This test method covers the determination of dc insulation resistance, volume resistance and resistivity, as well as surface resistance and resistivity, and the corresponding electrical conductance and conductivity, of specimens of agglomerated stone products conforming to the definition reported in EN 14618. These products are usually made by stone aggregates bound via either resin and filler or cement and water (paste components) or a mixture of polymer/cement and related addition (such as reinforcing fibres, electrically insulating/conducting fillers, etc.). Resistivity/conductivity may be also used as an indirect measure of some properties of agglomerated stones products (see Annex A).

This document specifies the terminology and classification of the agglomerated stone products. Agglomerated stone products are industrial products mainly made of hydraulic cement, resin or mixture of both, stones and other additions. They are industrially manufactured in geometrical shapes at a fixed plant by means of moulding techniques. They are put on the market in the form of dimensional shapes and cut to size material.
NOTE   All other products with resin concrete techniques (using common aggregates and not finalised to flooring, wall finishes and assimilated uses), like drainage channels, structural elements, etc., are excluded from the field of this standard.
