EN 13043:2013

• Abstract:

  This European Standard specifies the properties of aggregates and filler aggregates obtained by processing natural, manufactured or recycled materials and mixtures of these aggregates for use in bituminous mixtures and surface treatments for roads, airfields and other trafficked areas. This standard does not cover the use of reclaimed bituminous mixtures3. It also covers recycled aggregate with densities between 1,50 Mg/m3 (1 500 kg/m3) and 2,00 Mg/m3 (2 000 kg/m3) with appropriate caveats and recycled fine aggregate with appropriate caveats.; A list of the source materials that have been considered and are within the scope of this standard is given in Annex A (normative).; It also specifies that a quality control system is in place for use in factory production control and it provides for the evaluation of conformity of the products to this European Standard.; The Tables in this standard include categories which are common across the four main aggregate standards: EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 and EN 13242. Only categories shaded grey are to be used for bituminous mixtures, those in white background are not to be used and are for information only.; It incorporates a general requirement that aggregates shall not release any dangerous substances in excess of the maximum permitted levels specified in a relevant European Standard for the material or permitted in the national regulations of the member state of destination (see NOTE 4).; NOTE 1 Aggregates used in construction should comply with all the requirements of the relevant European Standards. These standards include comprehensive and specific requirements for natural aggregates, iron and steel making slag and recycled aggregates, dealing with, for example, the stability of certain basalts, the expansion of certain slags and the constitution of recycled aggregates.; For materials from some other secondary sources, however, work is ongoing and the requirements are incomplete. In the meantime, such materials, when placed on the market as aggregates, should conform fully to this standard but may also be required to conform to specific relevant additional requirements at the place of use. Additional characteristics and requirements may be specified on a case by case basis depending upon experience of use of the product, and defined in specific contractual documents. ; NOTE 2 Requirements for lightweight aggregates are specified in EN 13055.; NOTE 3 Requirements for reclaimed asphalt for use as a constituent of asphalt mixtures are specified in EN 13108-8 and are not therefore covered in detail in this standard. EN 13108-8 does however call up the general requirements of EN 13043 for the aggregate component of reclaimed asphalt.; NOTE 4 Requirements for the declaration of the potential of aggregates to release regulated dangerous substances are currently under development. Until such time as these are finalised, attention should be paid to requirements at the place of use.

NOTE For special end use in surface treatments a sieve size of 2,8 mm can be used in set 2. 4.3 Grading 4.3.1 General The grading of the aggregate, when determined in accordance with EN 933-1, shall conform to the requirements of 4.3.2 to 4.3.5 as appropriate to its aggregate size d/D. Aggregates may comprise single sizes, all-in aggregates or combinations of two or more than two sizes. Aggregates supplied as a mixture of different sizes or types should be uniformly blended. When aggregates of significantly different density are blended, caution is necessary to avoid segregation. When assessing aggregates within a system of factory production control, at least 90 % of gradings, taken on different batches within a maximum period of six months, shall fall within the limits specified in Tables 2 to 4 for tolerances on manufacturer declared typical gradings. Size designations and grading categories are essentially categories of convenience and different sizes and grading categories may be used by agreement between manufacturer and purchaser. SIST EN 13043:2013

the sieve chosen shall be the next nearest from basic set plus set 1 or basic set plus set 2. When a sieve size of the ISO 565 R20 series is closer to the calculated d/2, D/1,4, D/2, 1,4D or 2D size, the manufacturer may choose to use this R20 size. Table 2 — General grading requirements

4.3.2 Coarse aggregates Coarse aggregates shall conform to the general grading requirements specified in Table 2 appropriate to their size designation d/D and grading category GCX/Y. When required, for graded aggregates, defined as those where D/d
≥ 2, all gradings shall conform with the overall limits in Table 3 appropriate to their grading category. The typical grading passing the mid-size sieve shall be declared and the tolerances selected from Table 3 appropriate to the grading category shall be applied. SIST EN 13043:2013

4.3.3 Fine aggregates Fine aggregates shall conform to the general grading requirements of Table 2 appropriate to their upper sieve size D and grading category GF85. When required, the typical grading, in terms of the percentages passing the 4 mm, 2 mm, 1 mm, 0,250 mm and 0,063 mm sieves shall be declared. When required, the grading of the fine aggregates shall comply with the tolerances in Table 4 applied around the declared typical grading. 4.3.4 All-in aggregates All-in aggregates shall conform to the general grading requirements of Table 2 appropriate to their upper sieve size D and grading category GAXY. When required, the typical grading passing the mid size sieve shall be declared and the tolerances selected from Table 4 appropriate to the grading category shall be applied.

If the fines content is greater than 3 % by mass and there is documented evidence of satisfactory use, further testing might not be necessary.

The flakiness index shall be the reference test for the determination of the shape.
For all-in aggregates the flakiness index shall be measured on the fraction 4/D. SIST EN 13043:2013

5 Physical requirements 5.1 General The necessity for testing and declaring all properties specified in this clause shall be limited according to the particular application at end use or origin of the aggregate. When required, the aggregates shall be tested as specified in Clause 5 to determine appropriate physical properties. When the value of a property is required but not defined by specified limits the value should be declared as an XXDeclared category, e.g. a Los Angeles coefficient of say 60 corresponds to LA60.
