4 Requirements 4.1 Dimensional characteristics 4.1.1 Shape and dimensions 4.1.1.1 Shape Clay pavers shall be rectangular or any other shape that allows them to be laid in a repeating pattern. They may be provided with a chamfer on the arrises around one or more of the paver surfaces that are intended to form the wearing face. If a chamfer has a work dimension greater than 7 mm in width or depth (see Figure 3), this shall be stated by the manufacturer. NOTE The restriction on the size of the chamfer prevents the formation of an excessively wide recessed joint. Clay pavers for flexible paving may also be provided with spacer nibs on two or more of the paver surfaces. Clay pavers for rigid paving shall either be rectangular or shaped so that they may be laid in a combination with each other separated only by a nominal 10 mm mortar joint. Pavers for rigid paving should not incorporate spacer nibs. 4.1.1.2 Work dimensions The work dimensions of length, width and thickness of rectangular pavers shall be stated in millimetres in that order. It shall also be declared in which orientation(s) the pavers may be used (i.e. which is/are the wearing face(s)). The geometry of non-rectangular pavers shall be given if necessary by reference to a scale drawing or sketch upon which the work size dimensions are marked. The work thickness of pavers for flexible paving shall be not less than 40 mm and the work dimensions shall be such that the ratio of overall length to thickness is not greater than 6. The work thickness for pavers for rigid paving shall be not less than 30 mm. 4.1.1.3 Dimensional tolerances 4.1.1.3.1 General The subsequent parameters on dimensional tolerances are relevant for clay pavers but not for accessories. 4.1.1.3.2 Mean value When sampled in accordance with Annex A and measured in accordance with Annex B, the mean value for a given dimension of a sample of 10 pavers shall not differ from the declared work dimension by more than d4,0 rounded to the nearest mm, where d is the work dimension (in mm). Manufacturers able to supply pavers having a smaller deviation of the mean value from the declared work dimension than is given by the above expression may declare a smaller deviation in mm for each dimension.
4.1.1.3.3 Range The difference between the largest and the smallest measurement of any given measured dimension to be found within a sample of 10 pavers, taken from a consignment in accordance with Annex A and measured in accordance with Annex B, shall be stated by reference to one of the two classes given in Table 1.

mm R0 No requirement R1 ≤ 0,6d Manufacturers able to supply pavers having a smaller range than indicated by class R1 may declare a smaller range in mm for each dimension in class Rm.
4.2 Physical characteristics 4.2.1 General Clay pavers and/or accessories may or may not be chemically treated after their firing. Such post-firing treatment may have an impact on their non-treated performances of the freeze/ thaw resistance (see 4.2.2), of the transverse breaking load (see 4.2.3), of the abrasion resistance (see 4.2.4), the unpolished slip and skid resistance (see 4.2.5) and of acid resistance (see 4.3.3). If a manufacturer wishes to apply a post firing chemical treatment, the clay pavers and accessories shall be tested both with and without the post firing chemical treatment. The testing shall be in accordance with the requirements of the relevant clause of this European Standard and the characteristics shall be declared in accordance with the requirements of the relevant clause. 4.2.2 Freeze/thaw resistance
It shall be stated whether the pavers and accessories are intended to meet the criteria for freeze/thaw resistance included in the method given in Annex C. When sampled in accordance with Annex A and tested by the chosen method the pavers shall meet the relevant criteria given in the test method. Classification of the pavers shall be indicated by the appropriate declaration shown in Table 2. Table 2 — Freeze/thaw resistance Class Performance FP0 No requirement FP100 Freeze/thaw resistant
The freeze/thaw characteristics of FP100 clay pavers are not affected by commonly used de-icing salts. 4.2.3 Transverse breaking load
The transverse breaking load of the pavers for each of the orientations in which the pavers may be used shall be stated by reference to Table 3. When sampled in accordance with Annex A and tested in accordance with Annex D, with their wearing faces uppermost, the mean value and the minimum individual value of the transverse breaking load of a sample of ten pavers shall be not less than the appropriate value given in Table 3 and be classified accordingly. Some pavers have more than one orientation. Manufacturers who are able to supply pavers with more than one orientation should state the orientation upon which the test was performed. Accessories cannot be tested in accordance with Annex D because of different shape and dimensions and it may be assumed they have at least the same performance as the accompanying pavers.

4.2.5.1 Conditions Clay pavers and accessories have satisfactory slip and skid resistance provided that their whole upper surface has not been ground and/or polished, or manufactured, such that a very smooth surface is produced. 4.2.5.2 Test method If in an exceptional case the unpolished slip/skid resistance value (USRV) is required, the USRV of the pavers and accessories shall be stated by reference to one of the classes given in Table 5. If the pavers may be used in more than one orientation, the values for the intended wearing faces shall be declared. NOTE The unpolished slip and skid resistance value relates to pavers as manufactured and helps to ensure adequate slip and skid on installation.
