EN 772-1:2011+A1:2015 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 772-1:2011+A1:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 125 “Masonry”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2015, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2015. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes !EN 772-1:2011." This document includes Amendment 1 approved by CEN on 2015-04-14. The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags !". There have been no technical changes compared to EN 772-1:2000. The opportunity has been taken to introduce a normative Annex B which includes the methods of surface preparation and conditioning for each unit type. This information was previously available in the product specifications only, consequently EN 771-1 now becomes a stand-alone document. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

% Maximum permissible mean error of forces as percentage of indicated force
% Maximum permissible error of zero force as percentage of maximum force of range
% 2,0 ± 2,0 ± 0,4 The testing machine shall have adequate capacity to crush all the test specimens, but the scale used shall be such that the failure load on the specimen exceeds one-fifth of the full scale reading. The machine shall be provided with a load-pacer or equivalent means to enable the load to be applied at the rate given in 8.2. The testing machine shall be equipped with two steel-bearing platens. The stiffness of the platens and the manner of load transfer shall be such that the deflection of the platen surfaces at failure load shall be less than 0,1 mm measured over 250 mm. The platens shall either be through hardened or the faces case hardened. The testing faces shall have a Vickers hardness of at least 600 HV when tested in accordance with EN ISO 6507-1. One platen of the machine shall be able to align freely with the specimens as contact is made, but shall be restrained by friction or other means from tilting during loading. The other platen shall be a plane non-tilting block. The bearing faces of both platens shall be larger than the size of the largest specimen to be tested. Where auxiliary platens are used, they shall be properly located and of the same hardness, stiffness and planeness as the main platens. The bearing surfaces of the platens shall not depart from a plane by more than 0,05 mm. 6.2 Weighing instrument capable of weighing specimens to an accuracy of 0,1 % of their mass. 6.3 Sufficient stiff steel strips for use on shell bedded or strip bedded ground units (See 8.1). 7 Preparation of specimens 7.1 Sampling The method of sampling shall be in accordance with the relevant part of EN 771. The minimum number of specimens shall be six, but a larger minimum number may be specified in the product specification, in which case that larger number shall be used. In the case of large masonry units representative portions, e.g. cubes, may be cut from the masonry unit in different positions as stated in the relevant part of EN 771 (see also Note to 7.2.4).

EN 772-1:2011+A1:2015 (E) 6 7.2 Surface preparation 7.2.1 General Specimens shall be tested in the orientation specified, and this shall be stated in the test report. For certain forms of construction, it will be necessary to test the masonry units in more than one orientation. Where grinding in accordance with 7.2.4 significantly alters the contact surface or reduces the height significantly alternative approaches are required, see 7.2.4. Where it is not practicable to prepare clay HD units by grinding e.g. high strength units, the surface preparation may be carried out by capping in accordance with 7.2.5 After the removal of any superfluous material, e.g. flashing from the production process, the faces of the specimen, whether a whole masonry unit or a piece cut from a larger unit (see 7.1), through which the load is to be applied, shall be plane to a tolerance of 0,1 mm in any 100 mm and such that the top surface lies between two parallel planes which are parallel to the bottom surface, and not greater than 1 mm apart for every 100 mm. If the test faces of the masonry unit as manufactured, or the piece cut from a larger unit, fail to achieve this specification, then prepare the surfaces either by grinding (see 7.2.4) or by capping (see 7.2.5). Masonry units containing frogs, and not required to be capped, shall additionally be treated as given in 7.2.3. If the specimens contain grooves or tongues first prepare them as given in 7.2.2. Test specimens shall be prepared in accordance with Annex B. State the method of surface preparation in the test report. 7.2.2 Removal of tongues and grooves Remo
