Overview

CEN/TS 17438:2020 documents the source materials considered during development of the CEN/TC 154 aggregate standards. It provides an inventory of natural, manufactured and recycled source materials that have a documented history of use in one or more CEN member states and clarifies where additional national requirements apply. The Technical Specification is provisional (approved 29 Dec 2019) and was published to inform users and support consistent treatment of non‑conventional and secondary aggregates across standards for concrete, bituminous mixtures, mortar, unbound materials, armourstone, railway ballast and lightweight aggregates.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and purpose: Lists source materials taken into account in preparing EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139, EN 13242, EN 13383‑1, EN 13450 and EN 13055.
• Inventory of source materials: Tabled classification of materials (natural rock types, reclaimed asphalt, crushed concrete, recycled railway ballast, foundry sand, slags, fly ashes, municipal incinerator bottom ash (MIBA), crushed glass, dredged material, etc.) that have a positive history of use.
• Definitions: Clear terms for aggregate types, including lightweight aggregate (LWA) (particle density ≤ 2000 kg/m3 or loose bulk density ≤ 1200 kg/m3), manufactured, natural and recycled aggregates.
• Additional national requirements: Identification of source materials that require extra characteristics in one or more Member States (e.g., loss on ignition/TOC for some ashes, thermal conductivity requirements for certain slags, swelling or metal content checks for specific materials).
• Lightweight aggregates: Inventory of LWA source materials and intended uses (concrete, mortar, bituminous, unbound/hydraulically bound applications).
• Incorporation procedure: Describes how new source materials can be proposed for inclusion - based on routine market use and a formal request from at least one CEN member.
• User obligation: Even where a source material is listed, users must assess and comply with any place‑of‑use or national additional requirements.

Applications

• Selecting and specifying appropriate aggregate sources for:
  • Concrete production (EN 12620)
  • Bituminous mixtures and surface treatments (EN 13043)
  • Mortar and grout (EN 13139)
  • Road construction, unbound and hydraulically bound materials (EN 13242)
  • Armourstone and railway ballast (EN 13383‑1, EN 13450)
  • Lightweight aggregate applications (EN 13055)
• Evaluating suitability of recycled and by‑product materials (slag, fly ash, MIBA) for construction uses.
• Informing conformity assessment, procurement and contract specifications where secondary aggregates are considered.

Who uses this standard

• Standards bodies and technical committees (CEN/TC 154)
• Aggregate producers and processors (natural, manufactured, recycled)
• Civil, geotechnical and materials engineers, specifiers and contractors
• Public authorities, procurement officers and testing laboratories

Related standards

• EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139, EN 13242, EN 13383‑1, EN 13450, EN 13055 - refer to these for the specific product and performance requirements.

This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 29 December 2019 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to
submit their comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS
available promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in
parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and

4.2 Source materials with identified requirements on additional characteristics
In situations where the need for additional requirements has been identified by one or more Member
States, this means that these additional requirements are not (yet) included in the relevant standard(s).
This means that these sources are only suitable for its intended use when also the identified
characteristics in that Member State are taken into account before placed on the market as aggregates.
Additional characteristics may be specified on a case by case basis depending upon experience of use of
the product, and defined in specific contractual documents.
