BS EN 459-1:2001 Building lime. Definitions, specifications and conformity criteria
This European Standard applies to building limes used as binders for preparation of mortar (for masonry, rendering and
plastering) and production of other construction products.

It gives definitions for the different types of building limes and their classification. It also gives requirements for their
chemical and physical properties which depend on the type of building lime and specifies the conformity criteria.

Terms of delivery or other contractual conditions, normally included in documents exchanged between the supplier and
the purchaser of lime, are outside the scope of this European Standard.

NOTE Additional requirements are needed in special applications e. g. civil engineering.

BS EN 459-2:2001 Building lime. Test methods
This European Standard describes the test methods for all building limes covered by EN 459-1:2001.

This European Standard describes reference test methods and in some cases alternative test methods. In the event
of a dispute, only the reference method is used.

If methods other than the following are used it is necessary to show that they give results equivalent to those given
by the reference methods.
