Standards

European Standards for Aggregates

  • Harmonised European Standards are essential for a free market and a level playing field for construction products. They a are necessary to provide a common technical language, with harmonized assessments and tests providing equality and consistency for a fair competition. Aggregates Europe – UEPG expert members are actively involved in the CEN (European Committee of Standardisation) to deliver harmonised standards for aggregates.
