According to TL Gestein-StB, building material mixtures not made from natural aggregates must not contain toxic substances in concentrations harmful to health. Building material mixtures must not contain harmful quantities of drivers or thickeners. The color of the building material mixture should be uniform and stable.

Evaluation of the results of preliminary investigations should include in particular the water permeability, compressibility, load bearing capacity and water sensitivity of the subsoil. Particular attention should be paid to necessary or possible underfloor improvements.
