M/387 - Road construction products
AMENDMENT TO: Mandate M/124 to CEN/CENELEC concerning the execution of standardisation work for harmonized standards on Road construction products
Mandate M/387 amends the original Mandate M/124 to CEN/CENELEC regarding the development of harmonized standards for road construction products. It addresses the execution of standardisation work to ensure that standards for these products meet the necessary technical and legal requirements. The amendment aims to support regulatory compliance and facilitate market harmonization for road construction materials within the European Union. The decision to approve or disapprove this amendment was recorded under resolution CEN/BT C036/2006.
Purpose
This mandate (M/387) amends the previous Mandate M/124 regarding the standardisation of road construction products. Its purpose is to update or modify the instructions given to the European standardisation organisations CEN and CENELEC in harmonising standards related to products used in road construction.
Standardisation request
The mandate requests CEN and CENELEC to carry out standardisation work focusing on harmonised standards for road construction products. This involves developing or updating European standards that ensure these products meet consistent safety, quality, performance, and interoperability criteria across the European Union.
Expected deliverables
The deliverables expected from this mandate include:
- Harmonised European standards for road construction products that comply with relevant EU legislation.
- Revision or creation of technical specifications that support market harmonisation and contribute to the removal of technical barriers.
Specific technical details or a list of products covered are not provided within this metadata.
Context
This amendment builds upon Mandate M/124, indicating an ongoing process to refine and improve standards for road construction products. The decision referencing CEN/BT C036/2006 shows formal approval or disapproval related to this amendment. Harmonised standards play a crucial role in facilitating trade within the EU Single Market and ensuring safety and environmental compliance in infrastructure projects. The involvement of CEN and CENELEC demonstrates the interrelation between civil engineering and electrical/electronic aspects in road construction standards.
This mandate covers the standardisation of products used in road construction, focusing on harmonized standards for materials, components, and related products utilized in building and maintaining roads within the European Union.
General Information
This European Standard specifies requirements of Asphalt for Ultra-Thin-Layers (AUTL) for use on roads, airfields and other trafficked areas.
AUTL is a hot mix asphalt road surface course laid on a bonding layer, at a nominal thickness between 10 mm and 20 mm with properties suitable for the intended use. The method of bonding is an essential part of the process and the final product is a combination of the bonding system and the bituminous mixture. The method of bonding of AUTL is out of the scope of this European Standard. Mixtures utilizing bitumen emulsion and bituminous materials based on in situ recycling are not covered by this standard.
This European Standard includes requirements for the selection of the constituent materials. It is designed to be read in conjunction with EN 13108-20 and EN 13108-21.

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/387 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "AMENDMENT TO: Mandate M/124 to CEN/CENELEC concerning the execution of standardisation work for harmonized standards on Road construction products". AMENDMENT TO: Mandate M/124 to CEN/CENELEC concerning the execution of standardisation work for harmonized standards on Road construction products There are 4 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.
