3 NA.2.3 Aggregates (subclause 5.1.3)

4 The subject of recycled aggregate is referred to in subclause 5.1.3(2) and 5.2.3.4 and Annex E and their
5 suitability for use in Ireland has yet to be established. Use of such aggregates should be by agreement of the
6 parties involved on a project by project basis

7 NOTE A flakiness index of Fl50 is recommended for flakiness for both natural normal weight and heavyweight
8 aggregates and for air cooled blast furnace slag and for coarse recycled aggregates (Tables E.1 and E.3)

9 NA.2.4 Admixtures (subclause 5.1.5)

10 No additional guidance provided.

11 NA.2.5 Basic requirements for composition of concrete - General (subclause 5.2.1)
