15、ngdom. EN 12440:2008 (E) 4 Introduction The International marketing 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 o
16、f the stone, although this is not always the case. Sometimes, the name of a variety includes terms related to the geological classification of the rock (such as granite, marble, quartzite etc.) that may or may not coincide with the accurate petrological name of the rock. Other times, the same name i
17、s used to denominate different stones or similar varieties are denominated with different names. The objective of this European Standard is to unify the designation criteria of natural stone varieties, maintaining the traditional names and introducing terms related to its petrologic nature, typical
18、colour, and place of origin. An informative annex provides a non-exhaustive 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. EN 12440:2008 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the
19、 criteria for the designation of natural stone from raw material to finished products. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of
20、 the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 12407, Natural stone test methods Petrographic examination EN 12670:2001, Natural stone Terminology 3 Denomination of natural stone 3.1 General Natural stones will receive a description which shall include the following parts: 3.2 Name
21、of the natural stone (traditional name) The name of the natural stone under which it is marketed corresponds 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 and company names shall be avoided. NOTE Frequent
22、ly a place of origin of a specific stone does extend beyond purely administrative borderlines. A traditional name may include the designation of a variety name, which identifies a specific selection within a given type of rock and a given place of origin (e.g. the bench or level in the quarry, or so
23、me typical colour and character). 3.3 Petrological family Scientific name of the petrological family of the rock according to 3.2 of EN 12670:2001. If the rock is not included in the classifications of 3.2 of EN 12670:2001, an appropriate scientific term shall be employed. 3.4 Typical colour The ran
24、ge of colour that a stone variety shows. A visual colour appearance of one or more dry and clean bulk samples observed under shadow natural light. It is noted that surface finish and other features affect the visual colour impression of the stone. 3.5 Place of origin The location of the area or quar
25、ry 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 (see Annex A). EN 12440:2008 (E) 6 4 Other information 4.1 General If available or if agreed between buyer and seller, the followin
26、g data may also be provided: 4.2 Process finish For prepared products, the surface finish using an adequate term from 2.3 of EN 12670:2001. 4.3 Natural features Natural features that may affect the appearance of the stone, according to Clause 2 of EN 12670:2001, i.e.: veins, inclusions, clots, xenol
27、iths, texture, structures, cracks etc. 4.4 Petrographic name Scientific name of the rock according to 3.2 of EN 12670:2001, and obtained by petrographic examination according to EN 12407. 4.5 Geological age The age of the stone according to 3.1 of EN 12670:2001. It shall be given whenever possible.
28、If available, further geological data may be provided. EN 12440:2008 (E) 7 Annex A (informative) Traditional names of European natural stones A.1 General This annex is a non-exhaustive list of the majority of European natural stones and is a first attempt to list the stones produced in Europe and it
29、s petrological classification. It will be revised in further editions of this European Standard. The structure of the information on each stone variety is: name or names (traditional name); petrological family; typical colour; place of origin. In some cases the petrological family is provisional, pe
