BS EN 1015-12:2000

National foreword

This British Standard is the official English language version of EN 1015-12:2000, which is included in a package of new European Standards being prepared by CEN/TC 125 relating to rendering and plastering mortars for masonry. Although the English text versions of these European Standards will be adopted as British Standards as they become available, the existing British Standard will be retained but only until such time that the complete package of European Standards becomes available.

Any residue(s) from British Standards affected by the package which need to be retained will be drawn together to form a new BS. The original group of British Standards will then be withdrawn and this will be notified in Standards. The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee B/519, Masonry and associated tests, to Subcommittee B/519/2, Mortar, which has the responsibility to:

• aid enquirers to understand the text;
• present to the responsible European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed;
• monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK.

A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request to its secretary. Cross-references referred to in this document may be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the section entitled "International Standards Correspondence Index", or by using the "Find" facility of the BSI Standards Electronic Catalogue. 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.
