Standard EN Sample
Specification for Mortar for Masonry, Rendering, and Plastering Mortar
Also Known As:
The BS EN 998-1:2016 standard is a European standard that applies to factory-made rendering/plastering mortars based on inorganic binders. These mortars are used for external rendering and internal plastering on walls, ceilings, columns, and partitions. The standard includes definitions and final performance requirements for these mortars.
The standard also provides a framework for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of the products. It specifies the marking requirements for the products covered by the standard. It does not cover mortars where calcium sulphate binder is the principal active binding agent. However, if air lime is the principal active binding component, the rendering/plastering mortar falls under the scope of this standard.
The standard excludes special fire resistant- and acoustical mortars, mortars for structural repair, surface treatments, paints, coatings, thin-layer organic renders/plasters, and prefabricated units like plasterboards. It also excludes site-made rendering/plastering mortars. However, it can be used in conjunction with codes of application and national specifications for site-made mortars.
