4.1.5 Surface finish Surface finish shall extend uniformly to the edges of a cladding slab or a tile. Surface after its finishing shall have a regular appearance as a function of the finishing process and shall be worked to meet the declared surface finish. This should be established on the samples of a cladding slab or a tile submitted beforehand by the manufacturer to the purchaser. EXAMPLE Surface finishes of a cladding slab or a tile include: − fine ground surfaces, obtained, e.g. by means of a grinding disk of grain size F 220; − matte finished surfaces, obtained, e.g. by means of a polishing disk with grain size F 400; − highly polished surfaces, obtained, e.g. by means of a polishing disk or felt. 4.2 Physical and mechanical characteristics 4.2.1 General The characteristics of the cladding slabs or tiles in 4.2.2 to 4.2.12 shall be declared when these products are subject to regulatory requirements and may be declared otherwise with reference to intended end use conditions. Contractual specifications may be used to establish reference values, e.g. stated in design or manufacturer’s data sheet, due account being taken of any regulatory requirements applicable. 4.2.2 Visual appearance This characteristic of a cladding slab or a tile shall be declared. The colour, surface finish and brightness of the agglomerated stone, which a cladding slab or a tile is made of, shall be identified visually according to Annex C, e.g. by a range of samples selected in agreement between manufacturer and purchaser. Any visual variations, e.g. inclusions and veins, are permissible provided that they are characteristic of the relevant type of agglomerated stone and provided that they do not adversely affect the performances of the cladding slabs or tiles. SIST EN 15286:2013
EN 15286:2013 (E) 10 Reference samples shall be as described in Annex C. 4.2.3 Reaction to fire Reaction to fire performance shall be declared when cladding slabs or tiles are intended to be used in areas subjected to reaction to fire regulation and may be declared otherwise. A cladding slab or a tile may be classified without the need for testing (CWT) as the reaction to fire Class A11), when it is made of an agglomerated stone containing: a) an organic material as a binder, if any, of not more than 0,1 % by mass or volume, whichever is the most onerous; and b) a homogenously distributed organic material as an aggregate, if any, of not more than 1 % by mass or volume, whichever is the most onerous.
A cladding slab or a tile made of an agglomerated stone, which does not comply with the provisions a) and b) given above and having an intended use subject to the reaction to fire regulatory requirements shall be classified in accordance with EN 13501-1 after being tested in accordance with the test standards given therein, including mounting and fixings in accordance with EN 13823. 4.2.4 Apparent density and water absorption
The values for apparent density and water absorption shall be declared when a cladding slab or a tile is fixed (glued) by an adhesive or mortar and is intended to be used in a location subject to water contact. They shall be determined according to EN 14617-1 and the results expressed accordingly. 4.2.5 Flexural tensile strength The value for flexural tensile (bending) strength of a cladding slab or a tile shall be declared when required. The flexural tensile strength shall be determined using the test method in EN 14617-2 and the results expressed accordingly. In case of the textured upper face cladding slabs and tiles, the textured surface shall be prepared by grinding until fully flat or use flat samples of the same material with the minimum thickness dmin (see Figure 2). 4.2.6 Thermal conductivity Where a cladding slab or a tile is fixed (glued) by adhesive or mortar and subject to regulatory requirements the value for thermal conductivity shall be declared. Thermal conductivity shall be based on the apparent density value, determined using the test method indicated in 4.2.4. This value shall be used to calculate the thermal conductivity according to EN ISO 10456. Thermal conductivity may also be obtained by testing in accordance with EN ISO 13787 and the results expressed in W/(m·K) rounded to the first decimal place. 4.2.7 Thermal shock resistance Where subject to regulatory requirements or where a cladding slab or a tile is intended to be used subject to critical thermal cycles, the value for thermal shock resistance shall be declared. The thermal shock resistance shall be determined using the test method in EN 14617-6 and the results expressed accordingly.

EN 15286:2013 (E) 11 In case of textured upper face cladding slabs and tiles, the textured surface shall be prepared by grinding until fully flat or use flat samples of the same material with the minimum thickness dmin (see Figure 2). 4.2.8 Linear thermal expansion coefficient Where subject to contractual request or where a cladding slab or a tile is intended to be used subject to relevant dimensional variations due to thermal actions, the value for linear thermal expansion coefficient shall be declared. The linear thermal expansion coefficient shall be determined using the test method in EN 14617-11 and the results expressed accordingly. 4.2.9 Dimensional stability Where subject to regulatory requirements or where a cladding slab or a tile is intended to be installed by an adhesive or mortar, on which it is sensitive to, the class for dimensional stability shall be declared. The dimensional stability shall be determined using the test method in EN 14617-12 and the results expressed accordingly. 4.2.10 Bond strength/adhesion When the intended use of a cladding slab or tile includes their fixation glued by adhesive or mortar the bond/strength adhesion shall be determined according to the test method of at least one of the following standards: a) for cementitious adhesives: according to EN 1348; b) for dispersion adhesives: according to EN 1324; c) for reaction resin adhesives: according to EN 12003; d) for mortar: according to EN 1015-12. The manufacturer shall declare the test result for the specific type of adhesive(s) and/or mortar tested. 4.2.11 Resistance to fixings When the intended use of a cladding slab or tile includes their mechanical fixation, the resistance to fixings (Dowel hole) shall be determined using the test method in EN 14617-8 and the results expressed accordingly. The performance of the chosen fixation system with regard to the resistance to fixings should be designed taking into account the declared results of the mentioned test method. 4.2.12 Release of dangerous substances National regulations on dangerous substances may require, verification and declaration on release, and sometimes content, of dangerous substances, when construction products covered by this standard are placed on those markets. In the absence of European harmonised test methods, verification and declaration on release/content should be don
