Overview
SIST EN 13242:2003/oprA1:2006 sets out requirements for aggregates used in unbound and hydraulically bound materials for civil engineering and road construction. Issued by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST), this European standard amendment specifies physical, chemical, and classification properties of natural, manufactured, and recycled aggregates to ensure quality and safety in highways, infrastructure, and general construction. It aligns with EU directives for construction products, supporting compliance with regulatory frameworks across Europe.
Key Topics
- Aggregate Types: Covers natural, manufactured, and recycled aggregates, detailing their properties when used in unbound and hydraulically bound materials.
- Physical Requirements:
- Resistance to fragmentation (Los Angeles coefficient)
- Resistance to wear (Micro-Deval coefficient)
- Water absorption and density
- Chemical Requirements:
- Sulfate and sulfur contents, including acid-soluble and water-soluble forms
- Monitoring of dangerous substances as per EU regulations
- Classification of Recycled Aggregates:
- Proportion of constituents within coarse recycled aggregates
- Classification and declaration as per the standard
- Factory Production Control:
- Procedures for documenting raw material origin and input control for recycled aggregates
- Minimum testing frequencies for key physical and chemical characteristics
- CE Marking and Conformity:
- Guidance on CE marking information for legal market access
- Addressing essential characteristics like durability, composition, and performance in application
Applications
Aggregates standardized by SIST EN 13242:2003/oprA1:2006 are integral to:
- Road Construction: Foundation layers, sub-base, and base layers for roads and highways
- Civil Engineering: Infrastructure works including airports, bridges, railways, and embankments
- Hydraulically Bound Materials: Used in concrete and mortar mixes for enhanced structural integrity
- Sustainable Construction: Recycled aggregates promote circular economy principles, reducing natural resource consumption and landfill use
- Quality Assurance: Standard helps manufacturers, contractors, and suppliers meet regulatory and customer requirements, ensuring project specifications are met throughout Europe

⇒ Replace subclause C.3.4 with the following:
C.3.4 Knowledge of the raw material
There shall be documentation detailing the nature of the raw material, its source and where

It is the manufacturer's responsibility to ensure that if any dangerous substances are identified their
content does not exceed the limits in force according to the provisions valid in the place of use of
the aggregate.
NOTE Most of the dangerous substances defined in Council Directive 76/769/EEC are not usually present
in most sources of aggregates of mineral origin. However Note in clause ZA. 1 is drawn to the attention of the
aggregates manufacturer.
For recycled aggregates, there should be a documented input control of raw material to be recycled.
The input control procedures should identify:
- date of deposit,
- nature of the raw materials,
- place of origin,
- transporting agent.
