EN 14647:2005 – Calcium aluminate cement – Composition, specifications and conformity criteria

1 Scope
This European Standard gives a general definition of calcium aluminate cement and its composition. It includes requirements for the mechanical, physical and chemical properties and also states the conformity criteria and the related rules.
Calcium aluminate cement used as a constituent material of formulated mixes for specific applications (e.g. dry mixes) is outside the scope of this European Standard.
NOTE Guidance for the correct use of calcium aluminate cement in concrete and mortars is given in Annex A.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
autocontrol testing
continual testing by the manufacturer of cement spot samples taken at the point(s) of release from the factory/depot
3.2
control period
period of production and dispatch identified for the evaluation of the autocontrol test results
3.3
characteristic value
value of a required property outside of which lies a specified percentage, the percentile P k of all the values of the population
3.4
specified characteristic value
characteristic value of a mechanical, physical or chemical property which in the case of an upper limit is not to be exceeded or in the case of a lower limit is, as a minimum, to be reached
3.5
single result limit values
value of a mechanical, physical or chemical property which – for any single test result – in the case of an upper limit is not to be exceeded or in the case of a lower limit is, as a minimum, to be reached
