ASTM C618  Standard Specifation for Coal Ash and Raw or Calcined Natural Pozzolan for Use in Concrete.  Note there are 3 classes : Class F (Min 50% Si+Al+Fe oxides and less than 18% CaO), Class C (Min 50% Si+Al+Fe oxides and greater than 18% CaO), Class N Pozzolan.  ASTM is allowing fly ash and bottom ash from fresh production and from stock. Strength activity index specified at 75% of control at 7day or 28days. Water content in mortar mixes are controlled to constant flow (105% of control).

See how fly ash is classified according to 3 classes using CaO: F (< 15 % CaO), CL (15-20 % CaO), and CH (>=20 % CaO). On May 28, 2021, a new amendment to this standard allows harvested ash and bottom ash to be included in this specification provided the material meets all physical and chemical requirements.
