Standard EN Sample
Aggregates for Concrete
Also Known As:
BS EN 12620:2013 is a standard that specifies the properties of aggregates used in concrete production. It covers aggregates obtained from natural materials, manufactured materials, and recycled materials, as well as mixtures of these aggregates. The standard applies to aggregates used in concrete for various applications, including construction of roads, pavements, and precast concrete products.
The standard sets out requirements for the physical and chemical properties of the aggregates. It includes specifications for particle size, grading, density, water absorption, resistance to fragmentation and wear, and durability. It also includes requirements for evaluating the conformity of the aggregates to the standard.
The standard emphasizes the importance of not exceeding maximum permitted levels of dangerous substances, as specified in relevant European standards or national regulations. It provides guidelines for marking and labeling of the aggregates, and provides a designation system for describing the properties of the aggregates.
