Foreword
This British Standard has been revised under the authority of the Aggregates,
Natural Stone and Quarry Products Industry Standards Committee.
The changes which have been made were occasioned by the revision of BS 812
in 1967 and BS 410 in 1969, coupled with the metrication programme.
Specific requirements relating to organic impurities have been omitted, pending
a full technical revision, because of insufficient experience of applying the results
from the method given in the 1967 revision of BS 812 and the possibility that this
may be withdrawn.
Because of metrication, the size of the largest particles has been increased
Summary of pages
This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii,
