NS-EN Aggregate for bituminous... SC3
NS-EN Lightweight aggregates SC5
NS-EN Lightweight aggregates (bit.) SC5
NS-EN Aggregates for mortar SC1
NS-EN Aggregates for unbound and.. SC4
NS-EN Armourstone SC4/WG1
NS-EN Aggregates for railway ballast SC4/WG2
Test standards SC6

4. New standards
Guidelines/requirement specification
General and special condition of contracts
General and special work specifications
Tender document
Contract document

5. NOTIFIED BODY
notified body within the product areas reinforced concrete products, cement, reinforcing steels, aggregates, products related to concrete and products for masonry.
In addition to the role as notified body Kontrollrådet is also accredited both for product certification, quality system certification and environmental certification.

6. Aggregates - road construction
Important standards:
NS-EN Aggregates for concrete
NS-EN Aggregate for bituminous...
NS-EN Lightweight aggregates
NS-EN Aggregates for unbound and..
Test standards (several standards)
Attestation of conformity system:
Unbound aggregate – module 4
Bound aggregates - module 2+

7. Revision of the Norwegian design guide for road construction – 01
NS-EN Aggregates for unbound and hydraulically...
NS-EN Aggregates for bituminous....
NS-EN Aggregates for concrete

8. Example – sub-base layer

9. Example – asphalt base layer (asphalt gravel)

10. Wearing course (asphalt concrete)

11. General Specification
Design guide - HB 018
General Specification
Other requirements and
national standards

12. General Conditions of Contracts
Include:
Specification and quantity
Reference to HB025, 026 and HB018
Special conditions
Demands on:
CE-documentation
Certification
Attestation of conformity
FPC
deadlines

13. Tender documents
Contract

14. Test standards Translated into Norwegian
Layout changed to fit the rest of the described standards
Question:
relation to official documents?
need for this handbook?
just a working list?
paper or intranet?

16. NS 3420- Specification texts for building, construction and installations
32 sections
Example from section I5 –
Roads, railroads and airports:

17. Standards used in the concrete industry
NS-EN Aggregates for concrete
NS-EN Lightweight aggregates
NS-EN Aggregates for mortar
Bound aggregates: Attestation of conformity system – module 2+

18. Make publication for manufacturing concrete updated according to 12620
The Norwegian Concrete Association (Norsk Betongforening, NB) is a professional society with 914 members (as per June 30, 2004).
Make publication for manufacturing concrete
updated according to 12620
(and other EN-standards)

19. NS-EN 13450 Aggregates for railway ballast
Jernbaneverket, the Norwegian National Rail Administration, is delayed in the implementation of the EN-standards
producers must be certified from next year

20. NS-EN Armourstone
Not implemented

21. Summarize CEN/TC154 Standards for:
concrete industry– implementation OK
road construction – partly implemented, but still a lot of work to be done
railways – delayed
armourstone – not implemented
