Aggregates for construction works - Part 1: Characteristics

The Part 1 (harmonised) European Standard will specify the characteristics of aggregates for use in
•   concrete for buildings, roads and other civil engineering works,
•   mortar
•   bituminous mixtures and surface treatments for roads, airfields and other trafficked areas,
•   unbound and hydraulically bound materials for use in civil engineering work and road construction
Aggregates to be covered in this European Standard, are obtained by processing natural, manufactured or recycled materials and mixtures of these materials. Families of aggregates covered will include coarse aggregates, grit, fine aggregates, natural graded aggregates, all-in aggregates and added fillers.
The standard will cover natural and manufactured aggregates having an oven dried particle density greater than 2,00 Mg/m3 and recycled aggregates with particle densities greater than 1,50 Mg/m3. Natural and manufactured aggregates of density less than or equal to 2,00 Mg/m3 are already covered by our existing standard EN 13055.
The standard will not cover
•   the use of reclaimed bituminous mixtures. Reclaimed asphalt for use as a constituent of bituminous mixtures is specified in EN 13108 8.
•   use of aggregates as soil
•   the creation of unbound mixtures for road construction from aggregates as this aspect is specified in EN13285
The non-harmonised Part 2 standard will provide non-contradictory complementary information to assist in the practical application of the Part 1 standard, including advice on the reasons for testing and declaring various characteristics and recommendations for the practical implementation of factory production control measures.

European foreword
This document (prEN 17555-1:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 154
“Aggregates”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede the following set of standards:
— EN 12620:2002+A1:2008,
— EN 13043:2002, together with EN 13043:2002/AC:2004,
— EN 13139:2002, together with EN 13139:2002/AC:2004, and
— EN 13242:2002+A1:2007.
The most significant technical changes compared to EN 12620:2002+A1:2008, EN 13043:2002,
together with EN 13043:2002/AC:2004, EN 13139:2002, together with EN 13139:2002/AC:2004, and
EN 13242:2002+A1:2007 include:
a) unification and clarifications of the scope statement;
b) unification and improvement of definitions for aggregate families and other matters which were
common across the four main aggregate standards EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 and EN 13242,
i.e. for coarse, fine, all-in aggregates, natural graded aggregates, grit and added fillers;
c) updating and improving references to supporting test methods;
d) consolidation of classes for characteristics, including:
a. merging of classes which were common across the four main aggregate standards: EN 12620,
EN 13043, EN 13139 and EN 13242;
b. addition of classes to respond to requests from Member States;
c. addition of intermediate classes to provide a more uniform sequence;
e) with regard to aggregates (not including added filler):
a. unification of overall limits for graded coarse aggregates at mid-size sieves;
b. removal of clauses referring to tolerances on grading;
c. deletion of classes (and replacement with a simple level declaration) for proportions of
constituents of recycled aggregates and for water absorption linked to freeze thaw resistance;
d. addition of new classes for the following: grading, particle shape, crushed particles, fines
content, sand equivalent value; methylene blue value; shell content, lightweight
contaminators, resistance to fragmentation, resistance to wear, resistance to abrasion from
studded tyres, total sulfur content, water soluble sulfate content of recycled aggregates, effect
of organic contaminators on the rate of setting and hardening of concrete mortar and
hydraulically bound mixtures – recycled aggregates, resistance to weathering – magnesium
sulfate soundness;
e. introduction of aggregate proxy characteristics and classes for the following:, susceptibility to
attrition; resistance to weathering – water absorption; water soluble sulfate content of coarse
natural aggregates; resistance to freezing and thawing in the presence of salt;
f. formal addition of characteristics and some classes for the fine fraction of aggregates not
including added filler. These are identical to the equivalent tests for added fillers and
previously were just cross referenced to filler tests;
g. removal of simple petrographic description from the characteristics and inclusion instead
under the marking labelling and packaging clause;
f) with regard to added fillers:
a. addition of new classes for total sulfur content, harmful fines, water content, volume of voids
and change of the softening point, carbonate content of filler of limestone origin, loss on
ignition;
b. removal of the clause relating to specific surface area of added filler;
c. introduction of a new characteristic and classes for carbonate content of composite filler;
g) restructuring of all clauses to be in line with the requirements of the Construction Product
Regulations;
h) introduction of revised AVCP clauses and tables, although minimum test frequencies are almost
unchanged.
Provisions for other types of aggregates and their intended uses are specified in the following
European Standards:

— prEN 13383-1:2021, Armourstone — Part 1: Characteristics
— prEN 13450-1:2021, Aggregates for railway ballast — Part 1: Characteristics
