EN 932-2 Tests for General Properties of Aggregates Part 2: Methods for Sampling Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Eurolabs laboratory testing service is based on the European Standard EN 932-2, which provides methods for sampling aggregates. This standard is part of a larger series of standards that cover various aspects of aggregate testing, including physical and chemical properties.

International Standards

EN 932-2 is based on international standards, including:

  • ISO 14695:2015 (Aggregates Sampling)

  • EN 933-1:2012A1:2014 (Methods for test for aggregates Part 1: Determination of particle size distribution)

  • ASTM C136/C136M-14 (Standard Test Method for Sieve Analysis of Fine and Coarse Aggregates)

    • National Standards

    In addition to international standards, national standards may apply depending on the country of operation. For example:

  • TSE (Turkish Standardization Institute) TS 706:2016 (Aggregates Sampling)

  • DIN EN 932-2:2009-10 (Methods for test for aggregates Part 2: Methods for sampling)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations play a crucial role in the development and maintenance of standards. Some notable organizations include:

  • CEN (European Committee for Standardization)

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

  • ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)

    • These organizations ensure that standards are developed, reviewed, and updated to reflect changes in technology and industry needs.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies emerge or existing ones improve. This is reflected in the revision history of EN 932-2:

  • EN 932-2:2009 (initial publication)

  • EN 932-2:2015 (first revision)

    • Standard Numbers and Scope

    EN 932-2 has a specific standard number and scope:

  • Standard Number: EN 932-2:2015

  • Scope: This European Standard specifies methods for sampling aggregates from stockpiles, trucks, or other conveyance equipment. The methods are applicable to natural and artificial aggregates.

    • Compliance Requirements

    Standards compliance is essential in various industries, including construction, infrastructure development, and environmental protection. Non-compliance can result in project delays, cost overruns, or even legal consequences.
