(Amendment)Specification for masonry units - Part 6: Natural stone masonry units
Specification for masonry units - Part 6: Natural stone masonry units
This European Standard specifies the characteristics and performance requirements of masonry units manufactured from natural stone the width of which is equal to or greater than 80 mm, for which the main intended uses are common, facing or exposed masonry units in load bearing or non-load bearing building and civil engineering applications These units are suitable for all forms of coursed or random masonry walling, including single leaf, cavity, partition, retaining and the external masonry to chimneys. They can provide fire protection, thermal insulation, sound insulation and sound absorption. This European Standard includes natural stone masonry units of an overall non-rectangular parallelepiped shape, specially shaped and accessory units for internal and external application. It defines the performance related to e.g. strength, petrographic description, density, porosity, dimensional accuracy, thermal conductivity, water absorption, and frost resistance and provides for the evaluation of conformity of the product to this European Standard. The marking requirements for products covered by this European Standard are also included. This European Standard does not cover storey height panels, natural stone for paving, chimney flue linings nor units intended for use as damp proof course.

Foreword
This document (EN 771-6:2011/FprA1:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 125
“Masonry”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
NOTE Due to fact that the Framework Partnership Agreement between the Commission and CEN & CENELEC is not
signed yet, there are currently no New Approach Consultants in place for 2014. Therefore the provisions of CEN-
CENELEC Guide 15 cannot be met.
This shall not prevent the processing of draft standards nor the offering of harmonized standards to the Commission. In
particular, draft standards can be sent to vote without Consultant assessment.
This note will be removed from the Foreword of the finalized publication.

14 Modification to 8.1, General
Replace the text of 8.1 with the following:
"The manufacturer shall demonstrate compliance of his product with the requirements of this European
Standard and with the declared performance for the product properties by carrying out both:
product type determination (see 8.2), which can be physical testing, calculation, reference to tabulated
values or combinations of these methods;
factory production control (see 8.3).
Alternative methods of test to the reference methods specified in this European Standard may be adopted
except for the product type determination tests and in case of dispute, provided that these alternative methods
satisfy the following:
a) a correlation can be shown to exist between the results from the reference method and those from the
alternative method; or
b) a safe relationship can be demonstrated when using the alternative method compared to the reference
methods and
c) the information on which the relationship is based is available.”.
15 Modification to 8.2, Initial type testing
Replace 8.2 with the following:
“8.2 Product type determination
After completion of the development of a new product type and before placing on the market, appropriate
product type determination shall be carried out to confirm that the properties predicted from the development
meet the requirements of this standard and the performance of the characteristics to be declared for the
product.
Whenever a major change in the source, blend, or nature of raw materials occurs, or when there is a change
in processing conditions, leading to what the manufacturer considers will constitute a new product type being
produced, the appropriate product type determination shall be repeated.
The manufacturer may define product groups. The product group may differ according to the characteristics in
question.
In the product type determination process a manufacturer may take in consideration already existing test
results.
A manufacturer may use the product type determination results determined by someone else (e.g. another
manufacturer or a research technology & development service provider) to justify his own declaration of
performances regarding a product that is manufactured according to the same design and with raw materials,
constituents and manufacturing methods of the same kind, provided that permission is given by the owner of
the results, and the results are valid for both products.
The tests to be conducted shall be the tests or calculations as described in Table A.1 for the properties
selected from the following list relevant to the manufacturer’s declaration for the product type’s intended use:
dimensions and tolerances;
configuration;

CE marking provisions, see Table ZA.1.”.
16 Modification to 8.3.1, General
st
In the 1 paragraph, replace “values” with “performance of the characteristics”.

In the 2 paragraph, replace “8.3.6” with “8.3.5” (twice).
17 Modification to 8.3.3, Production equipment
Replace the paragraph with the following:
“When the factory production control system includes process control procedures, all production equipment,
that forms part of these procedures and has an influence on the declared values, shall be regularly
inspected.”.
18 Modification to 8.3.10, Nonconforming products
st
Replace the 1 paragraph with the following:
“The procedure for dealing with nonconforming products shall be documented. Products that do not conform
with the requirements or the performance of the product type shall be segregated and marked accordingly.
However, these products may be reassessed by the manufacturer and assigned to a different product type.”.
