It's in German, and it's not free, but there it is.

To improve and ease the appropriate and correct use of clay and earth
as a building material and to ensure the ecological quality of this
building material is respected the Dachverband Lehm e.V. published
the "Lehmbau Regeln" in 1999, the first technical building
regulations for building with clay and earth in the European Union.
For the first time since 1971, when then previous relevant DIN
regulations were withdrawn, regulations detailing concrete
construction guidelines for building with earth now exist. The
Fachkommission Baunormung, the expert panel of the cooperative
ARGEBAU, has included the "Lehmbau Regeln" in the list of recognised
model technical building regulations.
