Concrete kerb units. Requirements and test methods (British Standard)

This European Standard specifies materials, properties, requirements and test methods for unreinforced, cement bound precast concrete kerbs, channels and complementary fittings, that are particularly for use in external trafficked paved areas and roof coverings. The units are used to fulfil one or more of the following: Separation, physical or visual delineation, the provision of drainage or the containment of paved areas or other surfacing. In case of regular use of studded tyres, additional requirements are sometimes needed. This standard provides for the product marking and the evaluation of conformity of the product to this European standard. Apart from the tolerances, this standard does not include requirements for cross-sections, shapes and dimensions. This standard does not deal with the tactility or visibility of kerbs.
