This cement is widely\nused for blockwork, bricklaying, and plastering. The masonry cement boosts the\nbond strength, workability, and durability of the mortar. It also prevents\nwater from seeping in, making it highly suitable for areas where moisture\nprevails. Overall, masonry cement serves as a demanding material for projects\nrequiring reliable and strong mortar. Those who are planning to engage in the\nproduction of masonry cement must secure the BIS certification beforehand.

Air-entraining plasticizers and gypsum are also required\nin apt proportions. The fineness of this cement is higher than that of Ordinary\nPortland cement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As per the standard, the\nmasonry cement must adhere to the physical norms cited therein when subjected\nto prescribed tests. It is the onus of the cement producer to follow the\nstandard\u2019s norms. Also, the manufacturer should take good care of the in-house\nlab where standard tests are carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tests_to_Qualify_For_BIS_Certification_for_Masonry_Cement\"><\/span>Tests to Qualify For BIS Certification for Masonry Cement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The specified sample of masonry cement shall be subjected to the following tests to determine its quality.

The standard specifies how marking and labelling should be carried out before dispatching the product to the buyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each bag or drum containing masonry cement should bear the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/isi-mark-certification\">ISI marking<\/a><\/strong>. This condition doesn\u2019t apply to the product that fails to meet the underlying specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of ISI marking depends on whether or not the manufacturer has <strong>BIS<\/strong><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bis.gov.in\/\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup> approval in the form of certification. This BIS accords the ISI certification after inspecting the application, documents, and production premise.
