Care should be taken when considering the use of aggregates from sources with no such pattern of use, e.g.,recycled aggregates and aggregates arising from certain industrial by-products.
Such aggregates, which should comply with allthe requirements of this European Standard, can have other characteristics not included in Mandate M 125 that do not apply tothe generality of aggregates types with an established pattern of use and when required, provisions valid at the place of use canbe used to assess their suitability.NOTE 2Properties for lightweight aggregates are specified in EN 13055-2.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For datedreferences, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard onlywhen incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

When required, the tests specified in clause 4 shall be carried outto determine appropriate geometrical properties.NOTE 1When the value of a property is required but not defined by specified limits the value should be declared by themanufacturer as an XXDeclared category, e.g., in Table 5 a flakiness index of say 60 corresponds to FI60 (Declared value).NOTE 2When a property is not required, a “No requirement” category can be used.NOTE 3Guidance on selection of appropriate categories for specific applications can be found in national provisions in theplace of use of the aggregate.NOTE 4When specified, the requirements for the end-use product should supersede the requirements in this EuropeanStandard (e.g., grading and/or fines content for all-in aggregates).4.2 Aggregates sizesAll aggregates shall be described in terms of aggregate sizes using the designations d/D and shall comply with thegrading requirements specified in 4.3.Aggregate sizes shall be specified using the nominal sizes given in the Table 1 comprising the basic set or thebasic set plus set 1 or the basic set plus set 2. A combination of sieve sizes from set 1 and set 2 is not allowed.Aggregate sizes shall be separated by a ratio between their upper sieve size D and the lower sieve size d of notless than 1,4.

Greater than 90 mm sieve sizes can be used for particular applicationsNOTE 2
Rounded sizes shown in parentheses can be used as simplifieddescriptions of aggregate sizes.4.3 Grading4.3.1 GeneralThe grading of aggregate sizes when determined in accordance with EN 933-1 shall comply with the requirementsof 4.3.2 and 4.3.3 as appropriate to its aggregate size d/D.Combinations of two or more than two adjacent aggregate sizes or all-in aggregates are permitted.NOTEAggregate supplied as a mixture of different sizes or types should be uniformly blended. When aggregates ofsignificantly different density are blended caution is necessary to avoid segregation.When assessing production within a system of factory production control at least 90 % of gradings, taken ondifferent batches within a maximum period of 6 months, shall fall within the limits specified in 4.3.2 and 4.3.3 fortolerances on manufacturers' declared typical gradings.

For aggregate sizes where D is greater than 63 mm (e.g. 80 mm and 90 mm) only the oversize
requirements related to the 1,4 D sieve apply since there is no ISO 565/R20 series sieve above 125 mm.b
Where the sieves calculated as 1,4 D and d/2 are not exact sieve sizes in the ISO 565/R20 series then
the next higher or lower sieve size respectively shall be adopted.c
For special uses additional requirements may be specified.d
The percentage passing D may be greater than 99 % but in such cases the manufacturer shall document and
declare the typical grading including the sieves D, d, d/2 and sieves in the basic set plus set 1 or basic
set plus set 2 intermediate between d and D. Sieves with a ratio less than 1,4 times the next lower sieve
may be excluded.e
Limits for the percentage passing d can be modified to 1 to 15 for GC 85-15 and 1 to 20 for GC 80-20
where necessary to ensure a well graded aggregate.4.3.2Coarse aggregateAll coarse aggregates shall comply with the general grading requirements specified in Table 2 appropriate to theirsize d/D.When required, for graded coarse aggregate where D/d ³ 2, the following additional requirements shall apply forthe percentage passing the mid-size sieve:¾
all gradings shall comply with the overall limits given in Table 3;¾
the manufacturer shall document and, on request, declare the typical grading passing the mid-size sieve.
The
limit deviations shall comply with the requirements of the categories selected in Table 3 according to theparticular
application or end use.For single coarse aggregate where D/d <2, there shall be no requirement additional to those specified in Table 2.

Special precautions are necessary if pyrrhotite, an unstable form of iron sulphide (FeS), is present in the aggregate. Ifthis mineral is known to be present, a maximum total sulphur content of 0,4 % as S should apply.6.4 Other constituents6.4.1 Constituents which alter the rate of setting and hardening of hydraulically bound mixturesAggregates and filler aggregates that contain organic or other substances in proportions that alter the rate ofsetting and hardening of hydraulically bound mixtures shall be assessed for the effect on stiffening time andcompressive strength in accordance with EN 1744-1:1998, 15.3.The proportions of such materials shall be such that they do not:a)increase the stiffening time of mortar test specimens by more than 120 min;b)decrease the compressive strength of mortar test specimens by more than 20 % at 28 days.The presence of organic matter shall be determined in accordance with EN 1744-1:1998, 15.1 (sodium hydroxidetest).
If the results indicate the presence of humic acid, the presence of fulvo acids shall be determined inaccordance with EN 1744-1:1998, 15.2.
If the supernatant liquid in these tests is lighter than the standard coloursthe aggregates shall be considered to be free from organic matter.NOTE 1Some inorganic compounds which discolour the supernatant liquid in the sodium hydroxide test do not adverselyaffect the setting and hardening of hydraulically bound mixtures.NOTE 2Sugars do not affect the colour of the supernatant liquid in the sodium hydroxide test or the fulvo acid test.
If it issuspected that sugars or sugar type materials are present, the aggregate should be tested using the mortar specimen test (seeEN 1744-1:1998, 15.3). The stiffening time and compressive strength requirements shown above should apply.6.4.2 Constituents which affect volume stability of blastfurnace and steel slag for unbound aggregates6.4.2.1 Volume stability of steel slagsWhen required the volume stability of steel slag aggregate shall be determined in accordance withEN 1744-1:1998, 19.3.

When required, the tests specified in clause 7 shall be carried outto determine appropriate durability properties.NOTE 1When the value of a property is required but not defined by specified limits the value should be declared by themanufacturer as an XXDeclared category, e.g. in Table 19 a freeze-thaw value of say 45 percentage loss of mass corresponds toF45 (Declared value).NOTE 2When a property is not required, a “No requirement” category can be used.

Usually hairline cracks are generatedradiating out from the spots and interconnecting them.
This reduces the strength of the mineral fabric, and as a result the rockdecays to small particles.
Depending on the source this process can take place within months of extraction or extend overseveral decades. In exceptional cases a rapid decay results in the formation of large cracks and the breaking of aggregateparticles.On completion of the boiling test, the loss of mass and the resistance to fragmentation (SBSZ or SBLA) shall bedeclared in accordance with the relevant category specified in Table 15 according to the particular application orend use.Table 15 — Categories for maximum values of resistance to ‘’Sonnenbrand’’Test methodResult%CategorySBBoiling testanda) Impact testorb) Los Angeles testIncrease of impact valueafter boilingIncrease of impact valueafter boilingIncrease of Los Angelescoefficient after boilingSBSZSBLABoiling testanda) Impact testorb) Los Angeles testLoss of mass afterboilingLoss of mass afterboilingIncrease of Los Angelescoefficient after boiling> 1> 5> 8SBSZ DeclaredSBLA DeclaredNo requirementSBNR7.3 Resistance to freezing and thawing7.3.1 GeneralGeneral guidance on the use of aggregates in an environment that is subject to freezing and thawing is given inannex B.7.3.2 Water absorption as a screening test for freeze-thaw resistanceWhen required the water absorption value as a screening test shall be determined in accordance with theprocedures specified in either EN 1097-6:2000, clause 7, or EN 1097-6:2000, annex B, declaring the result and thetest procedure used.NOTE
Selection of the water absorption test specified in EN 1097-6:2000, clause 7 or annex B is dependent upon the size ofthe aggregate.

The water absorption test as a screening test is not applicable for blastfurnace slag.If the water absorption, determined in accordance with EN 1097-6:2000, annex B, is not greater than the maximuma value of 0,5 %, the aggregate shall be assumed to be freeze-thaw resistant (see Table 17).Table 17 — Categories for maximum values of water absorption(EN 1097-6:2000, annex B)Water absorptionPercentage by mass%CategoryWA24£ 0,5> 0,5WA24 0,5

the properties of the aggregates.The results of the initial tests shall be documented as the starting point of the factory production control for thatmaterial.
This shall particularly include the identification of any components likely to emit radiation above normalbackground levels, any components likely to release polyaromatic carbons or other dangerous substances.

The risk of damage is significantly increased where theaggregate is exposed to seawater or the action of de-icing salts.B.1.3 Petrographic typeFreezing and thawing resistance is related to the strength of the aggregate particles and to the size and distributionof the pores within the particles.B.2 TestingB.2.1 Indicative testsTests that can give an indication of freeze thaw susceptibility include either petrographical examination or one ofthe physical tests indicated below. Aggregates complying with the requirements of any one of these tests can beconsidered freeze-thaw resistant.B.2.2 Petrographic examinationA petrographic examination of the aggregate according to the procedure specified in EN 932–3 will give an indicationof the presence of weak and/or highly absorptive particles which can be susceptible to damage from freeze-thawaction. Where the presence of such particles is observed or suspected one of the physical tests given in 7.3.2 can beused to assess freeze-thaw resistance of the aggregate.Susceptible aggregates derived from highly weathered rocks and some conglomerates and breccias can include forexample some or all of the following:¾ Schist, mica schist, phyllite, chalk, marl, shale, porous flint, altered porous basalt or particles looselycemented by clay minerals.B.2.3 Water absorptionWhen the water absorption of the aggregate determined in accordance with EN1097-6 is not greater than the valueselected in accordance with 7.3.1, the aggregate can be considered resistant to freeze-thaw attack.
However,many satisfactory aggregates have higher absorption values.

Furthermore, it should be recognised that there is no correlation between water absorption andfreeze/thaw resistance for blast furnace slag and in consequence use of water absorption as a screening test forfreeze/thaw resistance would not be appropriate.B.2.4 Other indicative testsEither a freeze-thaw determined in accordance with EN1367-1 or a magnesium sulphate test determined inaccordance with EN1367-2 can be applied to assess the freeze-thaw resistance of an aggregate.B.3 Selection of categoryWhere a satisfactory service record for the performance of an aggregate, under similar conditions of use to thatintended is available, the aggregate can be deemed acceptable. In cases where a satisfactory record is notavailable and testing is deemed necessary, the environmental conditions, end use and climate can be used toselect an appropriate category from Table B.1. The selected category can then be used in conjunction with 7.3.2 toset the required level of freeze-thaw resistance or magnesium sulphate soundness.Table B.1 — Freeze-thaw severity categories related to climate and end useClimateEnvironmental conditionsMediterraneanAtlanticContinental aFrost free or dry situationPartial saturationSaturatedNRNRNRNRF4 or MS35F2 or MS25NRF2 or MS25F1 or MS18a The Continental category could also apply to Iceland, parts of Scandinavia and to
