This European Standard specifies the characteristics of aggregates and filler aggregates obtained by processing natural, manufactured or recycled materials and mixtures of these aggregates for use in mortars, renders and screeds, e.g. masonry mortar, floor/screed mortar, surfacing of internal walls (plastering mortar), rendering of external walls, special bedding materials, repair mortar and grouts for buildings, roads and civil engineering works. It covers aggregates having an oven-dried particle density greater than 2,00 Mg/m3 . It also covers recycled and manufactured aggregate with particle densities greater than 1,50 Mg/m3 with appropriate caveats (See Annex A). Assessment of the density of recycled aggregates is typically carried out on coarse fractions. NOTE 1 Properties for lightweight aggregates are specified in EN 13055. The use of aggregates as soil is not covered by this standard. NOTE 2 due to huge variation of geological and pedological conditions in Europe, precise defin
