Concrete Paving Blocks - Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1338 standard focuses on the specifications and testing methods for precast concrete paving blocks and their complementary fittings. The standard is applicable to various applications including pedestrian and vehicular use in areas such as footpaths, precincts, cycle tracks, car parks, roads, highways, industrial areas, aircraft pavements, bus stations, and petrol filling stations.
The standard aims to ensure that the materials used in the manufacturing of precast concrete paving blocks meet certain properties and requirements. It covers aspects such as dimensional tolerances, compressive strength, water absorption, and freeze-thaw resistance. Additionally, it outlines the necessary test methods to assess these properties and ensure conformity with the standard.
