Natural Stone - Rough Blocks - Requirements
Also Known As:
The precise requirements that uncut natural stone blocks must satisfy in order to be used for building or memorial stones, as well as other related uses, are set forth in the DIN EN 1467 standard. It is significant to note that the installation procedure and artificially agglomerated stony materials are not covered by this standard.
The standard aims to ensure that unfinished natural stone blocks used for building or memorial purposes adhere to the relevant performance and quality standards. It strives to improve the end items' sturdiness, safety, and aesthetic appeal by establishing certain guidelines. The rules for choosing, testing, and classifying rough blocks to evaluate their suitability for diverse uses are provided by this standard, which only applies to rough blocks.
The natural stone blocks are sourced with the desired qualities, such as the required size, low porosity, high compressive strength, and resistance to weathering and other environmental variables, thanks to the DIN EN 1467 standard. This standard aids in creating a set of uniform requirements that producers, suppliers, and buyers in the natural stone sector can utilize to guarantee the consistency of rough blocks' quality.
