This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2007, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2007. This standard forms part of a series of tests for chemical properties of aggregates. Test methods or other properties of aggregates will be covered by Parts of the following European Standards: EN 932 Tests for general properties of aggregates EN 933 Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates EN 1097 Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates EN 1367 Tests for thermal and weathering properties of aggregates EN 13179 Tests for filler aggregate used in bituminous mixtures The other parts of EN 1744 are, or will be: Part 1: Chemical analysis Part 2: Determination of resistance to alkali reaction Part 3: Preparation of eluates by leaching of aggregates Part 4: Determination of water susceptibility of fillers for bituminous mixtures Part 5: Determination of acid soluble chloride salts According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

NOTE A procedure is described in EN 1744-1:1998, clause 15.3, for use with natural aggregates; this procedure is intended to demonstrate and quantify the effects of organic contaminators. It is not suitable for recycled aggregates because these may also contain inorganic contaminators. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard.

The initial setting time of cement mixed with the extract is compared to the initial setting time of the same cement mixed with demineralised water. 7 Sampling The laboratory sample shall be taken in accordance with the procedures specified in EN 932-1. 8 Preparation of test portion Dry the laboratory sample by spreading it over trays and allowing it to air-dry at ambient temperature. Using the procedures specified in EN 932-2 further reduce the dried laboratory sample to produce a test portion of (20 ± 1) kg of aggregate. 9 Procedure 9.1 General For the purpose of the test, two cement paste test specimens are prepared. One of the specimens is prepared to standard consistency using water (4.2). The other specimen is prepared using the same quantity of an aggregate extract as produced (9.2). The initial setting time of both cement paste specimens is determined as specified in EN 196-3. 9.2 Production of the aggregate extract Transfer the test portion, obtained as specified in 8, to the container. Add water (4.2) to the container until the test portion is just covered. Allow the container to stand for 3 h, agitating the contents by turning every 30 min. Decant and filter the extract through the coarse filter paper into the graduated cylinder until at least 150 ml of filtrate has been collected. 9.3 Determination of the standard consistence Determine the standard consistence of the cement in accordance with EN 196-3 by using water (4.2).

Prepare a second cement paste specimen using the same quantity of filtered aggregate extract. NOTE The cement paste specimen prepared using filtered extract may not be exactly at standard consistence. Determine the initial setting time of both cement paste specimens in accordance with EN 196-3. 10 Calculation and expression of results Calculate the influence A of the aggregate extract in terms of minutes difference in initial setting times, using the following equation: A = tw te (1) where: tw is the initial setting time (in minutes) of the cement/water (4.2) paste; te is the initial setting time (in minutes) of the cement/aggregate extract paste. A negative value of A indicates a retarding effect, a positive value an accelerating effect. 11 Test report The test report shall include at least the following: a) reference to this European Standard; b) source of the sample; c) designation of the sample; d) mass of dry sample tested, in grams; e) result of the test; f) date of the test.
