This European Standard specifies materials, properties, requirements and test methods for unreinforced cement bound concrete paving blocks and complementary fittings. It is applicable to precast concrete paving blocks and complementary fittings for pedestrian use, vehicular use and roof coverings, e.g. footpaths, precincts, cycle tracks, car parks, roads, highways, industrial areas (including docks and harbours), aircraft pavements, bus stations, petrol filling stations.
In case of regular use of studded tyres additional requirements are sometimes needed.
This standard does not deal with the tactility or visibility of blocks nor with permeable blocks.
This standard provides for the product marking and the evaluation of conformity of the product to this European Standard.

This European Standard specifies materials, properties, requirements and test methods for cement bound unreinforced concrete paving flags and complementary fittings.
It is applicable to precast concrete paving flags and complementary fittings that are particularly for use in external trafficked paved areas and roof coverings.
In case of regular use of studded tyres additional requirements are sometimes needed.
This standard does not deal with the tactility or visibility of flags nor with permeable flags.

This European Standard specifies materials, properties, requirements and test methods for unreinforced, cement bound precast concrete kerbs, channels and complementary fittings, that are particularly for use in external trafficked paved areas and roof coverings.
The units are used to fulfil one or more of the following:
Separation, physical or visual delineation, the provision of drainage or the containment of paved areas or other surfacing.
In case of regular use of studded tyres, additional requirements are sometimes needed.
This standard provides for the product marking and the evaluation of conformity of the product to this European standard.
Apart from the tolerances, this standard does not include requirements for cross-sections, shapes and dimensions.
This standard does not deal with the tactility or visibility of kerbs.

Blocks with side features to provide wider joints for permeable pavements are included.
Permable blocks with large holes or voids or with an interconnected pore structure to allow water to pass through the block to provide a porous pavement are not included.  
In case of regular use of studded tyres additional requirements are sometimes needed.
