STANDARDS
Standards development is a process that involves many individuals, companies, and often governments. They advance the adoption of emerging technologies and guarantee the state of the art guidelines to respect safety requirements. FEPA, as a European Federation, is the place gathering industry to work on the development and review of European and International Standards.
Standardization work is the heart of FEPA. This is why the Federation is known for in the abrasive industry. FEPA experts have been working on the development and review of EN and ISO standards related to abrasives since its foundation in 1955.
FEPA’s ACTIONS
Standardization Information
- European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
- International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
- Key principles of standards development
FEPA Technical Work
The technical work on standardization organizes itself around abrasive product segments: Bonded abrasives, Coated abrasives, Grains, Superabrasives.

The commissions define working programs as well as review and validate progress made by the Working Groups (WGs) on the activities established. The commission meetings are held in the fall and spring each year in Paris, France with experts from FEPA member companies, coming from all over Europe.
FEPA, the European Abrasive Industrial Voice
FEPA technical standardization work is finalized in the form of a formal proposal submitted to ISO or CEN for revision and publication via one of the national standards bodies.
The link between the Federation and the standardization organizations allows for the European industrial voice to be reflected in the standardization work.
FEPA Grains Standard, the Worlwide Reference for Abrasives
For abrasives, particle size is carefully controlled in accordance with FEPA’s own developed European standards, FEPA grain standards.
Grit sizes, measures and appellation differ depending on abrasive products:
- Bonded abrasives: F-grit sizes
- Coated abrasives: P-grit sizes
- Superabrasives: The grit designation is prefixed with a “D” to denote Diamond and a “B” to denote cBN
FEPA Standards defines the mean diameters of macrogrits as a range and not a single value. The particle size distribution of macrogrits is determined by sieving, while the microgrits have been measured by sedimentation (photosedimentometer).
