20、ndard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rig
21、hts. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationsh
22、ip with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This document is one of a series of European Standards for specifications of agglomerated stone products, which includes the following: EN 15285, Agglomerated stone Modular tiles for flooring and stairs (i

26、s 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 manufacturers data sheet, due account being taken of any regulatory requirements applic
27、able. 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
28、 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. BS EN 1528
29、6:2013EN 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 o
30、r 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 distribute
31、d 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 regul
32、atory 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 sh
33、all 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 t
34、ensile (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
35、 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 conductivit
36、y 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 wi
37、th EN ISO 13787 and the results expressed in W/(mK) 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 b
38、e declared. The thermal shock resistance shall be determined using the test method in EN 14617-6 and the results expressed accordingly. 1)Commission Decision 96/603/EC, as amended (see 1). BS EN 15286:2013EN 15286:2013 (E) 11 In case of textured upper face cladding slabs and tiles, the textured surf
39、ace 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 dim
40、ensional 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 regu
41、latory 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 expresse
42、d 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: acc
43、ording 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
44、 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 f
45、ixings 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
46、 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 done taking into account national provisions in the place of use.
