This European Standard is one of a series of European Standards for natural stone products including terminology, test methods and product st

BS EN 12440:2017EN 12440:2017 (E) 4 Introduction The International mar
23、keting of natural stone has introduced a great number of names to designate the different varieties of stone. Most of them are traditional names and usually reflect the typical colour and/or other natural features and the place of origin of the stone, although this is not always the case. Sometimes,
24、 the name of a variety includes terms related to the geological classification of the rock (such as granite, marble, quarzite, etc) that may or may not coincide with the accurate petrological name of the rock. Other times the same name is used to denominate different stones or similar varieties are
25、denominated with different names. The objective of this standard is to unify the designation criteria of natural stone varieties, maintaining the traditional names and introducing terms related to its petrologic nature, typical colour and place of origin. Informative Annex A provides a non-exhaustiv
26、e provisional list of the names under which most stones from each contributing European country are known. This list is subjected to revision in future editions. BS EN 12440:2017EN 12440:2017 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard establishes the criteria for the designation of natural stone from raw
27、material to finished products. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the reference
28、d document (including any amendments) applies. EN 1469, Natural stone products - Slabs for cladding - Requirements EN 12407, Natural stone test methods - Petrographic examination EN 12670:2001, Natural stone - Terminology 3 Denomination of natural stone The denomination of natural stones shall inclu
29、de the following parts: 3.1 Name of the natural stone (traditional or commercial name): The name of the natural stone under which it is marketed corresponding to a particular type of rock and with a specific place of origin. Geographical names not related with the actual place of origin of the stone
30、 and company names shall be avoided. 3.2 Petrological family/group: Scientific name of the rock obtained by petrographic examination according to EN 12407 and EN 12670. Examples of petrological families/groups are included in of EN 12670:2001, Annex A. 3.3 Typical colour: The range of colour that a
31、stone variety shows. A visual impression on one or more dry bulk samples observed under shadow natural light. It is noted that moisture, dust, surface finish and other features affect the visual colour impression of the stone, thus whatever the observation conditions might be, these shall be reporte
32、d. See EN 1469 Natural stone products - Slabs for cladding - Requirements. 3.4 Place of origin: The location of the area or quarry shall be as precise as possible, including at least, the city or village, municipality or community, county, province or department and country, separated by a comma (se
33、e Annex A). Geo-coordinates could be used with a reference to the coordinate system used. 4 Other information If available or if agreed between buyer and seller, the following data can also be provided: 4.1 Process conditions: For prepared products, the surface conditions should be described using a
34、n adequate term from EN 12670. BS EN 12440:2017EN 12440:2017 (E) 6 4.2 Natural features: Natural features that may affect the appearance of the stone, should be described according to EN 12670, i.e.: veins, inclusions, clots, xenoliths, texture, structures, cracks, etc. 4.3 Petrographic name: Scient
35、ific name of the rock according to EN 12670, and obtained by petrographic examination according to EN 12407. 4.4 Geological age: The age of the stone according to EN 12670 should be given as accurate as possible. If available, further geological data such as geological formation, etc., should be pro
36、vided.

It wil
37、l be revised in further editions of this standard. The structure of the information on each stone variety is: name or names (traditional name); petrological group; typical colour; place of origin. In some cases the petrological group is provisional, pending to be established using EN 12407 and EN 12
