Armourstone - Part 1: Specification
This European Standard specifies the properties of aggregates obtained by processing natural, manufactured or recycled materials and mixtures of these materials for use as armourstone.
A list of the source products that have been considered and are within the scope of this European Standard is given in Annex A.
This European Standard 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.
It incorporates a general requirement that armourstone 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 1 Armourstone used in construction should comply with all the requirements of this European Standard. The standard includes specific requirements for natural armourstone, ferrous and steel making slag and recycled armourstone. For materials from some other secondary sources, however, work is ongoing and the requirements are incomplete. In the meantime, such materials, when placed on the market as armourstone, should comply fully with this European Standard but may also be required to conform to specific relevant additional requirements at the place of use. Additional characteristics and requirements may be specified on a case by case basis depending upon experience of use of the product, and defined in specific contractual documents.
NOTE 2 Finer aggregates than specified in this European Standard are used in hydraulic structures. For such aggregates, European Standards for other end uses of aggregates should be applied.
NOTE 3 Requirements for the declaration of the potential of armourstone 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.

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les caractéristiques des granulats naturels, artificiels et recyclés ou les mélanges de ces granulats destinés à être utilisés comme enrochement.
Une liste des origines des matériaux qui ont été prises en considération et relèvent du domaine d'application de la présente norme est donnée à l'Annexe A (normative).
Les exigences relatives à l’évaluation de la conformité sont spécifiées dans l’EN 16236.
La présente norme intègre une exigence générale stipulant que les granulats ne doivent dégager aucune substance dangereuse dont les valeurs d'émission dépassent les niveaux maximaux admissibles spécifiés dans une Norme européenne pertinente pour le matériau ou dans la réglementation nationale de l'Etat membre de destination.
Les enrochements utilisés dans la construction doivent respecter toutes les exigences de cette Norme européenne concernée. Cette dernière contient les exigences générales et particulières relatives aux enrochements naturels, aux enrochements de laitier de haut fourneau et d'aciérie. Cependant, pour les matériaux provenant d'autres sources secondaires, le travail de normalisation est en cours et les exigences sont incomplètes. En attendant, il convient que ces matériaux, lorsqu'ils sont mis sur le marché en tant qu'enrochements, respectent pleinement la présente norme, mais ils peuvent aussi devoir se conformer à des exigences complémentaires spécifiques pertinentes sur le lieu d'utilisation. Des caractéristiques et des exigences complémentaires peuvent être spécifiées au cas par cas, en fonction de l'expérience acquise à l'usage du produit, et définies dans des documents contractuels spécifiques.
Des granulats plus petits que ceux spécifiés dans la présente Norme européenne sont utilisés dans les ouvrages hydrauliques. Dans ce cas, il convient d'appliquer les Normes européennes « granulats » pour d'autres usages.
Les exigences relatives à la déclaration du potentiel des granulats à relarguer des substances dangereuses réglementées sont actuellement en cours d'élaboration. Tant qu'elles ne sont pas finalisées, il convient de tenir compte des exigences en vigueur sur le lieu d'utilisation.

Source materials considered in the development of EN 13383-1 and their status in respect of the scope of this European Standard The source types listed in this annex have been considered in the preparation of this European Standard. Their status within the standard is indicated in Table A. Source materials not described here are outside the scope of EN 13383-1. Sources with no history of use as armourstone are outside the scope of the standard and should not be used as armourstone in conformity with this standard and are therefore gray shaded in Table A.1. Sources with positive history of use and no identification of the need for additional requirements are fully within the scope of the standard. Sources with a positive history of use and where the need for additional requirements has been identified are provisionally within scope pending the inclusion of suitable test methods and requirements. In all cases there is an obligation to control the potential release of regulated dangerous substances (RDS) in accordance with Member State requirements at the place of use. The information in this annex is based on a comprehensive survey of the use of armourstone from secondary sources in European member states undertaken between 2000 and 2005 and subsequent corrections identified by CEN/TC 154. CEN/TC 154 intends to keep this inventory under continual review. Any relevant information to assist in the updating of this annex including any proposal for the inclusion of new source types should be submitted to the secretariat of CEN/TC 154. In situations where the need for additional requirements has been identified, such materials, when placed on the market as aggregates, shall comply fully with this European Standard but may also be required to comply with specific relevant additional requirements at the place of use. Additional characteristics and requirements may be specified on a case by case basis depending upon experience of use of the product, and defined in specific contractual documents. Under an extension to its Mandate, CEN/TC 154 is currently developing requirements for the declaration of the potential of aggregates to release regulated dangerous substances under Essential Requirement 3. It is anticipated that the source classifications in this annex will be used as the basis of families for the collation of data and the development of source specific requirements for regulated dangerous substances. Any input to this process should be made through the secretariat of CEN/TC 154.

% by mass less than (passing) Figure B.2 — Setting grading limits for non-standard gradings B.2.2 Category B heavy gradings Step 1: Set NUL and NLL in such a way that their mean is close to the design M50 (the median mass, being the mass of the piece or armourstone below which 50 % by mass of the grading lies) derived from hydraulic stability calculation, i.e. 0,5 × (NUL+NLL) ≅ M50. The ratio NUL/NLL should be similar to those of standard heavy gradings of similar M50 (see Table 5 in Clause 4). Step 2: Set ELL = 0,7 × NLL and EUL = 1,5 × NUL (see Figure above). Step 3: Declare the grading as HMBDeclaredNLL/NUL and provide a table similar to Table 5 giving: SIST EN 13383-1:2013
the class limits NUL, EUL to definitions based on minima of 70 % and 97 % (less than by mass) respectively. B.2.3 Category A heavy gradings Steps 1 and 2: Set NLL, NUL, ELL and EUL as given in B.2.1 for a category B grading. Step 3: Set the average mass (excluding fragments), Mem, between a lower limit of 0,8 × (NLL + NUL)/2 and an upper limit of (NLL + NUL)/2. Step 4: Declare the grading as HMADeclaredNLL/NUL and provide a table similar to Table 4 giving the range on average mass (excluding fragments) and: the class limits ELL, NLL to definitions based on maxima of 5 % and 10 % (less than by mass) respectively and
the class limits NUL, EUL to definitions based on minima of 70 % and 97 % (less than by mass) respectively.

Guidance on block integrity C.1 General “Block integrity” is the name given to the property of each block or piece of armourstone indicating its wholeness or, in practical terms, its resistance to breaking apart along flaws or fissures during routine handling, placement and under wave loading in the works. The importance of block integrity increases with the size of the armourstone, becoming the most important mechanical property for heavy armourstone. This annex provides information on methods for the control of block breakage resulting from the presence of significant flaws within pieces of armourstone. As a result of its geological origin and the range in possible methods of extraction, pieces of armourstone may contain natural or blast-in
