EN 197-1:2000

Annex ZA (informative) Provisions for the CE marking of common

cements under the EU Construction Products Directive

ZA.1 Clauses of EN 197-1 addressing the provisions of EU Construction

Products Directive

EN 197-1 and this annex ZA have been prepared under a Mandate 2) given to CEN by
the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.

The clauses of EN 197-1, shown in table ZA.1, meet the requirements of this Mandate
given under the EU Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC).

Compliance with these clauses confers a presumption of fitness of common cements

covered by EN 197-1 for the intended use(s) under consideration in table ZA.2.

WARNING Other requirements and other EU Directives, not affecting the fitness for
intended use(s), can be applicable to a construction product falling within the scope of
EN 197-1.

There may be requirements on dangerous substances applicable to the products

falling within the scope of EN 197-1 (e.g. transposed European legislation and national
laws, regulations and administrative provisions). In order to meet the provisions of the
EU Construction Products Directive, these requirements need also to be complied
with, when and where they apply. Note: an informative database of European and
national provisions on dangerous substances is available at the Construction website
on EUROPA (CREATE, accessed through http://europa.eu.int).
