About This Item
TS 5694 EN 12670 is a terminology standard for the natural stone sector. It brings together the classification of natural stone, technical terms, product names and recommended scientific terminology so that the same concepts can be used consistently across quarrying, building materials work and laboratory documentation.
How the terminology framework is used
Natural stone is described through several connected ideas: geological origin, material structure, product form and intended use. A terminology standard helps separate everyday commercial naming from precise technical definition, for example when discussing a block, slab, tile or cladding element. In practice, this makes drawings, specifications, catalogues and test reports easier to read and compare.
What this standard covers
- Terms related to the classification of natural stones
- Technical terminology and scientific naming
- Basic definitions for natural stone products
- Terminology used in connection with test methods
In general technical context, natural stone includes rock-based materials such as granite, marble, limestone, sandstone and slate. Terminology standards do not by themselves set product performance limits or prescribe full testing regimes; instead, they provide a shared language that supports clear communication in specifications, laboratory work and trade documents. This edition is published from EN 12670 and represents a withdrawn standard record.
