BS EN 998-1:2016 is applicable to factory-made rendering/plastering mortars based on inorganic
binders for external (rendering) and internal (plastering) use on walls, ceilings, columns and partitions.It contains definitions and final performance requirements.This European Standard provides for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance
(AVCP) of the product to this European Standard. The marking requirement for products covered by
this European Standard is included.It does not cover mortars where calcium sulphate binder is the principal active binding agent.Calcium sulphate binder can be used as an additional binder together with air lime. If air lime is the
principal active binding component, the rendering/plastering mortar is covered by this European
Standard. If the calcium sulphate binder is the principal active binding component, the mortar is
covered by EN 13279.Special fire resistant- and acoustical mortars, mortars for structural repair and surface treatments of
building elements such as materials for smoothing or trueing, paints, coatings, thin-layer organic
renders/plasters and prefabricated units (e.g. plasterboards) are not dealt with in this European
Standard.This European Standard covers rendering/plastering mortars defined in Clause 3 with the exception of
site-made rendering/plastering mortars. However, this European Standard or part of this European
Standard may be used in conjunction with codes of application and national specifications covering sitemade
mortar.Cross References:EN 1015-2EN 1015-7EN 1015-9EN 1015-10EN 1015-11EN 1015-12EN 1015-18EN 1015-19EN 1015-21EN 1745:2012EN 13501-1EN 1015-1EN 1015-6EN 13279FprCEN/TR 168862003/424/ECEN ISO 9001ISO 9001All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
