and defined in specific contractual documents.
NOTE 2 Properties for lightweight aggregates are specified in EN 13055-1.
NOTE 3 Requirements for the declaration of the potential of aggregates to release regulated dangerous substances are currently under development. Until such time as these are finalized, attention should be paid to requirements at the place of use.
Gesteinskörnungen für Mörtel
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Eigenschaften von Gesteinskörnungen fest, die durch Aufbereitung natürlicher, industriell hergestellter oder rezyklierter Materialien und ihrer Mischungen gewonnen werden und für die Verwendung in Mörtel, Putzmörtel und Estrichen für Gebäude, Straßen und Ingenieurbauten vorgesehen sind, z. B.:
a) Mauermörtel;
b) Estrichmörtel;
c) Innenputzmörtel;
d) Außenputzmörtel;
e) besondere Vergussmörtel;
f) Reparaturmörtel;
g) Einpressmörtel.
Sie deckt Gesteinskörnungen mit einer Kornrohdichte nach Trocknung im Wärmeschrank größer als 2,00 Mg/m3 (2 000 kg/m3) ab. Die Norm deckt ebenfalls rezyklierte Gesteinskörnungen mit einer Rohdichte größer als 1,50 Mg/m3 (1 500 kg/m3) ab.
Anhang A (normativ) enthält ein Verzeichnis der berücksichtigten Ausgangsmaterialien, die im Anwen-dungsbereich dieser Europäischen Norm liegen.
Anforderungen an die Bewertung der Konformität von Produkten nach dieser Europäischen Norm sind in EN 16236 enthalten.
Die Norm enthält die allgemeine Anforderung, dass die Freisetzung gefährlicher Stoffe aus Gesteinskörnungen die maximal zulässigen Grenzwerte, die in der einschlägigen Europäischen Norm für das Material festgelegt sind bzw. die nach den nationalen Bestimmungen des Bestimmungsmitgliedstaats zulässig sind, nicht übersteigen darf.
Die Tabellen in dieser Norm enthalten Kategorien, die in allen vier Hauptnormen für Gesteinskörnungen festgelegt sind: EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 und EN 13242. Nicht alle Kategorien sind für Gesteinskörnungen zur Verwendung in Mörtel, Putzmörtel und Estrichen geeignet.
Die grau hinterlegten Kategorien, Anmerkungen, Kommentare, usw. sollten nicht für Gesteinskörnungen in Mörtel verwendet werden.
Gesteinskörnungen im Bauwesen sollten mit allen einschlägigen Anforderungen der jeweiligen Europäischen Normen für Gesteinskörnungen übereinstimmen. Diese Normen enthalten umfassende und spezifische Anforderungen an natürliche Gesteinskörnungen, Hochofenstück- und Stahlwerksschlacken und rezyklierte Gesteinskörnungen, die sich zum Beispiel mit der Raumbeständigkeit einiger Basalte, der Volumenzunahme bestimmter Schlacken und der Zusammensetzung von rezyklierten Gesteinskörnungen befassen.
Die Arbeiten an Festlegungen für Materialien aus weiteren sekundären Quellen sind jedoch noch nicht abgeschlossen und die Anforderungen sind unvollständig. In der Zwischenzeit sollten solche Materialien, sofern sie als Gesteinskörnungen in Verkehr gebracht werden, den Anforderungen dieser Norm voll entsprechen. Unter Umständen müssen sie aber auch zusätzliche spezifische Anforderungen, die am Verwendungsort gelten, erfüllen. Abhängig von den Erfahrungen mit der Anwendung des Produkts dürfen im Einzelfall zusätzliche Eigenschaften und Anforderungen festgelegt werden und in den spezifischen Vertragsunterlagen definiert werden.
ANMERKUNG Anforderungen an leichte Gesteinskörnungen sind in prEN 13055 festgelegt.
Zurzeit werden Anforderungen an die Angabe des Potenzials von Gesteinskörnungen, gesetzlich geregelte gefährliche Stoffe freizusetzen, erarbeitet. Bis zur Fertigstellung dieser Anforderungen sollten die Anforderungen am Verwendungsort beachtet werden.
Granulats pour mortiers
Cette Norme Européenne spécifie les caractéristiques des granulats élaborés à partir de matériaux naturels, artificiels ou recyclés et de mélanges de ces granulats utilisés dans les mortiers, les mortiers d'enduit et les mortiers pour chapes, par exemple :
a) mortier de maçonnerie ;
b) mortier pour chape ou plancher ;
c) surfaçage des parois intérieures (mortier pour enduit) ;
d) enduit des parois extérieures ;
e) matériaux spéciaux de scellement ;
f) mortier pour réparation ;
g) mortier de coulis,
pour les bâtiments, routes et travaux de génie civil.
Elle s'applique aux granulats dont la masse volumique réelle après séchage à l'étuve est supérieure à 2,00 Mg/m3 (2 000 kg/m3). Elle s'applique également aux granulats recyclés dont la masse volumique réelle est supérieure à 1,50 Mg/m3 (1 500 kg/m3).
Une liste des origines des matériaux qui ont été prises en considération et relèvent du domaine d'application de la présente norme est donnée à l'Annexe A (normative).
Les exigences relatives à l’évaluation de la conformité sont spécifiées dans l’EN 16236.
La présente norme intègre une exigence générale stipulant que les granulats ne doivent dégager aucune substance dangereuse dont les valeurs d'émission dépassent les niveaux maximaux admissibles spécifiés dans une Norme européenne pertinente pour le matériau ou dans la réglementation nationale de l'Etat membre de destination.
Les tableaux de la présente norme contiennent des catégories qui sont communes aux quatre principales normes relatives aux granulats : EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 et EN 13242. Ces catégories ne sont pas toutes appropriées pour un usage des granulats dans les mortiers, les mortiers d'enduit et les mortiers pour chapes.
Les catégories, notes, commentaires, etc. qui sont grisés ne devraient pas être utilisées pour les applications dans les mortiers.
Les granulats utilisés dans la construction doivent respecter toutes les exigences des Normes européennes concernées. Ces dernières contiennent les exigences générales et particulières relatives aux granulats naturels, au laitier de haut fourneau et d'aciérie et aux granulats recyclés, et traitent par exemple de la stabilité de certains basaltes, de l'expansion de certains laitiers et de la composition des granulats recyclés.
Cependant, pour les matériaux provenant d’autres sources secondaires, les travaux sont en cours et les exigences sont incomplètes. En attendant, il convient que ces matériaux, lorsqu'ils sont mis sur le marché en tant que granulats, respectent pleinement la présente norme, mais ils peuvent aussi devoir se conformer à des exigences complémentaires spécifiques pertinentes sur le lieu d'utilisation. Des caractéristiques et des exigences complémentaires peuvent être spécifiées au cas par cas, en fonction de l'expérience acquise à l'usage du produit, et définies dans des documents contractuels spécifiques.
NOTE Les caractéristiques des granulats légers sont spécifiées dans le prEN 13055.
Les exigences relatives à la déclaration du potentiel des granulats à relarguer des substances dangereuses réglementées sont actuellement en cours d'élaboration. Tant qu'elles ne sont pas finalisées, il convient de tenir compte des exigences en vigueur sur le lieu d'utilisation.
Agregati za malte
Ta evropski standard določa lastnosti agregatov, pridobljenih z obdelavo naravnih, umetnih ali recikliranih materialov, in zmesi teh agregatov za uporabo v maltah, ometih in estrihih, npr.
a) malta za zidanje:
b) malta za estrihe/talna malta;
c) notranji ometi,
d) zunanji ometi,
e) posebni materiali za podlago,
f) malta za popravila,
g) injekcijske mase
za stavbe, ceste in gradbene inženirske objekte.
Zajema agregate s prostorninsko maso sušenih zrn, večjo od 2,00 mg/m3 (2000 kg/m3). Zajema tudi agregate s prostorninsko maso, večjo od 1,50 mg/m3 (1500 kg/m3). Seznam obravnavanih izvornih materialov, ki določa materiale, vključene v predmet tega standarda, je naveden v dodatku A (normativni). Zahteve za vrednotenje skladnosti izdelkov s tem evropskim standardom so navedene v standardu EN 16236. Vključuje splošno zahtevo o tem, da agregati ne smejo oddajati nobenih nevarnih snovi v količinah, ki so večje od največjih dovoljenih količin v ustreznem evropskem standardu za materiale ali v nacionalni zakonodaji države članice. Razpredelnice v tem standardu vključujejo kategorije, ki so skupne vsem štirim glavnim standardom za agregate: EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 in EN 13242. Nekatere od teh kategorij niso primerne za agregate za uporabo v maltah, ometih in estrihih. Kategorije, opombe, komentarji itd. v sivi barvi se ne smejo uporabljati v maltah. Agregati, ki se uporabljajo pri konstrukcijah, morajo izpolnjevati ustrezne zahteve primernih evropskih standardov za agregate. Ti standardi vključujejo celovite in posebne zahteve za naravne agregate, žlindro, nastalo pri pridobivanju železa in jekla, in reciklirane agregate ter obravnavajo na primer stabilnost nekaterih bazaltov, raztezek nekaterih vrst žlindre in sestavo recikliranih agregatov. Za materiale iz nekaterih drugih sekundarnih virov oblikovanje standardov še poteka in so zahteve nepopolne. Kadar so taki materiali dani na tržišče kot agregati, morajo v celoti ustrezati temu standardu in morajo biti morda skladni tudi s posebnimi ustreznimi dodatnimi zahtevami, ki veljajo na območju uporabe. Dodatne značilnosti in zahteve se lahko določijo za vsak posamezen primer glede na izkušnje pri uporabi izdelka in so opredeljene v posebnih pogodbenih dokumentih. OPOMBA Zahteve za lahke agregate so določene v standardu prEN 13055. Zahteve za izjavo o kapaciteti agregatov za izpust reguliranih nevarnih snovi so v pripravi. Dokler te zahteve niso dokončno oblikovane, je treba upoštevati zahteve na območju uporabe.

a For aggregate sizes where D is greater than 63 mm (e.g. 80 mm and 90 mm) only the oversize requirements related to the 1,4 D sieve apply since there is no ISO 565/R20 series sieve above 125 mm. b If the percentage retained on D is < 1 % by mass the producer shall document and declare the typical grading including the sieves D, d, d/2 and sieves in the basic set plus set 1 or basic set plus 2 intermediate between d and D. c For single size coarse aggregates d/D, where D/d < 2, of the categories GC85/15, GC85/20 and GCA85/15, the value of the percentage passing by mass at D may be lowered by 5 % according to the particular application or end use.
4.3.2 Coarse aggregates Coarse aggregates shall conform to the general grading requirements specified in Table 2 appropriate to their size designation d/D and grading category GCX/Y and GGX/Y. For graded aggregates, defined as those where D/d ≥ 2, all gradings shall conform to the overall limits in Table 3 appropriate to their grading category. The typical grading passing the mid size sieve shall be declared and the tolerances selected from Table 3 appropriate to the grading category shall be applied. SIST EN 13139:2013

4.3.3 Fine aggregates Fine aggregates shall conform to the general grading requirements of Table 2 appropriate to their upper sieve size D and grading category GF85. When required, the typical grading, in terms of the percentages passing the 4 mm, 2 mm, 1 mm, 0,250 mm and 0,063 mm sieves shall be declared. When required, the grading of the fine aggregates shall comply with the tolerances in Table 4 applied around the declared typical grading. 4.3.4 All-in aggregates All-in aggregates shall conform to the general grading requirements of Table 2 appropriate to their upper sieve size D and grading category GAX/Y. When required, the typical grading passing the mid size sieve shall be declared and the tolerances selected from Table 4 appropriate to the grading category shall be applied. SIST EN 13139:2013
NOTE 1 Recommendations for the description of the coarseness of the aggregates are given in Annex B. NOTE 2 The majority of fine aggregates in regular satisfactory use for most applications conform to general use grading requirements. It is not intended that special use gradings should apply except where essential for particular applications. 4.3.5 Special use aggregates and declared grading categories When special aggregates gradings are required for a particular end use, or to define a specific source special grading envelopes shall be defined using the appropriate sieves from Table 1. The general principles of Clause 4 shall be applied using appropriate requirements at 2D, 1,4D, D, d, d/2. The grading category shall be quoted as DGX/Y to indicate clearly that it is a declared or special use category. 4.3.6 Grading of added filler The grading is determined in accordance with EN 933-10 and shall conform to the values specified in Table 5.

4.6 Particle shape and shell content 4.6.1 Particle shape The particle shape of fine aggregates smaller than 4 mm is not normally relevant in the behaviour of mortars. When required, the shape shall be determined in accordance with EN 933-3 in terms of the flakiness index and the results declared in accordance with the relevant category specified in Table 9 according to the particular application or end use. For all-in aggregates the flakiness index shall be measured on the fraction 4/D. SIST EN 13139:2013
4.6.2 Shell content When exceptionally required the shell content for aggregate fractions coarser than 4 mm of marine origin shall be determined in accordance with EN 933-7 and the results declared in accordance with the relevant category specified in Table 10 according to the particular application or end use. NOTE It is usually not necessary to specify requirements for the shell content. No European test method is available for the determination of shell content in fine aggregates.

5 Physical requirements 5.1 General The necessity for testing and declaring all properties specified in this clause shall be limited according to the particular application at end use or origin of the aggregate. When required, the tests specified in Clause 5 shall be carried out to determine the relevant physical properties. When the value of a property is required but not defined by specified limits the value should be declared as an XXDeclared category. NOTE 1 When a property is not required, a “No requirement” category can be used. NOTE 2 Guidance on selection of appropriate categories for specific applications can be found in national provisions in the place of use of the aggregate. SIST EN 13139:2013
6 Chemical requirements 6.1 General The necessity for testing and declaring all properties specified in this clause shall be limited according to the particular application at end use or origin of the aggregate. When required, the tests as specified in Clause 6 shall be carried out to determine the appropriate chemical properties. When the value of a property is required but not defined by specified limits the value should be declared by the manufacturer as an XYDeclared category, e.g. in Table 11 for air-cooled blast furnace slag a value of say 1,2 % corresponds to AS1,2(Declared value). NOTE 1 When a property is not required, a “No requirement” category can be used. NOTE 2 Guidance on selection of appropriate categories for specific applications can be found in national provisions in the place of use of the aggregate. NOTE 3 Where conformity with a category is based on a value of a property being less than or equal to a given value, conformity with a more severe category (lower value) automatically confers conformity with all less severe categories (higher values). Similarly for categories based on the value of a property being greater than or equal to a given value, conformity with a more severe (higher value) automatically confers conformity with all less severe categories (lower values). The tables in this standard include categories which are common across the four main aggregate standards: EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 and EN 13242. Categories, notes, comments, etc., which are shown grey shaded should not be used for mortars. NOTE 4 The chemical requirements specified in 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 apply only to aggregates and filler aggregates for use in mortars in which the binder contains cements within the scope of EN 197-1. NOTE 5 Guidance on the effects of chemical constituents in aggregates and filler aggregates, including alkali-silica reactivity, related to the durability, appearance and surface properties of the mortar in which they are incorporated is given in Annex C.

6.3.2 Total sulphur The total sulphur content of the aggregate and filler aggregates, determined in accordance with EN 1744-1:2009, clause 11, shall not exceed: a) 1 % S by mass for natural aggregates; b) 2 % S by mass for air-cooled blast furnace slag. Special precautions are necessary if pyrrhotite, (an unstable form of iron sulphide FeS), is present in the aggregate. If this mineral is known to be present, a maximum total sulphur content of 0,1 % as S shall apply. 6.4 Constituents which alter the rate of setting and hardening of mortar The presence of organic matter shall be determined in accordance with EN 1744-1 (determination of potential presence of humus). If the results indicate the presence of humic acid, the presence of fulvo acids shall be determined in accordance with EN 1744-1. If the supernatant liquid in these tests is lighter than the standard colours, the aggregates shall be considered to be free from organic matter. SIST EN 13139:2013
Some inorganic compounds, which discolour the supernatant liquid in the sodium hydroxide test, do not adversely affect the setting and hardening of mortar. Sugars do not affect the colour of the supernatant liquid in the sodium hydroxide test or the fulvo acid test. If it is suspected that sugars or sugar type materials are present, the aggregate should be tested using the mortar specimen test (see EN 1744-1). The stiffening time and compressive strength requirements shown above should apply. Aggregates and filler aggregates that contain organic or other substances in proportions that alter the rate of setting and hardening of mortar shall be assessed for the effect on stiffening time and compressive strength in accordance with EN 1744-1. The proportions of such materials shall be such that they do not: a) increase the stiffening time of mortar test specimens by more than 120 min; b) decrease the compressive strength of mortar test specimens by more than 20 % at 28 days. When required the presence of lightweight organic contaminators shall be tested in accordance with EN 1744-1 and the results declared. 6.5 Additional requirements for manufactured aggregates 6.5.1 Water solubility When determined in accordance with EN 1744-1 water solubility shall not exceed 1 % by mass. 6.5.2 Loss on ignition When required, the loss on ignition determined in accordance with EN 1744-1 shall not exceed the limits specified in Table 12. Table 12 — Limits for loss on ignition Loss on ignition (by mass) Air cooled blast furnace slag % 3 7 Durability 7.1 General The necessity for testing and declaring all properties specified in this clause shall be limited according to the particular application at end use or origin of the aggregate. When required, the tests specified in Clause 7 shall be carried out to determine the appropriate properties for the durability of aggregates. NOTE Where conformity with a category is based on a value of a property being less than or equal to a given value, conformity with a more severe category (lower value) automatically confers conformity with all less severe categories (higher values). Similarly for categories based on the value of a property being greater than or equal to a given value, conformity with a more severe (higher value) automatically confers conformity with all less severe categories (lower values). SIST EN 13139:2013
7.2.2 Resistance to freezing and thawing When required, the resistance to freezing and thawing of aggregate fractions coarser than 4 mm shall be determined in accordance with either EN 1367-1 or derived from the 10 mm to 14 mm aggregate fraction from the same source in accordance with EN 1367-2, and the results declared in accordance with the relevant category specified in Table 14. When the resistance to freezing and thawing of aggregates of 4 mm or less and filler aggregates is required in the end use situation, it shall be derived from a freeze-thaw test on the mortar in accordance with the provisions valid at the place of use and the results declared. Table 14 — Categories for maximum freeze-thaw resistance values Freeze-thaw Percentage loss of mass Category F ≤ 1 F1 ≤ 2 F2 ≤ 4 F4 > 4 FDeclared No requirement FNR 7.3 Alkali-silica reactivity When required the alkali-silica reactivity of aggregates and filler aggregates shall be assessed in accordance with the provisions valid in the place of use and the results declared. NOTE Guidance on the effects of alkali-silica reactivity is given in Annex C. SIST EN 13139:2013

Source materials considered in the development of EN 13139 and their status in respect of the scope of the standard A.1 General The source types listed in this annex have been considered in the preparation of this standard. Their status within the standard is indicated in Table A.1. Source materials not described here are outside the scope of EN 13139. Sources with no history of use in mortars, renders or screeds are outside the scope of the standard and should not be used as aggregate in conformity with this standard and are therefore shown grey shaded in Table A.1. Sources with positive history of use and no identification of the need for additional requirements are within the scope of the standard. Sources with a positive history of use and where the need for additional requirements has been identified are provisionally within scope pending the inclusion of suitable test methods and requirements. In all cases, there is an obligation to control the potential release of regulated dangerous substances (RDS). The information in this annex is based on a comprehensive survey of the use of aggregates from secondary sources in European member states undertaken between 2000 and 2005. CEN/TC154 intends to keep this inventory under continual review. Any relevant information to assist in the updating of this annex including any proposal for the inclusion of new source types should be submitted to the secretariat of CEN/TC154. In situations where the need for additional requirements has been identified, such materials, when placed on the market as aggregates, should comply fully with this standard but may also be required to comply with specific relevant additional requirements at the place of use. Additional characteristics and requirements may be specified on a case-by-case basis depending upon experience of use of the product, and defined in specific contractual documents. Under an extension to its Mandate, CEN/TC154 is currently developing requirements for the declaration of the potential of aggregates to release regulated dangerous substances under Essential Requirement 3. It is anticipated that the source classifications in this annex will be used as the basis of families for the collation of data and the development of source specific requirements for regulated dangerous substances. Any input to this process should be made through the secretariat of CEN/TC 154. SIST EN 13139:2013
