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British Standards will then be withdrawn and this will be notified in Standards
Update.
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:

Ð aid enquirers to understand the text;

Ð present to the responsible European committee any enquiries on the
interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed;
Ð 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.
