M/124_AM1 - Road Construction Products
First amendment to mandate M/124 addressed to CEN concerning the execution of standardisation work for harmonised standards on road construction products
This document is the first amendment to Mandate M/124, addressed to the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), concerning the execution of standardisation work for harmonised standards on road construction products. The amendment relates to the approval or disapproval of the mandate to ensure the development and implementation of harmonised European standards for road construction materials and products, facilitating regulatory alignment and market integration within the EU. The resolution reference for this decision is CEN/BT C31/2013.
Purpose
The mandate M/124_AM1 serves as the first amendment to the original mandate M/124. It is addressed to the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) to further execute standardisation work related to harmonised standards on road construction products. The amendment aims to update or refine the scope or tasks initially put forth regarding these standards.
Standardisation request
The request involves CEN undertaking or continuing the development of harmonised European standards specifically for products used in road construction. These standards are intended to ensure product safety, reliability, and interoperability within the European Union market.
Expected deliverables
- Harmonised standards for road construction products that comply with relevant EU regulations.
- Documentation and technical specifications supporting the harmonisation.
- Updates or revisions to existing standards as necessitated by the amendment.
- Coordination with relevant stakeholders to align the standards with market needs and legal requirements.
Context
This mandate amendment is part of the EU’s broader effort to harmonise technical standards across member states, facilitating free movement of construction products and ensuring infrastructure safety. The related resolution reference CEN/BT C31/2013 indicates formal approval or disapproval action within CEN's governing bodies regarding this amendment. The focus on road construction products reflects the importance of maintaining consistent quality and safety standards in infrastructure development and maintenance.
The mandate covers the execution of standardisation work for harmonised standards on road construction products.
General Information
This European Standard specifies requirements for unbound mixtures used for construction and maintenance of roads, airfields and other trafficked areas.
This European Standard applies to unbound mixtures of natural, manufactured and recycled aggregates with an upper sieve size (D) from 5,6 mm to 90 mm and lower sieve size (d) = 0 at the point of delivery.
NOTE 1 Mixtures with an upper sieve size (D) greater than 90 mm are not covered by this European Standard but may be specified in the place of use.
NOTE 2 Water content of the mixture and the density of the installed layer are not specified mixture requirements. Both parameters are related to the control of the construction of the layer and are outside the scope of this European Standard.
The aggregate requirements are defined with appropriate cross-reference to EN 13242.
Use of aggregates as soil is not covered by this standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/124_AM1 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "First amendment to mandate M/124 addressed to CEN concerning the execution of standardisation work for harmonised standards on road construction products". First amendment to mandate M/124 addressed to CEN concerning the execution of standardisation work for harmonised standards on road construction products There are 2 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
