TSE CEN/TR 16886
Guidance on the application of statistical methods for determining the properties of masonry product
In the masonry unit standards and in national legislation, some properties need to be declared
based on a certain fractile and confidence level. To demonstrate compliance with that a
statistical tool can be used.

About This Item
TSE CEN/TR 16886 is a technical guidance document on applying statistical methods when determining the properties of masonry units. Its central issue is how to use statistical tools when certain properties must be declared according to a specified fractile and confidence level.
Why statistics matter in masonry product declarations
Masonry units include products such as bricks, blocks and similar building elements used in wall construction and related applications. Their properties may vary from one production batch to another, so a single test result is rarely enough to represent the whole population. Statistical treatment helps turn sample results into a more reliable statement about the product group as a whole.
In general technical terms, this kind of guidance explains how distribution-based thinking supports product declaration, quality assessment and conformity demonstration. Fractiles describe a value below or above which a defined proportion of results is expected to lie, while confidence level expresses how much statistical assurance is attached to that estimate. The document therefore sits at the interface between masonry product standards and the statistical interpretation of test data.
- Declaration of certain properties using a specified fractile and confidence level
- Use of statistical tools to assess masonry unit properties
- Support for interpreting batch-to-batch variability in product data
- Technical guidance aligned with masonry unit standards and national legislation
