EVS-EN 14216:2015

This European Standard defines and gives the specifications of six distinct very low heat special cement
products and their constituents. The definition of each cement includes the proportions in which the
constituents are to be combined to produce these distinct products in a single strength class having a limited
heat of hydration value. The definition also includes requirements the constituents have to meet and the
mechanical, physical, chemical and heat of hydration requirements for these products. This European
Standard also states the conformity criteria and the related rules. Necessary durability requirements are also
given.
In addition to the specified requirements, an exchange of additional information between the cement producer
and user can be helpful. The procedures for such an exchange are not within the scope of this European
Standard but should be dealt with in accordance with national standards or regulations or can be agreed
between the parties concerned.
NOTE 1 The word "cement" in this European Standard is used to refer to very low heat special cement unless
otherwise indicated.
NOTE 2 The risk of early-age thermal cracking in concrete depends upon the properties and execution and is,
therefore, also dependent on factors other than the heat of hydration of the cement.
