Blocks

The Concrete Block Association (CBA) has created a new guide to help specifiers and builders understand the implications of the new BS EN 771-3: Aggregate concrete masonry units (dense and lightweight aggregates) European standard. BS EN 771-3 replaces the existing BS 6073-1 with effect from April 2006 after a 12-month period of co-existence. Although it is not expected to have any direct impact on the type and use of aggregate concrete blocks currently used, there are some changes that effect the way in which products are tested and specified.
