This document describes the reference method, the Los Angeles test, used for type testing and in
case of dispute (and an alternative method, the impact test) for determining the resistance to
fragmentation of coarse aggregates (main text) and aggregates for railway ballast (Annex A). For
other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods are possible provided
that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established.
This document applies to natural, manufactured or recycled aggregates used in building and civil
engineering.Cross References:EN 10025-2:2004EN 932-5EN 933-1EN 933-2EN 1097-6EN 932-2DIN 52115-2:2014EN ISO 6508-1:2016EN ISO 16396-1:2015ISO 5725-2:1994ISO 8062:1994ISO 185:2005ISO 683-3:2014ISO 4957:1999ISO 48:2010ISO 4762:2004ISO 2768-2:1989ISO 3302-1:2014ISO 2768-1:1989EN 10083-2:2006All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
