Precast Concrete Products - Wood-Chip Concrete Shuttering Blocks - Product Properties and Performance
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 15498 standard provides detailed guidelines for precast concrete products known as wood-chip concrete shuttering blocks. These blocks are used specifically for non-load-bearing applications and may or may not have integrated thermal insulation.
The standard focuses on defining the product properties and performance requirements for these wood-chip concrete shuttering blocks. It sets out the specifications and characteristics that these blocks must meet in terms of dimensions, density, compressive strength, thermal conductivity, water absorption, and fire resistance.
By adhering to this standard, manufacturers of wood-chip concrete shuttering blocks can ensure that their products are of consistent and reliable quality. This not only promotes harmonization and interoperability among different suppliers but also provides confidence to end-users in terms of the performance and durability of the product. Additionally, the standard serves as a valuable reference for architects, engineers, and construction professionals involved in the design and specification of non-load-bearing structures that require shuttering blocks.
