4 Materials of natural stone
Natural stone is a natural product obtained by mining or by quarrying and made into masonry units by a
manufacturing process.
The following groups of materials are considered as natural stone:
 Magmatic or igneous rocks: Rocks formed by the cooling and solidification of the magma, e.g. granite,
basalt, diorite, porphyry.
 Sedimentary rocks: Rocks formed by deposition (generally in water) and consolidation of organic or
inorganic particles. For example limestone, sandstone, travertine.
 Metamorphic rocks: Transformed rocks resulting from action of heat and/or pressure on the pre-existing
rocks. For example slate, gneiss, quartzite, marble.
5 Requirements for natural stone masonry units
5.1 General
The requirements and properties specified in this European Standard shall be defined in terms of the test
methods and other procedures referred to in this European Standard.
It should be noted that the test methods are not always applicable to specially shaped and accessory units as
defined in 3.9 and 3.10.
The conformity criteria given in the following subclauses relate to initial type tests (see 8.2) and to
consignment testing (see Annex A). For the compressive strength of Category I units use a 50 % fractile
(p = 0,50) for mean values or 5 % fractile (p = 0,05) for characteristic values and a confidence level of 95 %.
For production evaluation the manufacturer shall define the conformity criteria in the factory production control
documentation (see 8.3).
5.2 Denomination
The denomination shall be declared in accordance with EN 12440 (meaning traditional name, petrological
family, typical colour and place of origin).
The petrographic name shall be declared in accordance with EN 12407.
5.3 Dimensions and tolerances
5.3.1 Dimensions
The dimensions of a natural stone masonry unit shall be declared (by the manufacturer/supplier) in mm for
length, width and height in that order. They shall be given in terms of work size and in addition the
coordinating size may be given. The assembly dimensions may also be given.

5.3.2 Dimensional tolerances
The permissible deviations for individual masonry units shall be as given in Table 1. The manufacturer shall
also declare which tolerance category the dimensioned natural stone masonry units shall fulfil. The
manufacturer may declare closer tolerances for one or more dimensions.
When sampled in accordance with Annex A and tested in accordance with EN 772-16:2011 using
measurement method a), the deviation from the declared dimensions shall not exceed the tolerances for the
dimensions in question taken from Table 1 or any closer tolerance the manufacturer has declared.
In addition the definition of dimensioned stone (finished units) includes the requirement that the faces and
headers are plane without a separate declaration and that the bed faces of category D3 masonry units are
suitable for use with thin layer mortar. When sampled in accordance with Annex A and tested in accordance
with EN 772-20, the flatness shall meet the requirements of Table 1. When sampled in accordance with
Annex A and tested in accordance with EN 13373, the out-of-squareness shall meet the requirements of
Table 1.
When dimensioned stone masonry units category D3, intended for use with thin layer mortar, are sampled in
accordance with Annex A and tested in accordance with EN 772-16:2011 by procedure d, the deviation from
plane parallelism shall not exceed the values given in Table 1.

5.4 Configuration
5.4.1 General
The geometry, shape and features of natural stone masonry units shall be declared by the manufacturer.
The test shall be carried out according to EN 772-16.
5.4.2 Surface appearance
An indicative sample shall show the general tonality and finish of the natural stone, but does not imply any
total uniformity in colour, and veins between the sample and supply.
Indicative samples shall also show the surface finish proposed.
NOTE Indicative samples should be delivered to the customer as an indication of specific characteristics such as
glass seams, spots, holes for travertine, worm holes for marble, crystalline veins, rust stains, geodes, lens etc. which
should not be considered as flaws.
When an indicative sample cannot exhibit sufficiently the characteristic features of the stone, at least three
specimens shall be delivered.
One specimen out of three should indicate the average appearance and the other two the extreme
appearance.
5.5 Apparent density
The manufacturer shall declare the apparent density of six specimens sampled in accordance with Annex A
and tested in accordance with EN 1936.
NOTE The term apparent density used in relation to natural stone units is the same property declared as gross
density in EN 771-1 to EN 771-5.
5.6 Mechanical strengths
5.6.1 Compressive strength
The manufacturer shall declare the mean normalised compressive strength (fb). In addition the manufacturer
may declare the characteristic compressive strength (5 % fractile). In addition, the manufacturer shall declare
whether the natural stone masonry unit is classified as Category I or Category II.
The normalised compressive strength procedure of a natural stone masonry unit is given in EN 772-1:2011,
Annex A.
When the natural stone masonry units are sampled from a consignment in accordance with Annex A and
tested in accordance with EN 772-1 and conditioned in accordance with EN 772-1:2011, 7.3.2 a), the mean
compressive strength of the specified number (at least 10 specimen) of natural stone masonry units from a
consignment shall be not less than the declared compressive strength and no individual unit shall have a
compressive strength of less than 80 % of the declared mean value.
When it is not convenient to test whole units the test specimen may be cubes with (100 ± 5) mm (70 ± 5) mm
or (50 ± 5) mm edge or right circular cylinders with diameter and height which are equal to (100 ± 5) mm
(70 ± 5) mm or (50 ± 5) mm.
The number of specimen shall be at least 10.
Sawn test specimens shall be representative of the original unit section.

SIST EN 771-6:2011
EN 771-6:2011 (E)
The declaration shall relate to and indicate the intended orientation of natural stone masonry units as tested
and the method of bedding the units. Where, due to its means of formation, the strength properties of the
stone are not isotropic, e.g. due to presence of bedding planes, it may be necessary to declare the
compressive strength normal to more than one face of the test specimen. If the grinding process significantly
alters the contact area of the faces tested or if the flatness tolerance cannot be achieved and the capping
procedure is thereby used, this shall be declared.
The size and shape of the specimen tested shall be reported.
NOTE When shape factors are available e.g. in a database to be used to normalize the compressive strength from
cut cubes or cylinders, these may be used.

5.4 Configuration 5.4.1 General The geometry, shape and features of natural stone masonry units shall be declared by the manufacturer. The test shall be carried out according to EN 772-16. kSIST FprEN 771-6:2010



FprEN 771-6:2010 (E) 10 5.4.2 Surface appearance An indicative sample shall show the general tonality and finish of the natural stone, but does not imply any total uniformity in colour, and veins between the sample and supply. Indicative samples shall also show the surface finish proposed. NOTE Indicative samples should be delivered to the customer as an indication of specific characteristics such as glass seams, spots, holes for travertine, worm holes for marble, crystalline veins, rust stains, geodes, lens etc. which should not be considered as flaws. When an indicative sample cannot exhibit sufficiently the characteristic features of the stone, at least three specimens shall be delivered. One specimen out of three should indicate the average appearance and the other two the extreme appearance. 5.5 Apparent density The manufacturer shall declare the apparent density of six specimens sampled in accordance with Annex A and tested in accordance with EN 1936. NOTE The term apparent density used in relation to natural stone units is the same property declared as gross density in FprEN 771-1 to FprEN 771-5. 5.6 Mechanical strengths 5.6.1 Compressive strength The manufacturer shall declare the mean normalised compressive strength (fb). In addition the manufacturer may declare the characteristic compressive strength (5 % fractile). In addition, the manufacturer shall declare whether the natural stone masonry unit is classified as Category I or Category II. The normalised compressive strength procedure of a natural stone masonry unit is given in EN 772-1:2000, Annex A. When the natural stone masonry units are sampled from a consignment in accordance with Annex A and tested in accordance with EN 772-1 and conditioned in accordance with EN 772-1:2000, 7.3.2 a), then the mean compressive strength of the specified number (at least 10 specimen) of natural stone masonry units from a consignment shall be not less than the declared compressive strength and no individual unit shall have a compressive strength of less than 80 % of the declared mean value. When it is not convenient to test whole units the test specimen may be cubes with (100 ± 5) mm (70 ± 5) mm or (50 ± 5) mm edge or right circular cylinders with diameter and height which are equal to (100 ± 5) mm (70 ± 5) mm or (50 ± 5) mm. The number of specimen shall be at least 10. Sawn test specimens shall be representative of the original unit section. The declaration shall relate to and indicate the intended orientation of natural stone masonry units as tested and the method of bedding the units. Where, due to its means of formation, the strength properties of the stone are not isotropic, e.g. due to presence of bedding planes, it may be necessary to declare the compressive strength normal to more than one face of the test specimen. If the grinding process significantly alters the contact area of the faces tested or if the flatness tolerance cannot be achieved and the capping procedure is thereby used, this shall be declared. The size and shape of the specimen tested shall be reported. kSIST FprEN 771-6:2010



FprEN 771-6:2010 (E) 11 NOTE When shape factors are available e.g. in a database to be used to normalize the compressive strength from cut cubes or cylinders, these may be used. 5.6.2 Flexural strength For natural stone masonry units that could be subjected to flexural stress during use, the manufacturer shall declare the mean flexural strength of ten specimens sampled in accordance with Annex A and tested in accordance with EN 12372. 5.7 Shear bond strength 5.7.1 General For natural stone masonry units intended to be used in elements subjected to structural requirements, the shear bond strength of the unit in combination with mortar shall be declared in terms of the characteristic initial shear strength in accordance with EN 1052-3. The declaration may be made either on the basis of fixed values as in 5.7.2 below or tests as in 5.7.3 below. The manufacturer shall declare whether the value of bond strength has been obtained from the fixed values or from test. NOTE In most cases, it is expected that the use of fixed values will be sufficient. 5.7.2 Declaration based on fixed values When no declaration is made in accordance with 5.7.3, the characteristic initial shear strength of the unit in combination with mortar may be declared by reference to FprEN 998-2:2010, Annex C. 5.7.3 Declaration based on tests The characteristic initial shear strength of the unit in combination with a specific type of mortar specified in accordance with FprEN 998-2 may be declared based on the tests on masonry units sampled from a consignment in accordance with Annex A and tested in accordance with EN 1052-3. The characteristic initial shear strength shall not be less than the declared value. NOTE Bond strength depends on the mortar, the masonry unit and the workmanship. 5.8 Flexural bond strength When relevant to the uses for which natural stone masonry units are put on the market, the flexural bond strength of masonry made with the units and mortar specified in accordance with FprEN 998-2 shall be declared. The declaration shall give the value of the characteristic flexural strength of the masonry combination for either a plane of failure perpendicular to the bed joints or a plane of failure parallel to the bed joints or both, as relevant, and the mortar specification for which the declaration is valid.
