EN 933-1 Tests for Geometrical Properties of Aggregates Part 1: Determination of Particle Size Distribution Sieving Method Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

The EN 933-1 test is a widely recognized and accepted method for determining the particle size distribution of aggregates, which is essential for various industries such as construction, mining, and environmental management. The standard is published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and is part of the EN 933 series of standards.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is governed by national laws and regulations, which vary depending on the country. In Europe, the EN 933-1 test is recognized as a harmonized standard under the Construction Products Directive (CPD), which ensures that products meet certain safety and performance requirements.

Internationally, the standard is aligned with ISO 4064:2005, ASTM C136-14, and other national standards. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) plays a crucial role in developing and maintaining international standards, while the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is responsible for publishing standards specific to the United States.

Eurolab is committed to providing high-quality laboratory testing services that meet or exceed the requirements of relevant standards. Our team of experts has extensive experience in conducting EN 933-1 tests and adheres strictly to the standards guidelines.
