Foreword
This European Standard has been prepared by TC 246 "Natural Stone", the secretariat of which is
held by UNI.
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 April 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by December 2002.
This draft standard is one of the series of draft standards for tests on natural stone.
Test methods for natural stone consist of the following parts:
Natural stone test methods – Determination of water absorption coefficient by
EN 1925
capillarity.
Natural stone test methods – Determination of compressive strength
EN 1926 .
EN 1936 Natural stone test methods – Determination of real density and apparent density and
of total porosity and open porosity.
EN 12370 Natural stone test methods – Determination of resistance to salt crystallisation.
Natural stone test methods – Determination of flexural strength under concentrated
EN 12372
load.
Natural stone test methods – Determination of frost resistance.

prEN …(WI 00246018) .
prEN …(WI 00246030) Natural stone test methods – Determination of surface finishes (rugosity).
It is intended that other European Standards should call up this European Standard as the basis of
evaluation of conformity.
NOTE Nevertheless it is not intended that all natural stones products should be subjected regularly to
all the listed tests. Specifications in other standards should call up only relevant test methods.
The Annex A contained in this European Standard is normative.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies a method to determine the flexural strength of natural stones under
constant moment. The standard contains provision for both an identification test and for a
technological test.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other
publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the
publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any
of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or
revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including
amendments).
EN 12390-4 Testing hardened concrete - Part 4: Compressive strength - Specification for
testing machines.
EN 12390-5 Testing hardened concrete - Part 5: Flexural strength of test specimens.
3 Principle
After appropriate preparation a specimen of the rock to be tested is laid and centred between two
supports. Thereafter the specimen is subjected to two line loads acting on the top of the specimen and
so that each load is located at a distance of one third of the length of span. The loads are steadily
increased until failure.
