TS EN 459-1
Building lime - Part 1: Definitions, specifications and conformity criteria
This European Standard applies to building lime used for:
-preparation of binder for mortar (for example for masonry, rendering and plastering);
-production of other construction products (for example calcium silicate bricks, autoclaved aerated concrete, concrete, etc.);
-civil engineering applications (for example soil treatment, asphalt mixtures, etc.).

About This Item
TS EN 459-1 is the standard that defines building lime through its terms, core characteristics and conformity criteria. Building lime is a lime-based binder family used in mortars, in the manufacture of construction products, and in certain civil engineering applications. The document’s main role is to give a common technical framework for identifying the material and understanding where it is intended to be used.
Where building lime is used
The standard covers three main application areas: as a binder in mortar preparation; in the production of other construction products such as calcium silicate bricks, autoclaved aerated concrete and concrete; and in civil engineering uses such as soil treatment and asphalt mixtures. This distinction matters because the function of lime is not identical in every context. In mortar, workability and binding behaviour are central, while in manufactured products the reaction profile and compatibility with production processes become important, and in soil applications the emphasis shifts to engineering performance contributions.
How definitions, properties and conformity fit together
The value of this kind of standard lies in providing a shared technical language that prevents the same material from being described inconsistently. The definitions section sets the boundaries of the concepts associated with building lime, the specifications identify the technical characteristics used to distinguish product types, and the conformity criteria create the framework for assessing whether the material is suitable for the intended use. Detailed test methods and measurement provisions are addressed through the related standards referenced by this document.
- This standard belongs to the TS EN 459 family and focuses on building lime.
- Its scope is not limited to mortars; it also includes manufactured construction products and civil engineering applications.
- It is intended to be read together with the related referenced standards for terminology and assessment.
- This edition is withdrawn, but it remains useful for understanding the technical classification of building lime.
