What is PD CEN/TR 16886 - Properties of masonry products about?

PD CEN/TR 16886 is the international standard on masonry which is a durable material that allows for a variety of reliable and aesthetically pleasing finishes as well as to fill the gaps between blocks in the construction. The purpose of PD CEN/TR 16886 is to exemplify how a statistical tool can be used in practice. PD CEN/TR 16886 should not contradict nor extend the scope of the work and role of a Notified Body, nor impose additional burdens on the manufacturer, beyond those laid down in the Construction Products Regulation and the product standards. Mechanical and other properties of building materials and components are in the report described by random variables with a certain type of probability distribution. A normal distribution (Laplace-Gauss distribution) may be used to approximate many actual symmetrical distributions. When a remarkable asymmetry is observed, then another type of distribution reflecting this asymmetry should be considered, leading to a more complex method to demonstrate compliance with the product standard. More information on the normality test of Shapiro-Wilk is given in Annex D.
