Note 1 to entry: Normally the ratio obtainable by dividing the mass of the squared rough block by the apparent
density should be bigger than 80 % of the gross size. If such a ratio is equal to or less than 80 %, the block is
considered a shapeless rough block.
4 Requirements
4.1 Requirements for geometric characteristics
4.1.1 Measurement criteria
All measurements shall be carried out in accordance with EN 13373 and indicated in metres to two
decimals places. The commercial size of a rough block refers either to gross or net size and excluding
recognized defects and it may allow for a general reduction for commercial purpose only, usually net size
dimensions minus 0,05 m (see Figure 2).
4.1.2 Requirements on shape
The six sides of squared rough block shall be approximately flat, right-angled and parallel, and
correspond to the shape of a cuboid. Deviations from the cuboid shape are permitted.
Shapeless rough blocks for commercial purposes are only measured by mass, (see 4.1.4); gross size shall
be provided upon request.
Rough blocks of specific size shall have dimensions not lower than the minimum values and not greater
than the maximum values agreed between the purchaser and supplier.
4.1.3 Requirements for volume
The volume of a rough block shall be stated in cubic metres to three decimals places. The volume may be
calculated by dividing the mass of the block by the apparent density.
4.1.4 Requirements for mass
The mass of a rough block shall be stated in tonnes with three decimals. For commercial purposes,
shapeless rough blocks shall be measured only by mass, gross size shall be provided upon request.
4.2 Requirements of natural stone for rough blocks
4.2.1 General
The following characteristics shall be declared where requested by this document, or with reference to
use conditions.
The declared values shall be representative of the current production. However, due to natural variations
of the stone materials, deviations from the declared values may occur. Expected deviations shall be
indicated by the manufacturer.
In case of layered stone: If a rough block contains different types of stones (see 4.2.2) all characteristics
shall be declared.
In case of highly heterogeneous and anisotropic lithotypes, see 4.2.2, all characteristics shall be declared.
4.2.2 Denomination
The denomination (traditional name, petrological family, typical colour and place of origin) shall always
be declared in accordance with EN 12440.

reference sample). The reference samples shall be provided by the supplier.
