Scope

This document specifies the essential characteristics of outer wall elements made of the mineral
materials concrete, autoclaved aerated concrete, ceramic, expanded perlite (EP), expanded

This document specifies procedures for the testing, marking and assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of characteristics of the outer wall elements and their fittings.
