New European
Standard for Aggregate Concrete
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.
