This European Standard specifies the requirements for loose-fill expanded clay lightweight
aggregate products for in-situ installation in civil engineering applications, such as light weight fill and frost
insulation. Other typical applications are reduction of lateral earth pressure on retaining walls and bridge
abutments, as dampers for elimination of vibrations. The standard describes product characteristics and
includes procedures for testing, evaluation of conformity, marking and labelling. The standard does not
specify the required class or level of a given property to be achieved by a product to demonstrate fitness for
purpose in a particular application. The classes and levels required for a given application are to be found in
regulations or non-conflicting standards.
