This document applies to un-modified and polymer modified bituminous cut-back and fluxed materials.
NOTE   Depending on traditional practices, different binder types may be used for the same purpose. The framework for specifying cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders in this document provides a basis for quality agreements between producers (suppliers) and purchasers (clients).

Bitumen und bitumenhaltige Bindemittel - Rahmenwerk für die Spezifizierung von verschnittenen und gefluxten bitumenhaltigen Bindemitteln

Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen an die Gebrauchseigenschaften von verschnittenen und gefluxten
bitumenhaltigen Bindemitteln fest, die für die Verwendung beim Bau und der Instandhaltung von Straßen,
Flugplätzen und sonstigen befestigten Flächen geeignet sind.
Dieses Dokument gilt für nicht modifizierte und polymermodifizierte bitumenhaltige Bindemittel sowie für
verschnittene oder gefluxte Materialien.
ANMERKUNG Innerhalb Europas werden verschiedene Arten von verschnittenen und gefluxten bitumenhaltigen Binde-mitteln
verwendet. In Abhängigkeit von traditionellen Verfahrensweisen können für den gleichen Zweck verschiedene Bin-demittelsorten
verwendet werden.
Das in diesem Dokument angegebene Rahmenwerk zur Spezifizierung verschnittener und gefluxter bitumen-haltiger
Bindemittel liefert eine Grundlage für Qualitätsvereinbarungen zwischen Lieferanten und Kunden. Es
sollte sorgfältig darauf geachtet werden, Klassen auszuwählen, die verträglich und realistisch sind.

Bitumes et liants bitumineux - Cadre de spécifications pour les liants bitumineux fluidifiés et fluxés

Le présent document prescrit un cadre de spécifications des liants bitumineux fluxés et fluidifiés utilisables pour la construction et l’entretien des chaussées routières, des pistes d’aéroports et des autres chaussées.
Ce document s’applique aux liants bitumineux fluidifiés ou fluxés non-modifiés et modifiés par des polymères.
NOTE   Selon les pratiques locales, différents types de liants peuvent être utilisés pour une même réalisation. Le cadre de spécifications des liants bitumineux fluxés et fluidifiés définit dans le présent document sert de base à l’établissement d’accords de qualité entre les producteurs (fournisseurs) et les acheteurs (clients).

5 Requirements and test methods
All characteristics of cutback and fluxed bituminous binders shall be classified in accordance with appropriate
parts of Tables 3,4 and 5.
The selection of classes shall be made to avoid unworkable combinations.
NOTE 1 Tables 3, 4 and 5 include a “No Performance Determined“ class (NPD) and a “To Be Reported“ or a “Declared
Value“ class (TBR or DV).
The remaining classes list values or ranges for each requirement.
In specifying a product, the appropriate class for each technical requirement shall be selected in turn.
NOTE 2 Tables 2 to 5 apply to cutback and fluxed bituminous binders being specified in all countries. Each country will
then have a specific menu of specifications, which more than likely, will be different in each country. However, the system
will be transparent since all countries may select requirements from the same tables and each country should publish the
table of their specifications in a national guide for the application of the specification.
NOTE 3 The test method given for dynamic viscosity in Table 2 and the test procedures for stabilisation and ageing of
binders given in Tables 4 and 5 have not been used previously in Europe. Until a sufficient body of data has been
accumulated which will allow values in classes to be confirmed, Class 1, the ‘To Be Reported’ class should be used when
dynamic viscosity is specified in Table 2 and for all requirements specified in Tables 4 and 5.

6.2.1 Initial type testing (ITT)
Initial type tests shall be performed to show conformity with this standard. Tests previously performed in

procedure, system of attestation of conformity, etc…) may be taken into account.
All the characteristics given in the FPC document shall be subject to Initial Type Testing.
6.2.2 Further Type Testing
Whenever a change occurs in the raw materials or the production process which would change significantly
one or more of the characteristics, the type test shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s).
6.2.3 Sampling, testing and compliance criteria
Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with EN 58.
The results of all type tests (Initial and Further Type Tests) shall be recorded, held by the manufacturer at
least five years and be available for inspection.
6.3 Factory production control (FPC)
The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain a Quality Plan or FPC system according to EN
14733.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 12597 shall apply.
4 Abbreviation terms
Abbreviation terms, providing an expression in letters and numbers are used to describe important
characteristics of cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders i.e. viscosity, type of binder and setting ability and
shall be in accordance with Table 1.
Denomination of cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders is set as follows:
- 2 letters, describing the type of flux, i.e. Fm for mineral flux and Fv for vegetal flux;
- 1 digit, corresponding to the viscosity class from Table 3 determined either by efflux time for low and medium
viscosity products or by dynamic viscosity for high viscosity products;
- 1 or 2 letters, describing the type of base binder, i.e. B standing for unmodified binder and BP standing for
polymer modified binder (see Note b in Table 1);
- 2 digits, corresponding to the classes of setting ability from Table 3. Setting ability for Fm type is based on
distillation (EN 13358), as strength development is dependant upon volatilisation of light oils. For Fv type
materials, strength development involves a chemical change and not loss of volatiles, so the measure is
based on softening point of recovered binder according to EN 14895 (sub-clause 7.2.1). Thus the 2 digits are
stated as follows:
st
- Fm types: the 1 digit is the class defined by the percentage of total distillate fraction distilling at 225 °C
nd
(EN 13358) and the 2 digit is 0 (Class 0, i.e. NPD);
st
- Fv types: the 1 digit is 0 (Class 0, i. e. NPD) for the percentage of total distillate fraction distilling at
nd
225 °C and the 2 digit is the class of softening point (EN 1427) of recovered binder (EN 14895, sub-clause
7.2.1).

b Could be prepared using polymer modified bitumen (EN 14023) or by addition of polymer to the cut-back or fluxed bituminous
material.

The following abbreviation terms are used in the specification tables of this European standard (see Tables 3,
4 and 5):
NPD for "No Performance Determined": this class has been included to accommodate countries where the
characteristic, for a given intended use, is not subject to regulatory requirements (see ZA.1).
TBR for "To Be Reported": this class shall mean that the manufacturer is invited, but not required, to provide
information with the product.
NOTE The reported values (TBR) may be used for future development of specifications.
6

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
prEN 15322:2007 (E)
DV for "Declared Value": this class shall mean that the manufacturer is required to provide a value as part of a
regulatory declaration and subsequent regulatory marking.
5 Requirements and test methods
All characteristics of cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders shall be classified in accordance with appropriate
classes from Table 3, Table 4 Part A or Table 4 Part B and Table 5.
In specifying a cut-back or a fluxed bituminous binder, the appropriate class for each technical requirement
shall be selected. Care should be taken to make class selections which are compatible and realistic.
Tables 2 to Table 5 apply to cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders being specified in all countries. Each
country may then have a particular selection of recommended specifications, which more than likely, will be
different in each country. However, the system will be transparent since all countries may select requirements
from the same tables. Each country should publish the table of their selection of appropriate specifications in a
national guide for the intended use.
NOTE The test procedure for stabilisation and ageing of binders given in Table 4 Part A, Table 4 Part B and Table 5
have not been used previously in Europe. With regard to Table 4 Part A and Table 4 Part B, in order to accumulate a
sufficient body of data which will allow values in classes to be confirmed, it is highly recommended to use Class 1 in
addition to the use of the appropriate classes (Class 2 to Class 10). With regard to Table 5, it is highly recommended to
use Class 1; however, in case of existing regulations, Class 2 should be used as part of regulatory declarations.
