Introduction
Regarding skid resistance of road surfaces, the test of the polished stone value, PSV according to
EN 1097-8 has long been a reference [1]. It characterizes a curved specimen of a coarse aggregate, but
cannot alone predict the adhesion of a bituminous mixture once it is in place. A second limit is that it
characterizes one surface state of the coarse aggregate, but does not provide any information about its
speed of evolution under a polishing action.
In the 1960s Pr B. Wehner and K.-H. Schulze developed testing devices, able to polish and characterize
the skid resistance of a flat specimen, of coarse aggregate, sand, or bituminous mixture, and to follow
its evolution as a function of the number of polishing passes [2]. After different developments of the so-
called “Wehner and Schulze apparatus”, this test method, applied to bituminous mixtures, became in
2014 the European Standard EN 12697-49, Bituminous mixtures - Test methods for hot mix asphalt - Part
49: Determination of friction after polishing. It characterizes one surface state of a bituminous mixture
after a fixed number of polishing passes.
The use of this standard in different European countries (see Annex C) in recent years, in contexts of
tenders and/or research, brought to light the need to improve it in both metrological and operating
aspects. It is the subject of thi
