1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the properties of lightweight aggregates and fillers derived thereof obtained
by processing natural or manufactured materials and mixtures of these aggregates for concrete, mortar and
grout, bituminous mixtures and surface treatments and for unbound and hydraulically bound applications for
construction works.
This European Standard covers lightweight aggregates of mineral origin having particle densities not
3 3 3 3
exceeding 2000 kg/m (2,000 Mg/m ) or loose bulk densities not exceeding 1200 kg/m (1,200 Mg/m )
including:
a) natural lightweight aggregates;
b) lightweight aggregates manufactured from natural materials;
c) lightweight aggregates manufactured from by-products of industrial processes or from recycled materials;
d) lightweight aggregates as by-products of industrial processes.
A list of the source materials that have been considered and are within the scope of this standard is given in
Annex A (normative).
NOTE 1 Recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste and Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator Bottom
Ash (MIBA) are covered by standards EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 and EN 13242.
Some lightweight aggregates for specific applications are covered in separate European product standards
(Annex B, normative).
This standard incorporates a general requirement that aggregates shall not release any dangerous
substances in excess of the maximum permitted levels specified in a relevant European Standard for the
material or permitted in the national regulations of the member state of destination.
NOTE 2 Requirements for the declaration of the potential of aggregates to release regulated dangerous substances
are currently under development. Until such time as these are finalised attention should be paid to requirements at the
place of use.
This standard also specifies that a quality control system is in place for use in factory production control and it
provides for the evaluation of conformity of the products to this European Standard.
The requirements specified in this standard may not be equally relevant to all types of lightweight aggregates.
For particular applications the requirements and tolerances can be adapted for the end use.

5.26 Thermal conductivity
5.26.1 General
When required the thermal conductivity of LWA (including air voids) shall be determined in the air dry
condition in accordance with EN 12664 or EN 12667 in the case of dry LWA with a thermal conductivity value
less than 0,15 W/(mK).
5.26.2 Correction for moisture
Design values shall be obtained by correcting measured values in accordance with EN ISO 10456.
6 Testing
6.1 Sampling and sample reduction
Sampling and sample reduction shall be carried out in accordance with EN 932-1, and if required in
accordance with EN 932-2.
NOTE To ensure a representative sample care should be taken to minimize segregation and degradation.
6.2 Quantity of test specimens
The test specimen quantity specified in any test method shall, if not taken into account for LWA, be corrected
on the basis of loose bulk density (see example in Annex D).
6.3 Preparation of test specimens for thermal conductivity testing
6.3.1 Drying
Test specimens shall be dried in accordance with EN 1097-5.
6.3.2 Conditioning after drying
Allow the test specimen to cool to room temperature. When required allow the test specimen to condition to
moisture equilibrium at (23 ± 5)°C and (50 ± 10) % relative humidity.
6.3.3 Preparation of test specimens
Care shall be taken to avoid excessive segregation and crushing when placing material in the apparatus. The
density of the specimen shall be determined and declared, based on the mass of the specimen and the
dimensions of the specimen enclosure.
6.3.4 Thickness of test specimens
Test specimens shall be at least 10 times as thick as the mean aggregate size in the sample.
NOTE Test specimens with a thickness of five times the mean aggregate size are permitted if it can be shown that
the required testing accuracy is obtained.
