EN 459-2 is the European Standard defining reference test methods for building lime products. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What EN 459-2 Covers
It provides the reference methods used for incoming inspection and conformity of building lime covered by EN 459-1.
How the Test Is Run
Lime samples are tested by the applicable reference methods for the relevant physical and chemical properties, and results are checked against requirements.
Why It Matters
Verified lime properties support consistent mortar and plaster performance; standardized apparatus and controlled procedures are essential.
