This document was examined by and agreed with a joint working party appointed by the Liaison Group CEN/TC 229 – CEN/TC 250, particularly for its compatibility with structural Eurocodes. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2011, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 2011. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document includes Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 2011-01-10. This document supersedes EN 15037-3:2009. The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags ! ". This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. European standard for beam-and-block floor system is made of 5 parts:  EN 15037-1, Precast concrete products — Beam-and-block floor systems — Part 1: Beams;  EN 15037-2, Precast concrete products — Beam-and-block floor systems — Part 2: Concrete blocks;  EN 15037-3, Precast concrete products — Beam-and-block floor systems — Part 3: Clay blocks;  !EN 15037-4", Precast concrete products — Beam-and-block floor systems — Part 4: Polystyrene blocks;  prEN 15037-5, Precast concrete products — Beam-and-block floor systems — Part 5: Lightweight blocks. This European Standard is one of a series of product standards for precast concrete products. For common aspects of concrete products, reference is made to EN 13369, from which also the relevant requirements of the EN 206-1 are taken. The references to EN 13369 by CEN/TC 229 product standards are intended to make them homogeneous and to avoid repetitions of similar requirements. !Eurocodes are taken as a common reference for design aspects. The installation of some structural precast concrete products is dealt with by EN 13670:2009 Execution of concrete structures. In all countries it can be accompanied by alternatives for national application." The program of standards for structural precast concrete products comprises the following standards, in some cases consisting on several parts: SIST EN 15037-3:2009+A1:2011

Floor systems built with !low non-resisting or non-resisting blocks" always have a cast-in-situ structural topping. 3.2 semi-resisting block block participating in the transfer of loads to the beams (designated SR) NOTE In conjunction with a cast-in-situ concrete, it may contribute to the final strength of the system. However, its top flange alone cannot act as a compression slab in the final floor system.

Only materials with established suitability shall be used. For a particular material, the establishment of suitability may result from a European Standard which refers specifically to the use of this material in products; in absence of a European Standard it may also result, under the same conditions, from an International Standard. Where this material is not covered by a European or an International Standard, or if it deviates from the requirements of these standards, the establishment of suitability may result from:  the relevant national standards or provisions valid in the place of use of the product which refer specifically to the use of this material in clay or in clay products; or  a European Technical Approval specifically for the use of this material in clay or clay products. Clay blocks should be considered as low-non-resisting blocks, or non-resisting blocks, or semi-resisting blocks or resisting blocks. 4.2 Production requirements Only the materials described in 4.1 shall be used in the production of clay blocks. 4.3 Finished product requirements 4.3.1 Geometrical properties 4.3.1.1 General For technical documentation see Clause 8. 4.3.1.2 Production tolerances 4.3.1.2.1 Dimensional tolerances The manufacturer shall declare which of the following tolerance classes the clay blocks fulfil. a) General for the three classes:  ± 3 mm for the width of the nib;  ± 5 mm for all the other dimensions (except width, length and height); b) Class T1: SIST EN 15037-3:2009+A1:2011
