About This Item
TS 5694 is a terminology standard that defines terms used for natural building and facing stones. Its purpose is to establish a common technical language for these materials so that expressions related to stone type, use, and description are understood consistently in construction and stone-facing practice.
How the terminology is organised
The standard is concerned with the names used for natural stones in building and facing applications. In general technical context, these stones are distinguished by properties such as origin, texture, mineral composition, and workability. Clear terminology matters because the same stone may be discussed differently in geology, quarrying, architecture, and trade; a terminology standard helps reduce ambiguity across those fields.
The scope explicitly excludes stones mentioned in literature that are not used as facing or building stones. That boundary is important because the document is aimed at the practical vocabulary of materials used in construction and cladding, not at every stone term found in broader geological sources. In this way, the standard supports more precise communication for specification, design, and material identification.
- Defines terms related to natural building and facing stones.
- Supports consistent naming in technical and commercial communication.
- Excludes stones that are not used in building or facing applications.
- Bridges practical construction vocabulary with general stone terminology.
