Lightweight aggregates for construction works - Characteristics

This document specifies the characteristics of lightweight aggregates (LWA) and LWA fillers and mixtures of them intended to be used in concrete, mortar and grout, bituminous mixtures, surface treatments and for unbound and hydraulically bound applications in construction works.
This document covers LWA and LWA fillers from mineral materials having particle densities less or equal to 2000 kg/m3 (2,000 Mg/m3) or loose bulk densities less or equal to 1200 kg/m3 (1,200 Mg/m3).
With regard to the aggregate size, this document covers LWA: fine lightweight aggregate (see 3.1.7), coarse lightweight aggregate (hereafter called coarse LWA) (see 3.1.8), all-in lightweight aggregate (hereafter called all-in LWA) (see 3.1.9) and LWA fillers (see 3.1.10).
With regard to the material source and production technique, this document covers LWA and LWA fillers:
a)   of natural origin (see 3.1.2),
b)   manufactured from natural materials (see 3.1.3),
c)   manufactured from by-products of industrial processes (see 3.1.4) or from recycled source materials (see 3.1.5), and
d)   as by-products of industrial processes (see 3.1.4).
Limits given to densities are related to some test methods which might not be applicable to some lightweight aggregates and lightweight aggregate fillers. This limitation is purely based on technical reasons and not to exclude any products from the market.
This document also specifies procedures for assessment and verification of constancy (AVCP) of performance of characteristics of LWA and LWA fillers.
This document does not cover LWA and LWA fillers of recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste and Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator Bottom Ash (MIBA) (covered by prEN 17555-1:2021).

Dieses Dokument legt die Eigenschaften von leichten Gesteinskörnungen (LWA, en: lightweight aggregates) und leichten Füllern sowie Mischungen davon fest, die für Beton, Mörtel und Einpressmörtel, bituminöse Gemische, Oberflächenbehandlungen sowie für ungebundene und hydraulisch gebundene Anwendungen in Bauwerken verwendet werden.
Dieses Dokument erfasst leichte Gesteinskörnungen und leichte Füller aus mineralischem Material mit einer Rohdichte von höchstens 2 000 kg/m3 (2,000 Mg/m3) oder einer Schüttdichte von höchstens 1 200 kg/m3 (1,200 Mg/m3).
Im Hinblick auf die Korngruppe erfasst dieses Dokument folgende leichte Gesteinskörnungen: feine leichte Gesteinskörnungen (siehe 3.1.7), grobe leichte Gesteinskörnungen (nachfolgend grobe LWA genannt) (siehe 3.1.8), kombinierte leichte Gesteinskörnungen (nachfolgend kombinierte LWA genannt) (siehe 3.1.9) und leichte Füller (siehe 3.1.10).
Im Hinblick auf den Ursprung des Materials und das Herstellungsverfahren erfasst dieses Dokument leichte Gesteinskörnungen und leichte Füller
a)   natürlichen Ursprungs (siehe 3.1.2);
b)   hergestellt aus natürlichem Material (siehe 3.1.3);
c)   hergestellt aus Nebenprodukten aus industriellen Prozessen (siehe 3.1.4) oder aus Recycling Ausgangsmaterialien (siehe 3.1.5); und
d)   als Nebenprodukte aus industriellen Prozessen (siehe 3.1.4).
Die Grenzwerte der Dichten stehen in Zusammenhang mit einigen Prüfverfahren, die auf einige leichte Gesteinskörnungen und leichte Füller nicht anwendbar sein könnten. Diese Begrenzung ist rein technisch bedingt und beabsichtigt nicht, Produkte vom Markt auszuschließen.
Dieses Dokument legt darüber hinaus Verfahren zur Bewertung und Überprüfung der Leistungsbeständigkeit (AVCP) der Eigenschaften leichter Gesteinskörnungen und leichter Füller fest.
Dieses Dokument erfasst keine leichten Gesteinskörnungen und leichten Füller aus rezyklierten Gesteinskörnungen aus Bau  und Rückbauabfällen sowie aus Hausmüllverbrennungsasche (HMV Asche) (erfasst von prEN 17555-1:2021).

Les limites indiquées pour les masses volumiques sont liées à certaines méthodes d’essai qui ne sont pas nécessairement applicables à certains granulats légers et à certains fillers légers. Cette limitation est purement basée sur des raisons techniques et ne vise pas à exclure des produits du marché.
Le présent document spécifie également les procédures d’Évaluation et de vérification de la constance des performances (EVCP) des caractéristiques des granulats légers et des fillers légers.
Ce document ne couvre pas les granulats légers et fillers légers fabriqués à partir de granulats recyclés issus des débris de construction, de démolition et des Mâchefers d’incinération des déchets non dangereux (MIDND) (couverts par la prEN 17555-1:2021).

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the properties of lightweight aggregates and fillers derived thereof obtained
by processing natural or manufactured materials and mixtures of these aggregates for concrete, mortar and
grout, bituminous mixtures and surface treatments and for unbound and hydraulically bound applications for
construction works.
This European Standard covers lightweight aggregates of mineral origin having particle densities not
3 3 3 3
exceeding 2000 kg/m (2,000 Mg/m ) or loose bulk densities not exceeding 1200 kg/m (1,200 Mg/m )
including:
a) natural lightweight aggregates;
b) lightweight aggregates manufactured from natural materials;
c) lightweight aggregates manufactured from by-products of industrial processes or from recycled materials;
d) lightweight aggregates as by-products of industrial processes.
A list of the source materials that have been considered and are within the scope of this standard is given in
Annex A (normative).
NOTE 1 Recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste and Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator Bottom
Ash (MIBA) are covered by standards EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 and EN 13242.
Some lightweight aggregates for specific applications are covered in separate European product standards
(Annex B, normative).
This standard incorporates a general requirement that aggregates shall 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.

NOTE 2 Requirements for the declaration of the potential of aggregates to release regulated dangerous substances
are currently under development. Until such time as these are finalised attention should be paid to requirements at the
place of use.
This standard also specifies that a quality control system is in place for use in factory production control and it
provides for the evaluation of conformity of the products to this European Standard.

The requirements specified in this standard may not be equally relevant to all types of lightweight aggregates.
For particular applications the requirements and tolerances can be adapted for the end use.
