What is BS EN 13263-2 - conformity evaluation of silica fume about?
Silica fume is used in concrete to increase its strength and durability. BS EN 13263-2 is a European Standard that discusses silica fume for concrete.
BS EN 13263-2 is the second part of the multi-series, and specifies the scheme for the evaluation of conformity of silica fume to EN 13263-1, including certification of conformity by a certification body.
Who is BS EN 13263-2 - conformity evaluation of silica fume for?
BS EN 13263-2 on conformity evaluation of silica fume is useful for:
- The ferrosilicon industry
- Manufacturers of silica fume
- The concrete industry
- Builders / real estate developers / architects
- Building / construction / civil engineers
- Contractors
- Product development / innovation teams
- Quality control personnel

Why should you use BS EN 13263-2 - conformity evaluation of silica fume?
Silica fume is added to Portland cement concrete to improve its properties, in particular its compressive strength, bond strength, and abrasion resistance.
BS EN 13263-2 provides technical rules for production control by the manufacturer, including auto control testing of samples, and for the role of the certification body. BS EN 13263-2 also provides rules for actions to be followed in the event of non-conformity and the procedure for the certification of conformity.
In this regard, BS EN 13263-2 walks you through the auto control testing of samples, evaluation of the results of auto control testing of samples, procedure for third-party certification of conformity, certificate of conformity, and the conformity mark.
BS EN 13263-2 helps you to enhance the mechanical and durability properties of concrete and get the certification for your product.
