CEN/TR 196-4:2007

This European Technical Report describes procedures for determining the contents of most of the constituents of the cements that fall within the scope of EN 197-1. In principle, the method described in Clause 6 applies to all cements, whatever the number and nature of their constituents, but in practice is limited to the cements identified in Table 1. The method in clause 6 should be considered to be the method of choice and is based on a sequential selective dissolution of the cement’s constituents, generally of an unknown number, where they are not available separately for analysis at the same time as the cement.
