Table 1 — Tolerances on the nominal thickness Nominal thickness in mm Tolerance More than 12 Up to and including 30 ±10 % More than 30 Up to and including 80 ±3 mm More than 80 ±5 mm Stricter deviations may be declared by the manufacturer. NOTE If the slab is to be fixed by adhesives or a thin mortar bed, stricter deviations may be needed. The required thickness of slabs for floors and stairs shall result from a structural analysis or similar procedure which takes into account the technical and physical properties of the stone and the intended application. Visible edges shall be gauged. For natural cleft/riven faces, Table 1 does not apply and the deviations shall be set out by the manufacturer. 4.1.3 Flatness The deviation from flatness of the surface (except for natural cleft faces) when measured in accordance with EN 13373 shall not exceed 0,2 % of the slab length, and shall not exceed 3 mm. For natural cleft faces, the deviation on flatness shall be set out by the manufacturer. SIST EN 12058:2015



EN 12058:2015 (E) 8 4.1.4 Length and width The length or width shall not deviate from the nominal size by more than given in Table 2. Table 2 — Tolerances on length and width Nominal length or width < 600 mm ≥ 600 mm Sawn edges thickness ≤ 50 mm ±1 mm ±1,5 mm Sawn edges thickness > 50 mm ±2 mm ±3 mm Stricter deviations may be declared by the manufacturer. For natural cleft/riven edges, Table 1 does not apply and the tolerances on length, width and squareness shall be set out by the manufacturer. 4.1.5 Special shapes The permissible deviation at any point shall be as stated in Table 2 (see Figure 3). Each slab angle shall be in accordance with the agreed geometry. Pieces of special or irregular shape shall be checked for compliance with the required shape by use of a suitable template, the permissible tolerance at any point shall be as stated in Table 2 (see Figure 3).

EN 12058:2015 (E) 9 4.1.7 Surface finish 4.1.7.1 General Surface finishes shall extend uniformly to the edges of the slabs for floors and stairs. The surface finishing of some types of stones may typically involve the use of patching, fillers or other similar products for natural holes, faults or cracks; this is to be considered as part of the normal processing. In such cases the type of treatment, as well as the type and nature of additional materials, shall be declared. 4.1.7.2 Requirements for surfaces after surface finishing Surfaces shall have a regular appearance as a function of the finishing process and shall be worked to meet the specified finish on all exposed surfaces (e.g. making reference to samples, see 4.2.3), agreed in accordance with samples submitted and agreed beforehand between the purchaser and supplier. For definitions of surface finishes see EN 12670. 4.2 Physical and mechanical characteristics 4.2.1 General Whenever stone processing is likely to change the characteristics of the raw material (e.g. as a consequence of the type of processing or because the use of patching, fillers or other similar products for natural holes, faults, cracks and similar), then this has to be considered when determining the characteristics requested by this document. 4.2.2 Denomination When required this characteristic shall be declared in accordance with EN 12440 (it means traditional name, petrological family, typical colour and place of origin). NOTE The place of origin can be given by GPS coordinates. The petrographic definition shall be determined in accordance with EN 12407. 4.2.3 Visual appearance 4.2.3.1 General When required this characteristic shall be declared. The colour, veining, texture, etc. of the stone shall be identified visually, typically by a reference sample of the same stone suitable for providing a general description of visual appearance. The reference sample shall be provided by the supplier. 4.2.3.2 Reference sample, visual inspection and acceptance criteria A reference sample shall be an adequate number of pieces of natural stone of sufficient size to indicate the general appearance of the finished work. The dimensions of individual pieces shall be at least 0,01 m2 (typical values are between 0,01 m2 and 0,25 m2 in face area but may be more), and shall indicate the range of appearance regarding the colouring, the vein pattern, the physical structure and the surface finish. In particular the reference sample shall show specific characteristics of the stone, such as typical holes, glass seams, spots and crystalline veins. The reference sample does not imply strict uniformity between the sample itself and the actual supply; natural variations may always occur. SIST EN 12058:2015



EN 12058:2015 (E) 10 If the processing of the stone involves the use of patching, fillers or other similar products for natural holes, faults or cracks, then the reference sample shall similarly display the impact of the same on the finished surface. All the characteristics as shown by the reference sample shall be considered typical of the stone and not as flaws, therefore they shall not become a reason for rejection, unless their concentration becomes excessive and the typical character of the stone is lost. The name and address of the producer or the supplier, as well as the denomination of the stone in accordance with 4.2.2 above, shall be indicated on the reference sample. Any comparison between production sample and reference sample shall be carried out by placing the reference sample against the production samples and viewing them at a distance of about two metres under normal daylight conditions and recording any visible differences in the characteristics of the stones (see Figure 4).

EN 12058:2015 (E) 11 4.2.4 Flexural strength When required this characteristic shall be declared. The flexural strength shall be determined using the test method in EN 12372 and the mean value, lower expected value and standard deviation shall be declared. Where the surface finish of the delivered product has an influence on the characteristic, the test shall be carried out with this finish, in accordance with the technological tests defined in EN 12372. 4.2.5 Bond strength/adhesion The value of the bond strength adhesion depends on the condition of the layer, the type of adhesive/mortar and the surface finish of the back face. 4.2.6 Water absorption at atmospheric pressure When required the water absorption shall be determined using the test method in EN 13755 and the higher expected value (EH) shall be declared. 4.2.7 Reaction to fire When required this characteristic shall be declared. Natural stones are considered reaction to fire Class A1 following Commission Decision 96/603/EC, as amended, with the following exceptions. — Natural stones containing asphalt at greater than 1 % by mass or volume, whichever is the more onerous, and having a final use subject to fire regulations, shall be tested for reaction to fire and classified in accordance with EN 13501-1. — Whenever processing of natural stones involves the use of organic patching, fillers or other similar products for natural holes, faults, cracks or similar, at greater than 1 % by mass or volume, whichever is the more onerous and the same stones have a final use subject to fire regulations, then they shall be tested for reaction to fire and classified in accordance with EN 13501-1. 4.2.8 Water absorption by capillarity When required this characteristic shall be declared (e.g. when the slab for floors and stairs is to be used for elements in contact with a horizontal surface where water may be present). The water absorption by capillarity shall be determined using the test method in EN 1925 and the higher expected value (EH) shall be declared. For stone having an open porosity less than 1,0 % this test shall not be performed. 4.2.9 Apparent density and open porosity When required this characteristic shall be declared. The apparent density and open porosity shall be determined using the test method in EN 1936 and the mean values of the results expressed accordingly. SIST EN 12058:2015



EN 12058:2015 (E) 12 4.2.10 Durability 4.2.10.1 Durability of flexural strength against freeze–thaw When required this characteristic shall be determined using the test method in EN 12371 and the results declared: — as the value of the flexural strength without frost and after 56 freeze/thaw cycles by giving the mean value; — or in case the stone failed before 56 cycles, as the number of cycles necessary to initiate cracks, rupture, etc. For some specific uses it may be appropriate to use different test cycles, for example freezing in water, freezing to a lower temperature, or testing specimens embedded in non-porous siliceous granules or a different number of cycles. In these cases national provisions can be followed but these variations shall be clearly stated in the test report and in the product marking. NOTE The selection of the stone is subjected to climatic zone and/or to codes of practice. 4.2.10.2 Abrasion resistance This characteristic shall be declared, for slabs for flooring and stairs only, when subject to regulatory requirements or upon request. The abrasion resistance shall be determined using the test method in EN 14157 and the higher expected value (EH) shall be declared and expressed in millimetres when under method A or in cm3/50cm2 under method B. 4.2.11 Thermal shock resistance When required the resistance to thermal cycles shall be declare
