Bibliography

Defines materials, properties and methods of testing for unreinforced cement-bound terrazzo tiles which are factory made and sold ready to be placed.

This European Standard specifies materials, properties and methods of testing for unreinforced cement-bound terrazzo tiles which are factory made and sold ready to be placed.

The tiles are intended for external use (including roofing applications) in pedestrian areas, e.g. walkways, terraces, commercial centres and swimming-pools, etc, where the decorative aspect of the covering is predominant.

NOTE This standard applies to ex-factory products and does not take into account the laying of the product.
