Adhesives as defined in EN 12004.
3.2 dimensions of slabs for cladding the length l, width b and thickness d are the dimensions of a slab for cladding. They are given in the stated sequence in millimetres (see Figure 1)
Figure 1 — Dimensions of a slab for cladding 4 Requirements 4.1 Requirements for geometric characteristics 4.1.1 General All measurements shall be carried out in accordance with EN 13373 and all measured values of individual units shall fall within the required tolerances.

± 10 % More than 30 Up to and including 80
± 3 mm More than 80 ± 5 mm
Stricter tolerances may be declared by the manufacturer. This is particularly important when the edges of the slabs will be visible. NOTE If the slab is to be fixed by adhesive or a thin mortar bed, stricter tolerances may be needed. The required thickness of slabs shall result from a structural analysis or similar procedure which takes into account the technical and physical properties of the stone and the intended application. For natural cleft/riven faces, Table 1 does not apply and the tolerances on thickness shall be declared by manufacturer. 4.1.3 Requirements for flatness The deviation from flatness of the surface (except for natural cleft faces) shall not exceed 0,2 % of the slab length, and shall not exceed 3 mm. For natural cleft faces, the tolerance on flatness shall be declared by manufacturer. 4.1.4 Requirements for length and width The length or width shall not deviate from the nominal size by more than given in Table 2. Table 2 – Tolerances on length and width Nominal length or width in mm < 600 ≥ 600 Sawn edges thickness ≤ 50 mm ± 1 mm ± 1,5 mm Sawn edges thickness > 50 mm ± 2 mm ± 3 mm
Stricter tolerances may be declared by the manufacturer. 4.1.5 Requirements for angles and special shapes The permissible tolerance at any point shall be as stated in Table 2 (see Figure 2). Each slab angle shall be in accordance with the agreed geometry. Pieces of special or irregular shape shall be checked for compliance with the required shape by use of a suitable template, the permissible tolerance at any point shall be as stated in Table 2. Stricter tolerances may be declared by the manufacturer. This is particularly important when the edges of the slabs will be visible.

Dimensions in millimetres
Key 1 Nominal size 2 The slab sides shall fall within the two dotted lines indicating the tolerances of length and width according to Table 2 Figure 2 — Example of tolerances on angles 4.1.6 Requirements for location of dowel holes The specified location, depth and diameter (shape) of dowel holes shall be as follows: • Location measured along the length or width of the slab: ± 2 mm • Location measured along thickness: ± 1 mm (to be measured from the exposed face) • Depth: + 3 / - 1 mm • Diameter: + 1 / - 0,5 mm Stricter tolerances may be declared by the manufacturer. For other fixing systems (e.g. slots), specific tolerances shall be declared by the manufacturer. 4.1.7 Commercial sizes of slabs for cladding Commercial sizes shall be based on the area of the smallest possible circumscribed rectangle measured in square metres accurate to two decimal places. NOTE For small units it may be necessary to agree a minimum size, for example 0,25 m2. 4.1.8 Requirements for surface finish 4.1.8.1 General Surface finishes shall be carried out uniformly to the edges of the cladding slab. The surface finishing of some types of stones may typically involve the use of patching, fillers or other similar products for natural holes, faults or cracks; this is to be considered as part of the normal processing. In such cases the type of treatment, as well as the type and nature of additional materials, shall be declared.

Daylight Figure 3 — Comparison between production sample and reference sample All visible variations such as cracks, inclusions, cavities, stylolites and veins are permitted as far as they are typical for the stone and the performance of the stone is not adversely affected. 4.2.4 Flexural strength This characteristic shall always be declared. The flexural strength shall be determined using the test method in EN 12372 or EN 13161 and the mean value, lower expected value and standard deviation shall be declared. NOTE An identification test as defined in EN 12372 or EN 13161 is usually carried out for the purpose of CE marking. However, where the surface finish of the delivered product is known, the test may be carried out with this finish, in accordance with the technological tests defined in EN 12372 or EN 13161.
