Silica fume for concrete - Part 1: Definitions, requirements and conformity criteria
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13263-1 standard provides specifications for silica fume, which is a by-product of the smelting process for silicon metal and ferro-silicon alloys. The standard outlines the chemical and physical properties that silica fume must possess in order to be used as a type II addition in concrete or in other mixes such as mortars and grouts. EN 13263-1 also includes conformity criteria and related rules that must be followed.
Silica fume is a material commonly used in concrete to improve its strength, durability, and other properties. This standard ensures that silica fume meets the necessary quality standards and can be safely used in construction applications. By specifying the chemical and physical requirements, the standard ensures consistency and reliability in the performance of concrete made with silica fume.
The DIN EN 13263-1 standard was developed by Technical Committee CEN/TC 104 "Concrete and related products," with DIN serving as the secretariat. This document includes Amendment 1, which was approved by CEN in 2009. It supersedes the previous version of the standard, EN 13263-1:2005.
