Overview
EN 13924-1:2015 (CEN) - Bitumen and bituminous binders: Specification framework for special paving grade bitumen - Part 1: Hard paving grade bitumens - provides a harmonized framework for specifying the properties and test methods for hard paving grade bitumens used in the construction and maintenance of roads, airfields and other paved areas. The standard complements EN 12591 and is intended for national adoption across CEN member states. It defines required and optional properties, sampling and test procedures, and conformity assessment (AVCP) expectations for suppliers and testing laboratories.
Key topics
- Scope and grading: Defines hard paving grades by penetration at 25 °C (e.g., 5/15, 10/20, 15/25) and links grades to appropriate service conditions.
- Mandatory properties and tests (Table 1 style):
- Consistency at intermediate temperatures - needle penetration (EN 1426).
- Consistency at elevated temperatures - softening point (Ring & Ball, EN 1427).
- Resistance to hardening (durability) - RTFOT (EN 12607-1).
- Health, safety and environmental properties - flash point (EN ISO 2592), release of regulated substances.
- Optional/regional properties (Table 2 style):
- Low temperature brittleness - Fraass breaking point (EN 12593).
- Viscosity and temperature dependence - kinematic/dynamic viscosity methods (EN 12595 / EN 12596).
- Density and solubility - EN 15326, EN 12592, EN 12592/EN 12593.
- Sampling & sample preparation: EN 58 (sampling) and EN 12594 (sample prep).
- Assessment & verification (AVCP):
- Type testing, factory production control (FPC), initial inspection and continuous surveillance.
- Requirements for declaration of performance (DoP) and CE marking (see informative Annex ZA).
