Overview
This document specifies the terms and definitions, requirements and test methods for earth blocks manufactured in factories.

For the application, the Lehmbau-Regeln (German regulations for building with earth) apply. This standard is not applicable for stabilized earth blocks. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-06-08 AA "Lehmbau" ("Construction materials made of earth") at DIN.
