Admixtures for concrete, mortar and grout - Part 2: Concrete admixtures - Definitions, requirements, conformity, marking and labelling
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 934-2 standard is a European standard that defines and sets requirements for admixtures used in concrete, mortar, and grout. This particular part of the standard, Part 2, focuses specifically on concrete admixtures.
The standard covers the use of admixtures in various types of concrete, including plain, reinforced, and prestressed concrete. It applies to admixtures used in site mixed concrete, ready mixed concrete, and precast concrete.
The requirements set in this standard are intended for admixtures used in concrete of normal consistence. They may not be applicable to admixtures used in other types of concrete, such as semi-dry mixes or earth-moist mixes.
It is important to note that this standard does not cover the practical application of admixtures in concrete production. It does not provide requirements for the composition, mixing, placing, curing, etc. of concrete containing admixtures. Those provisions are governed by separate standards and are not included in DIN EN 934-2.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure that admixtures used in concrete meet specific performance requirements and are clearly marked and labeled for identification and conformity purposes.
