DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing

Overview

This European Standard specifies test methods for slate and carbonate slate for roofing and wall cladding. It is applicable to natural roofing products as defined in EN 12326-1:2004 used for assembly into discontinuous roofs and external wall cladding.
This document (EN 12326-2:2011) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 128 "Roof covering products for discontinuous laying and products for wall cladding", the secretariat of which is held by NBN (Belgium).
The responsible national committee is Working Committee NA 062-03-12 AA "Schiefer; Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren" ("Roofing slate; Specifications and methods of test") of the Materials Testing Standards Committee (NMP) at DIN.
The following modifications have been made with respect to DIN EN 12326-2:2004-11:
a) clause 10 "Determination of the modulus of rupture, and characteristic modulus of rupture", clause 12 "Freeze-thaw test" and clause 13 "Determination of the apparent calcium carbonate and non carbonate carbon content by catalytic thermal decomposition" have been technically revised; b) new informative Annex B "Petrographic examination of origin and identification of slate" has been added.
