ISO 19579 Determination of Aggregate Angularity Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab
ISO 19579:2018 is a laboratory testing standard that specifies the procedures for determining the angularity of aggregates. The standard is developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in collaboration with other national standards bodies.
The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is primarily governed by national regulations, such as those established by the European Unions Construction Products Regulation (CPR). These regulations require that construction materials, including aggregates, meet specific requirements to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
Internationally, ISO 19579:2018 is a widely accepted standard for determining aggregate angularity. National standards bodies, such as ASTM International in the United States and EN 933-10 in Europe, also have similar standards for this testing service.
Standard Development Organizations
The development of ISO 19579:2018 involved collaboration between national standards bodies, industry experts, and researchers. The standard is periodically reviewed and updated to reflect new research findings and changes in regulations.
