TS EN 14618

TS EN 14618 is a terminology and classification standard for agglomerated stone products. It provides a common technical language for this engineered material family, helping manufacturers, designers, suppliers and laboratories refer to the same product categories in the same way.

Technical context of agglomerated stone

Agglomerated stone is generally a composite product made by combining mineral particles, such as stone fragments, with a binding system. It can be intended to resemble natural stone in appearance and use, but it is distinct from quarried natural stone because its composition, manufacturing route and resulting properties are engineered. Separating terminology from classification matters because accurate naming supports product selection, technical communication, quality documentation and comparison across different sources of supply.

What this standard covers

• Terms related to agglomerated stone products.
• The classification of these products.
• A shared technical framework linking terminology and classification.
• More consistent naming for natural-stone-related and mineral-based products.

At a conceptual level, the standard organizes the material family; it does not state a performance limit, a formulation recipe or a test method in the information provided here. Its value is in defining how the product category is understood so that technical communication remains consistent and unambiguous.
