For curved kerbs the lengthis the greater diameter. The manufacturer shall state the maximum working length of a kerb unit.The ends of curved kerbs shall be radial.Curved kerbs shall be identified by the radius of the vertical face. The overall length of a number ofcurved kerbs shall be measured without the joints on the edge common to the visible faces.The minimum length of curved kerbs shall be 500 mm.Nominally square arrises may have a chamfer with vertical and horizontal dimensions not exceeding2 mm.The dimensions of larger chamfers, radiused corners and splays, when used, shall be declared by thesupplier.

EN 1343:2001114.3 Freeze/thaw resistanceThe producer shall declare the freeze/thaw resistance of the stone in accordance with Table
5 whentested in accordance with EN 12371. The number of cycles shall be 48. The test shall be carried outto determine the effect of freeze/thaw cycles on performance characteristics(EN 12372 - flexural strength). The specimens shall be in accordance with the appropriate standard.For some specific uses it may be appropriate to use different test cycles, for example freezing inwater, freezing to a lower temperature, or testing specimens embedded in non-porous siliceousgranules or a different number of cycles.
In these cases national specification standards may befollowed but these variations shall be clearly stated in the test report.If there is no requirement for freeze/thaw resistance or no performance has been determined, thenthis shall be stated.Table 5 — Freeze/thaw resistanceClassClass 0Class 1Marking designationF0F1RequirementNo requirements for freeze/thawResistantresistance( 20 % change in flexuralstrength)4.4 Flexural strengthThe producer shall declare a flexural strength in megapascals (MPa) as the minimum value expectedfor individual test specimens when tested in accordance with EN 12372. If no performance has beendetermined this shall be stated.NOTEGuidance on the appropriate breaking load for different classes of use is given in annex B.4.5 Aspects1.1.1 AppearanceStone is a naturally occurring material giving rise to variations in colour, veining and texture, thereforegeneral characteristics of the appearance may be given by one or more specimens (see 4.5.2).4.5.2 Reference sampleA reference sample shall be a number of pieces of kerb of natural stone of sufficient size to indicatethe appearance of the finished work and the approximate appearance regarding the colouring, thevein pattern, the physical structure and face finish.It shall show the general tonality and finish of the natural stone, but does not imply any total uniformityin colour and veins between the sample and finished product.The reference sample shall be provided and delivered to the customer as an indication to showspecific characteristic such as glass seams, spots, holes for travertine, worm holes for marble,crystalline veins and rusty spots of the offered materials.NOTEThese characteristics should not be considered as flaws and should not be used as a reason forrejection.SIST EN 1343:2002



EN 1343:200112The name and address of the producer or the supplier shall be indicated on the sample as well asidentification of the material including trade name, petrographic name, country of origin and extractionarea.Reference samples shall also show the surface finish proposed.Any comparison between test and reference samples shall be carried out by placing the referencesample against the test specimens and viewing them at a distance of two metres under normallighting conditions and recording any visible differences in appearance, texture or colour.4.6 Water absorptionWhen required the producer shall declare the water absorption (% by mass) as the maximum valueexpected for individual specimens when tested in accordance with EN 13755.4.7 Petrographical descriptionThe producer shall provide a petrographical description, including a petrographic name of the stonetype, in accordance with EN 12407.4.8 Chemical surface treatmentThe producer/supplier shall declare if the product has been subjected to a chemical surface treatmentand what the treatment was.5 Evaluation of conformity5.1 GeneralThe producer or supplier shall demonstrate compliance of his product, either new or existing, with therequirements of this standard and with the declared values or classes for the product properties bycarrying out initial type testing and factory production control. Where tests have previously been donein conformity with the requirements of this standard (same product, same characteristic, test methodand sampling method) the results may be taken into account for initial type testing.The value declared by the producer or supplier shall be representative of the current produ
