Aggregates for unbound and hydraulically bound materials for use in civil engineering work and road construction

This European Standard specifies the properties of aggregates and filler aggregates obtained by processing natural, manufactured or recycled materials and mixtures of these aggregates for use in hydraulically bound and unbound materials for civil engineering works and road constructions. It covers aggregates having an oven dried particle density greater than 2,0 Mg/m3 (2000Kg/m3). It also covers recycled aggregates with particle densities greater than 1,50 Mg/m3 (1 500 kg/m3) with appropriate caveats and recycled fine aggregate with appropriate caveats. A list of the source materials that have been considered and indicating those which are within the scope of this standard is given in Annex A (normative). Requirements for the evaluation of conformity of the products to this European Standard are given in EN 16236. It incorporates a general requirement that aggregates will not release any dangerous substances in excess of the maximum permitted levels specified in a relevant European Standard for the material or permitted in the national regulations of the member state of destination.
