National foreword
This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of Technical
Committee B/516, Cement and lime. It is the English language version of
EN 196-5:1994 Methods of testing cement — Part 5: Pozzolanicity test for
pozzolanic cement published by the European Committee for Standardization
(CEN). EN 196-5 was drawn up by CEN Technical Committee 51, Cement and
building limes, as Part 5 of a series on testing cement which was originally
accepted by CEN on 15 November 1985 and made available on 12 May 1987. The
UK gave a negative vote at the final voting stage and, under the CEN Rules then
in force, was not obliged to implement this Part. A second formal vote was taken
in November 1992 when the UK again gave a negative vote but, under the CEN
Rules now in force, is obliged to implement this Part. This British Standard
supersedes clause 15 of BS 4550-2:1970 and this clause is now deleted.
In this Part the reference procedure requires the endpoint of titrations to be
determined visually. However, for the standardization of the EDTA solution and
the determination of the calcium oxide concentration a more satisfactory
photometric procedure using the same indicator exists in EN 196-2. In the UK
this photometric endpoint determination, as indicated in National annex NA, is
preferred as an alternative.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
