RMC help customers to understand new standards

01 January, 2004

"DECIPHERING the new European Standards for aggregates which came into effect on 1 January 2004 has been simplified thanks to two initiatives by RMC Aggregates. Aggregate specifications in the UK have now been harmonized with those used on the continent and include new terminology, product descriptions and test methods."

"Containing all the necessary information, RMC’s business card-sized CD and pocket-sized ‘ready reckoner’ have been specially designed to provide an easy-to-use and highly portable means of understanding and applying the changes. The CD also contains a PowerPoint presentation that customers can use to get the message about the new specifications over to their own staff and clients."

"‘Our aim is to help people understand and interpret the new standards in as simple a way as possible,’ said RMC communications manager Ian Southcott. ‘From the customer’s point of view the actual materials stay the same, it is only the descriptions that have changed.’"

Copies of both the CD and the ‘ready reckoner’ can be requested by visiting the RMC website or by email;
