Specification for masonry units - Part 3: Aggregate concrete masonry units (Dense and lightweight aggregates)
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 771-3 standard sets out the requirements and characteristics for aggregate concrete masonry units made from dense and lightweight aggregates, or a combination of both. These units are primarily used for common, facing, or exposed masonry in load-bearing and non-load-bearing applications in building and civil engineering.
The standard covers various types of units, including those suitable for single leaf, external leaf to chimneys, cavity walls, partitions, retaining walls, and basements. These units offer a range of benefits such as fire protection, thermal insulation, sound insulation, and sound absorption.
In addition to defining the performance requirements related to factors like strength, density, and dimensional accuracy, the standard also includes provisions for evaluating and ensuring the constancy of performance of the product. This is done through the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP).
Furthermore, the standard specifies the marking requirements for products covered by this European Standard, ensuring that they are appropriately labeled for easy identification and compliance.
