BS EN 459-1:2015 is a European Standard that provides definitions, specifications, and conformity criteria for building lime. The standard applies to building lime used for various purposes including mortar preparation, production of construction products, and civil engineering applications. It categorizes building lime into different types and provides requirements for their chemical and physical properties based on the type.

The standard does not cover terms of delivery or other contractual conditions typically included in agreements between the supplier and the purchaser of building lime. Instead, its focus is on providing a standardized framework for assessing the quality and suitability of building lime for various construction purposes. Compliance with this standard ensures that the building lime meets the specified requirements and can be relied upon for its intended use.
