Abstract (EN): The construction of a building must obey to some standards. In Germany, the standards that are used are DIN standards. Transgranitos, a Portuguese company, located in Vila Pouca de Aguiar, in order to be able to export facades of ¿Branco Micaela¿ granite, had the need to test the granite to meet this standards, namely, DIN EN 13364:2002-02 and DIN 52108 standards. In this paper we present the test results that Transgranitos needed to perform to meet the German requirements and the motives that make them so important in a safe building construction. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.
