Specification for masonry units - Part 2: Calcium silicate masonry units

This European Standard specifies the characteristics and performance requirements of calcium silicate masonry units for which the main intended uses are inner walls, outer walls, cellars, foundations and external chimney masonry. This European Standard is intended to apply to all calcium silicate masonry units, including those of an overall nonrectangular parallelepiped shape, specially shaped and accessory units. It defines the performance related to e.g. strength, density and dimensional accuracy, measured according to the corresponding test methods contained in separate European Standards. It provides for the evaluation of conformity of the product to this European Standard. The marking requirement for products covered by this document is also included. This European Standard does not specify standard sizes for calcium silicate masonry units, nor standard work dimensions and angles of specially shaped and accessory units. It does not cover units with more than 60 % volume of voids, nor products made from shale as a major raw material. It does not cover storey height panels. It does not cover units intended for use as a damp proof course, nor units with an incorporated thermal insulation material bonded to the faces of the unit susceptible to be exposed to fire, nor chimney flue units.

Calcium silicate masonry units are produced predominantly from a mixture of lime and natural siliceous

declared.
5 Requirements for calcium silicate 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 3.8. and 3.9.
The conformity criteria given in the following subclauses relate to initial type testing (see 8.2) and, when
relevant, to consignment testing (see Annex A). For the compressive strength of Category I units, use a
50 % fractile (p = 0,50) for mean 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 Dimensions and tolerances
5.2.1 Dimensions
The dimensions of a calcium silicate masonry unit shall be declared in mm for length, width and height, in that
order. They shall be given in terms of work size.
NOTE In addition the co-ordinating size may be given. See Figure 1.

NOTE This relates to the normal use of the masonry unit in the wall.
Figure 1 — Dimensions and surfaces
When a specified number of calcium silicate masonry units is sampled from a consignment in accordance with
Annex A and tested in accordance with EN 772-16, the tolerances shall be indicated as in 5.2.2.1. The
determination of length, width and height shall be by one measurement taken approximately in the centre of
each specimen (EN 772-16:2011, 7.1, procedure d)). When there is a need to exclude irregular surfaces
(tongues and grooves, grip holes, etc.) in providing the dimension, EN 772-16:2011 procedure e) shall be
used.
Dimensions and tolerances of accessory units need only be declared by the manufacturer, if the accessory
units are placed on the market as individual products and do not form part of a customised consignment.
When a specified number of accessory units is sampled from a consignment in accordance with Annex A,
dimensions and tolerances shall be as given in Annex C.
5.2.2 Dimensional tolerances
5.2.2.1 Tolerances
The dimensional tolerance category shall be declared in accordance with Table 1. The actual deviations for
the mean length, width and height and the actual deviations for individual length, width and height shall not be
greater than the permissible deviations as specified in Table 1 for the declared dimensional tolerance
category.
Actual deviations for the mean are differences between declared work sizes and the mean measured values.
Actual deviations for individual values are differences between the mean measured values and the measured
individual values.
These dimensional tolerances shall not apply to the direction perpendicular to a treated face of
a sliced,
fractured or structured unit.

FprEN 771-2:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the characteristics and performance requirements of calcium silicate masonry units for which the main intended uses are inner walls, outer walls, cellars, foundations and external chimney masonry. This European Standard is intended to apply to all calcium silicate masonry units, including those of an overall nonrectangular parallelepiped shape, specially shaped and accessory units. It defines the performance related to e.g. strength, density and dimensional accuracy, measured according to the corresponding test methods contained in separate European Standards. It provides for the evaluation of conformity of the product to this European Standard. The marking requirement for products covered by this document is also included. This European Standard does not specify standard sizes for calcium silicate masonry units, nor standard work dimensions and angles of specially shaped and accessory units. It does not cover units with more than 60 % volume of voids, nor products made from shale as a major raw material. It does not cover storey height panels. It does not cover units intended for use as a damp proof course, nor units with an incorporated thermal insulation material bonded to the faces of the unit susceptible to be exposed to fire, nor chimney flue units. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Calcium silicate masonry units produced with a majority of other siliceous materials are permitted if these materials have no deleterious effect on the properties of the product. The presence of such a material shall be declared. 5 Requirements for calcium silicate 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 3.8. and 3.9. The conformity criteria given in the following subclauses relate to initial type testing (see 8.2) and, when relevant, to consignment testing (see Annex A). For the compressive strength of Category I units, use a 50 % fractile (p = 0,50) for mean 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 Dimensions and tolerances 5.2.1 Dimensions The dimensions of a calcium silicate masonry unit shall be declared in mm for length, width and height, in that order. They shall be given in terms of work size. NOTE In addition the co-ordinating size may be given. See Figure 1.

Figure 1 — Dimensions and surfaces When a specified number of calcium silicate masonry units is sampled from a consignment in accordance with Annex A and tested in accordance with EN 772-16, the tolerances shall be indicated as in 5.2.2.1. The determination of length, width and height shall be by one measurement taken approximately in the centre of each specimen (EN 772-16:2011, 7.1, procedure d)). When there is a need to exclude irregular surfaces (tongues and grooves, grip holes, etc.) in providing the dimension, procedure e) shall be used. Dimensions and tolerances of accessory units need only be declared by the manufacturer, if the accessory units are placed on the market as individual products and do not form part of a customised consignment. When a specified number of accessory units is sampled from a consignment in accordance with Annex A, dimensions and tolerances shall be as given in Annex C. 5.2.2 Dimensional tolerances 5.2.2.1 Tolerances The dimensional tolerance category shall be declared in accordance with Table 1. The actual deviations for the mean length, width and height and the actual deviations for individual length, width and height shall be not greater than the permissible deviations as specified in Table 1 for the declared dimensional tolerance category. Actual deviations for the mean are differences between declared work sizes and the mean measured values. Actual deviations for individual values are differences between the mean measured values and the measured individual values. These dimensional tolerances shall not apply to the direction perpendicular to a treated face of a sliced, fractured or structured unit.
