DIN EN 771-5 PDF Download

The DIN EN 771-5 standard outlines the characteristics and performance requirements for manufactured stone masonry units used in various building and civil engineering applications. These units are primarily used for facing or exposed masonry, and can be used in load bearing or non-load bearing applications. They are suitable for different types of masonry walling, including single leaf, cavity, partition, retaining walls, and external masonry to chimneys.

The standard covers manufactured stone masonry units that resemble natural stone, which are produced using casting or pressing techniques. These units can have textured surfaces achieved through various methods such as casting, splitting, washing, blasting, or tooling. The units can be homogeneous or consist of different facing and backing concrete mixes, but they exclude units manufactured with an adhesive bonded decorative face.

DIN EN 771-5 defines performance characteristics such as strength, density, dimensional accuracy, and surface appearance. It also provides guidelines for the assessment and verification of the constancy of performance of the product to meet this European standard. The standard includes marking requirements for products covered by it, ensuring clear identification and compliance with the specified standards.
