ABSTRACT
Part 1: Common cements, is about to be published as an ENV. Work has also started on upgrading this ENV to an EN. When EN197-1 is published, the cement standards BS12[5], BS146[6], BS4246[7], BS6588[8], BS6610[9] and BS7583[10] will be withdrawn. Part 2: Conformity evaluation, has been agreed as an ENV, but it will be some months before the translations are completed and it is published. Part XX. Calcium aluminate cement, will be sent for CEN enquiry as an ENV in the near future. CEN enquiry is where the CEN members are asked to indicate if they will give the standard a positive vote when formally asked and if not, the changes they would need before they will give a positive vote. The other parts of prEN 197 are at the discussion or early drafting stages.
