EN 1015 – 18/19

The BAM ( German Federal Institute of Materials Research and Tests ) certified BionicPore to be conform to the European Norm DIN EN 998-1.

The BAM performed the following tests : DIN EN 998-1 Specification for mortar for masonry – Rendering and plastering mortar

  • DIN EN 1015 Methods of test for mortar for masonry
  • Part 18 Determination of water absorption coefficient due to capillary action of hardened mortar
  • Part 19 Determination of water vapour permeability of hardened rendering and plastering mortars

with the following results:
