4 Classification
4.1 Exposure classes related to environmental actions
Table 1 of DIN EN 206-1 is replaced by the following table. In particular, corrosion due to wear is now taken into account
(see 7).
Table 1: Exposure classes
Class Description of environment Examples where exposure classes may occur
1 No risk of corrosion or attack

Exposure class X0 may be used for components without reinforcement or embedded metal in a non-
aggressive environment
For concrete without Foundations without reinforcement and not subjected to

reinforcement or freeze/thaw attack; interior components without
embedded metal: All reinforcement
environmental actions
except freeze/thaw,
abrasion or chemical attack
2 Corrosion of reinforcement induced by carbonation

Where concrete containing reinforcement or other embedded metal is exposed to air and moisture, the
exposure shall be classified as follows:
NOTE 1: The moisture conditions relate to those in the concrete cover to reinforcement or other embedded
metal, but in many cases, conditions in the concrete cover can be taken as being the same as those of
the ambient conditions. However, this may not be the case if there is a barrier between the concrete and
its environment.
Dry or permanently wet Components in rooms with normal air humidity (including
kitchens, bathrooms, laundries in residential buildings);
concrete permanently submerged in water
Wet, rarely dry Parts of water tanks; foundation members

Moderately humid Components to which outside air constantly or frequently has
access (e.g. open shed-type buildings), rooms with a highly
humid atmosphere (e.g. commercial kitchens, baths,
laundries, damp rooms of indoor swimming pools, byres)
Cyclic wet and dry External concrete components exposed to rain
3 Corrosion of reinforcement, induced by chlorides other than from sea water

Where concrete containing reinforcement or other embedded metal is subject to contact with water
containing chloride, including de-icing agents, from sources other than sea water, the exposure shall be
classified as follows:
Moderately humid Components exposed to airborne chlorides from trafficked

areas, private garages
Wet, rarely dry Salt water baths; components exposed to industrial waters
containing chlorides
Cyclic wet and dry Parts of bridges frequently exposed to splashing; pavements;
car park slabs
(continued)

DIN 1045-2 : 2001-07
Table 1 (continued)
4 Corrosion of reinforcement, induced by chlorides from sea water

Where concrete containing reinforcement or other embedded metal is subject to contact with chlorides from
sea water or air carrying salt originating from sea water, the mode of exposure shall be classified as follows:
Exposure to airborne salt External components near to the coast

but no direct contact with
sea water
Submerged Permanently submerged components in harbours

Tidal, splash and spray Quay walls
zones
5 Freeze/thaw attack, with or without de-icing agents

Where concrete is exposed to significant attack by freeze/thaw cycles whilst wet, the exposure shall be
classified as follows:
Moderate water saturation, External components

Subject to the specifications of subclause 9.5, type I and type II additions
shall be used in the same quantities as in initial testing.
Type II additions as specified in sublause 5.1.6 may be taken into account
when calculating the cement content and the water/cement ratio provided

NOTE: Proof of suitability of other additions may take the form of an
agrément.
5.2.5.2 k-value concept
The following wording shall be substituted:
5.2.5.2.1 General
The k-value concept permits type II additions to be taken into account:
– by replacing the term ‘water/cement ratio’ (defined in sub-
clause 3.1.31 of DIN EN 206-1) with ‘equivalent water/cement ratio’,
(w/c) eq, (defined in subclause 3.1.52), obtained as follows:
either (w/c)eq = w/(c + kf f);
or (w/c) eq = w/(c + kss);
or (w/c) eq = w/(c + kf f + kss);
– by inclusion in the minimum cement content requirement (see
sublause 5.3).
The actual value of k depends on the specific addition. The application of
the k-value concept for fly ash conforming to DIN EN 450 or covered by an
agrément, or for silica fume, is given in the following clauses.
If fly ash or silica fume is taken into account under the conditions stated
in subclauses 5.2.5.2.2 to 5.2.5.2.4, the minimum cement content as a
function of the exposure class, as specified in subclause 5.3.2 and line 3
of tables F.2.1 and F.2.2, may be reduced to that given in line 4 of the same
tables.
5.2.5.2.2 k-value concept for fly ash conforming to DIN EN 450

If fly ash is taken into account when calculating the minimum cement
content, the latter may be reduced to that given in line 4 of tables F.2.1 and
Page 14
DIN 1045-2 : 2001-07
F.2.2 for all exposure classes except XF2 and XF4, provided that one of the
following types of cement is used:
– Portland cement (CEM I);
– Portland silica fume cement (CEM II/A-D);
– Portland slag cement (CEM II/A-S or CEM II/B-S);
– Portland burnt shale cement (CEM II/A-T or CEM II/B-T);
– Portland limestone cement (CEM II/A-LL);
– blastfurnace cement (CEM III/A);
– blastfurnace cement (CEM III/B up to 70 % (m/m) of granulated
blastfurnace slag, provided its composition is established as specified
in DIN EN 197-1).
The combined cement and fly ash content (c + f) shall not exceed the
minimum cement content from line 3 of tables F.2.1 and F.2.2.
Subclause 5.2.5.2.5 shall be taken into account when using Portland silica
fume cement.
For all exposure classes with the exception of XF2 and XF4, a maximum
permitted equivalent water/cement ratio, k f, equal to 0,4 may be used
instead of the maximum permitted water/cement ratio from tables F.2.1
and F.2.2.
The maximum fly ash content, f/c, that may be taken into account shall be
not more than 33 % (m/m).
If a greater amount of fly ash is used, the excess shall not be taken into
account when calculating the equivalent water/cement ratio.
When making concrete with a high sulfate resistance, a mixture of cement
and fly ash may be used instead of high-sulfate cement to DIN 1164
providing the following conditions are met:
a) the sulfate content of the aggressive water is not more than
1 500 mg/l;
b) the cement is of type CEM I, CEM II/A-S, CEM II/B-S, CEM II/A-T,
CEM II/B-T, CEM II/A-LL or CEM III/A;
c) the fly ash content, referred to the combined cement and fly ash
content (c + f), shall be at least 20 % (m/m) for cement types CEM I,
CEM II/A-S, CEM II/B-S and CEM II/A-LL and at least 10 % (m/m) for
cement types CEM II/A-T, CEM II/B-T and CEM III/A;
d) fly ash whose total alkali content determined as specified in
DIN EN 196-21 and expressed as the sodium oxide equivalent is not
more than 4 % (m/m) may also be used with aggregate of alkali-reaction
classes E II and E III and for moisture classes WF and WA from the
DAfStb-Richtlinie Alkalireaktion im Beton.
Subclause 5.3.4 of this standard shall apply with regard to the use of fly
ash in underwater concrete.
5.2.5.2.3 k-value concept for silica fume

The silica fume content shall be not more than 11 % (m/m) of the cement
content.
If silica fume is taken into account when calculating the minimum cement
content, the latter may be reduced to the level specified in line 4 of
tables F.2.1 and F.2.2 for all exposure classes except XF2 and XF4,
provided that one of the following types of cement is used:
– Portland cement (CEM I);
– Portland slag cement (CEM II/A-S or CEM II/B-S);
– Portland pozzolana cement (CEM II/A-P, CEM II/B-P);
– Portland fly ash cement (CEM II/A-V);
– Portland burnt shale cement (CEM II/A-T or CEM II/B-T);
– Portland limestone cement (CEM II/A-LL);
– Portland composite cement (CEM II/B-M (S-V));
– blastfurnace cement (CEM III/A, CEM III/B).
The combined cement and silica fume content (c + s) shall be not less than
the minimum cement content from line 3 of tables F.2.1 and F.2.2.
For all exposure classes with the exception of XF2 and XF4, the equivalent
water/cement ratio (equal to unity) may be used instead of the water/
cement ratio.
Page 15
DIN 1045-2 : 2001-07
5.2.5.2.4 k-value concept for combinations of fly ash and silica fume
A new subclause 5.2.5.2.4 is added:
If fly ash and silica fume are used in combination, the silica fume content
shall be not more than 11 % (m/m) of the cement.
If both fly ash and silica fume are taken into account when calculating the
minimum cement content, the latter may be reduced to the level specified
in line 4 of tables F.2.1 and F.2.2 for all exposure classes except XF2 and
XF4, provided that the combined content of cement, fly ash and silica fume
(c + f + s) is not less than the minimum cement content from line 3 of
tables F.2.1 and F.2.2.
The specifications of subclause 5.2.5.2.5 shall be taken into account to
ensure that the pore solution is sufficiently alkaline.
For all exposure classes with the exception of XF2 and XF4, the equivalent
water/cement ratio, (w/c)eq, obtained as w/(c + 0,4f + 1,0s), may be used
instead of the water/cement ratio from tables F.2.1 and F.2.2, provided
that the maximum fly ash content is not more than 33 % (m/m) of the
cement and the maximum silica fume is not more than 11 % by total mass
of the cement.
If a greater amount of fly ash is used, the excess shall not be taken into
account when calculating the equivalent water/cement ratios, kf (equal to
0,4) and k s (equal to unity).
5.2.5.2.5 Alkalinity reserve of the pore solution

A new subclause 5.2.5.2.5 is added:
In order to ensure that the pore solution is sufficiently alkaline, cement
consisting of CEM I, fly ash and silica fume shall have a maximum fly ash
content, f/c, equal to 3 (0,22 – s/c), expressed as a percentage by mass.
In the case of types CEM II-S, CEM II/A-D, CEM II-T, CEM II/A-LL and
CEM III/A cement, the maximum fly ash content, f/c, shall be 3 (0,15 – s/c),
expressed as a percentage by mass.
The use of fly ash and silica fume in combination is not permitted for other
types of cement.
In view of the need to ensure the alkalinity reserve of the pore solution type
CEM II/A-D cement containing fly ash shall be taken to have a silica fume
content of 10 % (m/m).
5.2.5.3 Equivalent concrete performance concept

The fourth paragraph is replaced by the following:
The principle may only be used in connection with agréments or European
Technical Approvals (cf. note 2 to subclause 5.2.5.1 of DIN EN 206-1).
5.2.6 Use of admixtures

Two paragraphs are added after the first paragraph:
A specific check of the admixture content is not necessary in cases where
concrete contains more than one type of admixture and the total admixture
content is not more than 60 g per kilogram of cement (including the
additions that are taken into account in calculations of the cement
content).
For high-strength concrete, the maximum permitted content of plastifying
admixtures shall be 70 g per kilogram or 70 ml per kilogram of cement.

concrete with cement of higher standard strength if the properties of
the constituent materials (e.g. aggregate composition, cement
standard strength) are known to be within the usual range;
– concrete containing high-range water-reducing/superplasticizing
admixtures, in which case the results obtained during initial testing of
the same concrete not containing admixtures may be taken into
account if a positive result has already been obtained with another type
of concrete containing the same admixtures and the same cement and
if the properties of the constituent materials (e.g. aggregate
composition) are known to be within the usual range.
For high-strength concrete, only the same constituent materials may be
used with which initial testing was carried out (i.e. they shall be of the same
type, producer and source). The range of tolerances of the properties to be
tested (cf. tables 22 and H.1 of DIN EN 206-1) shall be agreed between the

C.2 Tasks for the inspection body

C.2.1 Initial assessment of production control
A new second paragraph is added:
If a mobile facility changes location after inspection, it shall be checked in
the first routine inspection that no essential changes have taken place
since the initial inspection.
The note is replaced by the following *):
NOTE: On the basis of this report, the accredited certification body will
decide on the certification of the concrete (see C.3.1).
C.2.2.1 Routine inspection

The seventh paragraph is supplemented by the following:
The check shall be carried out by the inspection body at least once a year
or whenever there are major changes in production conditions.
C.2.2.2 Extraordinary inspections

The following shall be added to the text after the fourth dash:
An extraordinary inspection shall also be requested if the results from
production control do not seem plausible.
The results of compressive strength testing shall be examined for
plausibility from three aspects:
– For initial production:
Plausibility of the conformity assessment of initial production as in line 2
of table 14 of DIN EN 206-1.
Where at least 35 individual results have been obtained for conformity
assessment of initial production, the mean and standard deviation of these
results, fcm and s, respectively, shall be calculated.
– For continuous production:
Plausibility of the conformity assessment of continuous production as in
line 3 of table 14 of DIN EN 206-1.
For both initial production and continuous production, plausibility of the
compressive strength test results shall be assumed if a check of the
normal distribution of the compressive strength test results gives a
positive result and the standard deviation appears plausible.
– Plausibility of the compatibility of results of third-party inspection with
those of production control: If the inspection body takes samples for
compressive strength tests, the results shall be checked for compatibility
with the results from production control. The plausibility of the results shall
be assumed if the check for compatibility gives a positive result.
Page 26
DIN 1045-2 : 2001-07
NOTE: The check for normal distribution should always be supplemented

by an analysis of the data in the probability net. If the check for normal
distribution gives a negative result, the presentation in the probability
net may indicate the form this deviation has taken, which, in certain
circumstances, may enable the causes for deviation from normal
distribution to be inferred.
The consistence test results are plausible if stiffening is taken into account
over the whole anticipated transportation time and if the increase in the
quantity of water required at elevated temperature whilst maintaining a
constant water/cement ratio is taken into account.
C.3 Tasks for certification body

C.3.1 Certification of production control
The heading and text of the clause are replaced by the following *):
C.3.1 Certification of concrete
The certification body certifies the concrete on the basis of a report from
the inspection body, that states that the production unit has passed the
initial check of the production control to the satisfaction of the inspection
body and the concrete meets the requirements specified in this standard.
It shall be the responsibility of the certification body to decide on any
further validity of the certificate on the basis of the reports of the
continuous surveillance of production control.
C.3.2 Measures in case of non-conformity

The third paragraph, including the note, is replaced by the following:
If the extraordinary inspection results in failure, the certification body shall
immediately declare the certificate of conformity to be invalid, and the
inspection body shall terminate surveillance of production control. The
certification body will notify the producer accordingly that his certificate
is no longer valid.
Following declaration that the certificate is no longer valid, the producer
shall no longer be able to refer to the certificate of conformity.
A fifth paragraph is added:
The certification body shall apply a documented system to assess the
cases of non-conformity established during the course of routine and
extraordinary inspections. This system shall take into account the gravity
of deviations, their cumulation and their distribution as a function of time.

Concrete families
K.2 Selection of concrete family
The recommendations of K.2 are given normative character.
The text after the fifth dash in the first paragraph is supplemented by the following:
Concrete of compressive strength classes C8/10 to C50/60 or LC8/9 to
LC50/55 shall be divided into at least two concrete families.
An informative Annex L is added as follows.
Annex L (informative)
Particle size analysis
The particle size analysis of the aggregate is characterized by grading curves (cf. figures L.1 to L.4) and, where
necessary, by a related parameter representing particle size distribution or water requirement.
The composition of size fractions and aggregages is to be determined as specified in sieving tests to
DIN EN 933-1 with test sieves conforming to DIN ISO 3310-1 or DIN ISO 3310-2. The grading curves may be
discontinuous or steady.
Figures L.1 to L.4 show the following ranges:
1) Coarse
2) Gap-graded
3) Coarse to medium coarse
4) Medium coarse to fine
5) Fine
