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

Standards used in the concrete industry NS-EN 12620 Aggregates for concrete NS-EN 13055-1 Lightweight aggregates NS-EN 13139 Aggregates for mortar Bound aggregates: Attestation of conformity system – module 2+

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)

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

NS-EN 13383-1 Armourstone Not implemented

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
