Cement
The current British and European Standard for the 27 types of
common cement available in Europe is:
- BS EN 197-1: 2000. Cement Composition,
specifications and conformity criteria for common cements.
In addition there are British Standards still current for those
cements not covered by BS EN 197-1. Notably:
- BS 4027: 1996 Specification for
sulfate-resisting Portland cement.
The current British and European standard for masonry cement is
BS EN 413-1:2004
All of these product specifications are supported by
standardised test methods in the BS EN 196-series.
