ÖNORM EN 1340

This European Standard specifies materials, properties, requirements and test methods for unreinforced, cement bound precast concrete kerb units, channels and complementary fittings, that are for use in trafficked paved areas and roof coverings. The units are used to fulfil one or more of the following: Separation, physical or visual delineation, the provision of drainage or the containment of paved areas or other surfacing. In case of regular use of studded tyres, additional requirements are sometimes needed. This standard provides for the product marking and the evaluation of conformity of the product to this European standard. Apart from the tolerances, this standard does not include requirements for cross-sections, shapes and dimensions. This standard does not deal with the tactility or visibility of kerbs. The present National Annex specifies the nationally determined shape and dimensions as well as classes of weather resistance according to ÖNORM EN 1340 in order to ensure the durability of the product for its use in Austria.
