This European Standard was approved by CEN on 11 February 2012.

CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European
Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national
standards may be obtained on application to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre or to any CEN member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation

Foreword
This document (EN 846-7:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 125 “Masonry”,
the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2013, and conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2013.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such
patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 846-7:2000.
There are no major changes from the previous edition although the curing period for the different
types of mortar has been clarified.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the couplet method for determining the horizontal and vertical
shear load resistance and load-deflection behaviour of shear ties and slip ties embedded in mortar
joints. The test is intended for ties for connecting together two leaves of masonry forming a collar
jointed wall or two walls at right angles. It also applies to ties used for connecting the edges of infill
panel walls to frames which encircle them.

3 Principle
One end of the tie is embedded in a mortar joint, typical of the type for which the tie is specified,
between a pair (couplet) of typical masonry units. The tie is then clamped at its free end and
subjected to shear against a reactive support for the couplet. Slip ties may be tested by the same
method.
NOTE The method measures the capacity of the tie alone and does not measure the contribution to the total
shear re
