About This Item
TS EN 12670 is a terminology standard for natural stone, bringing together recommended terms and definitions used in this field. Its purpose is to support a common technical language for scientific, commercial, and specification work so that stone types, product names, and classification concepts are understood consistently across different users and contexts.
What the terminology framework helps distinguish
Natural stone is a broad family of geological materials used in construction, cladding, flooring, landscaping, and memorial applications. In practice, terminology standards help separate rock type names, trade names, property descriptors, and classification expressions that might otherwise be used interchangeably. That clarity matters because natural stone is identified not only by appearance, but also by origin, structure, and intended use.
Document boundaries and technical context
This standard is focused on terminology rather than on prescribing manufacturing requirements or product performance limits. In general technical use, a vocabulary standard serves as a reference point for test reports, specifications, catalogue descriptions, and cross-border communication, reducing ambiguity when natural stone products and related concepts are described in professional documentation.
