This draft East African Standard specifies the methods for the chemical analysis of cement.
The standard describes the reference methods and, in certain cases, an alternative method which can be considered to be equivalent. In the case of dispute, only the reference methods are used.
The standard also describes methods which apply principally to cements, but which can also be applied to their constituent materials and other materials.
An alternative performance-based method using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is described for SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO, MgO, SO3, K2O, Na2O, TiO2, P2O5, Mn2O3, SrO, Cl and Br.
Glaziers' putty, grafting putty, resin cements, caulking compounds and other mastics; painters' fillings (HS code(s): 321410); Construction materials (ICS code(s): 91.100)
