Portland cement CEM I with CE marking — what importers ask for

CEM I 42.5 and 52.5, N and R, EN 197-1 and CE: the points that decide whether a lot can enter a European job site.

Construction buyers do not buy “cement” in the abstract. They buy a strength class, a setting behaviour and a paper trail that the site engineer will accept.

The usual European ask

For structural and infrastructure work the common request is CEM I (Portland cement) in 42.5 or 52.5, ordinary (N) or rapid (R), produced to EN 197-1 and placed on the market with CE marking. Without those, the cargo may sit in the yard.

  • Type: CEM I
  • Strength: 42.5 or 52.5
  • N or R
  • Declaration of performance and mill documents

What we do

Saltiwa arranges CEM I from plants we work with — including state producers — and checks documents before shipment. Volumes and packing (bags or bulk) are agreed per contract. Start on the cement page with the class you need and the delivery country.
