Ausgangsstoffe
This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 29 December 2019 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to
submit their comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS
available promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in
parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and
United Kingdom.

European foreword
This document (CEN/TS 17438:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 154
“Aggregates”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
CEN/TC 154 intends to keep this document under continual review. Any relevant information to assist in
the updating, including any proposal for the incorporation of new source material types, can be submitted
to the secretariat of CEN/TC 154. The procedure for inclusion of new source materials is described in
Clause 6.
Source materials not described in this document can still be used as an aggregate, but the applicant will
be aware that the relevant standard will not necessarily include all relevant aspects for use.
Due to the dynamic character of this document, no reference from the TC 154 Aggregate standards
towards this document is made with regard to the scope of these standards.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of
North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United
Kingdom.

1 Scope
This document informs users about the source materials that have been considered in the development
of the aggregate standards:
— EN 12620, Aggregates for concrete;
— EN 13043, Aggregates for bituminous mixtures and surface treatments for roads, airfields and other
trafficked areas;
— EN 13139, Aggregates for mortar;
— EN 13242, Aggregates for unbound and hydraulically bound materials for use in civil engineering work
and road construction;
— EN 13383-1, Armourstone — Part 1: Product standard;
— EN 13450, Aggregates for railway ballast;
— EN 13055, Lightweight aggregates;
Only source materials with a history of use in one or more member states are included in this document.
It also specifies source materials with a history of use for the scope of only one specific aggregate
standard.

CEN/TS 17438:2020 (E)
3.1.4
natural aggregate
aggregate from mineral sources which has been subjected to nothing more than mechanical processing
3.1.5
recycled aggregates
aggregate resulting from the processing of inorganic mineral material previously used in construction
Note 1 to entry: Recycled aggregates can also be obtained from production residues or nonconforming products,
e.g. crushed unused concrete.
4 Source materials for aggregates
4.1 Source materials with a history of use
All source materials which have been considered in the preparation of aggregate standards EN 12620,
EN 13043, EN 13139, EN 13242, EN 13383-1 and EN 13450 are listed in Table 1.
In some member states, there are additional requirements for the use of secondary aggregates. These
additional requirements are summarized in Table 2. It is advised to control all relevant specific
requirements in accordance with requirements at the place of use.

4.2 Source materials with identified requirements on additional characteristics
In situations where the need for additional requirements has been identified by one or more Member
States, this means that these additional requirements are not (yet) included in the relevant standard(s).
This means that these sources are only suitable for its intended use when also the identified
characteristics in that Member State are taken into account before placed on the market as aggregates.
Additional characteristics may be specified on a case by case basis depending upon experience of use of
the product, and defined in specific contractual documents.
