Listed by product makers

3 products in the NirmanDost catalogue name this standard on their spec sheets — RoboSand (Manufactured Sand) 0-4.75 mm, RoboAggregates 20 mm, RoboAggregates 10 mm. That is the maker’s own claim, copied as printed; we have not tested these products against the standard, and a spec sheet can cite the wrong code.
