EN 13924-1:2015 (E) 4 European foreword This document (EN 13924-1:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 336 “Bituminous binders”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2016 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2017. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 13924:2006. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This European Standard is part of a family of European Standards for bitumens as follows:
Figure 1 — European Standards for bitumens According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. SIST EN 13924-1:2016
EN 13924-1:2015 (E) 5 Introduction This part of EN 13924 is closely related to EN 12591 [2]. This introduction gives information on the basis for selection of the grades defined in this part of EN 13924, the status of certain properties and test methods, and proposed development of this part of EN 13924. The general principle adopted in the development of EN 12591 [2] was to provide a range of grades suitable for the manufacture of the materials for road construction and maintenance used, and the climatic and traffic conditions encountered, in all the Member States. This part of EN 13924 extends the range of grades specified in EN 12591 [2], following the wider use of materials for road construction and maintenance having very high modulus values. This part of EN 13924 can be read in conjunction with National Guidance Documents, where they exist, which have the opportunity to identify the appropriate grade in the territory of use. This part of EN 13924 has been based on the regional requirements identified when the process started. It is a step in harmonizing the so-called “empirical” specifications and it is intended to evaluate alternative properties and test methods to develop new specifications that are more directly performance-related. To this end, work programmes are being undertaken and the results will be considered for a future revision of this part of EN 13924. The progress of these work programmes are reported in CEN/TR 15352 [1], and the results will be considered for future revisions of this part of EN 13924. For hard paving grade bitumens, the testing of the five essential characteristics, according to the mandate M/124, also gives an indication that its intrinsic cohesive properties are adequate for its normal use. The properties of “adhesion” and “setting ability” are indicated by tests used on the finished asphalt mixtures, EN 12697-1, EN 12697-11, EN 12697-12, EN 12697-26 (respectively [4] to [7]), rather than tests on the bitumen itself. Hard paving grade bitumens are designated by the penetration range at 25 °C, e.g. 5/15, 10/20 or 15/25 (see Table 1). SIST EN 13924-1:2016
EN 13924-1:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope This part of EN 13924 provides a framework for specifying the properties and relevant test methods for hard paving grade bitumens which are suitable for use in the construction and maintenance of roads, airfields and other paved areas. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

EN 13924-1:2015 (E) 7 5 Requirements and test methods 5.1 General This European Standard is a framework of specifications and classes for properties of hard paving grade bitumens which are chosen from Table 1 and Table 2. There is a subdivision of properties into two tables. The properties in Table 1 shall be specified for all hard paving grade bitumens. They are associated with regulatory or Health Safety and Environmental requirements. The properties in Table 2 are required to meet specific regional conditions. They are associated with regulatory or other regional requirements. 5.2 Properties and related test methods 5.2.1 General The properties of, and related test methods, for hard paving grade bitumens shall be selected from the classes given in Table 1 and Table 2. When tested by the methods given in the tables, the various grades shall conform to the limits specified by classes in that table. Each country will then have a particular selection of specifications, which are covered in Tables 1 and Table 2. It is useful for each country to publish in a national guidance document for their requirements for hard paving grade bitumens. The appropriate class for each technical requirement or application is selected in turn and the selection of classes should be made from past experience of successful use, on a regional basis, in order to avoid unworkable combinations, see also Table 1, footnote c, and Table 2, footnote d. 5.2.2 Consistency at intermediate service temperatures Consistency at intermediate service temperature for these hard paving grade bitumens shall comply with the requirements for penetration at 25 °C in Table 1. The grades are designated by the nominal penetration range at 25 °C. 5.2.3 Consistency at elevated service temperatures Consistency at elevated service temperature for these hard paving bitumens shall comply with the requirements for softening point as indicated in Table 1. Hard paving grade bitumens are supplied for a variety of end uses, and thus the specifications include a wide range of softening point values. A restricted softening point range, of ± 5 °C about a mid-point, shall be declared by the supplier; the overall range shall be within the range in the tables. 5.2.4 Brittleness at low service temperature Brittleness at low service temperature may be required to meet specific regional conditions. Where required, hard paving grade bitumens shall conform to the requirements for Fraass breaking point in Table 2. 5.2.5 Temperature dependence of consistency Temperature dependence of consistency may be required to meet specific regional conditions. Where required, hard paving grade bitumens shall conform to the requirement for dynamic viscosity in Table 2. If the supplier wishes to declare the penetration index (for the purpose of regulatory marking), it shall be calculated in accordance with Annex A. SIST EN 13924-1:2016
EN 13924-1:2015 (E) 8 5.2.6 Durability – Resistance to hardening Durability shall be demonstrated by compliance with testing of properties after hardening defined in Table 1 and Table 2. Resistance to hardening shall be tested according to the Rolling Thin Film Oven Test (RTFOT) (EN 12607-1). NOTE Appropriate tests and classes, for measurements on material after the hardening procedure, are given in Tables 1 and 2. The choice depends upon the intended use of the product. 5.2.7 Informative properties The specifications include a table of informative properties (Table B.1). Suppliers of hard paving grade bitumens are encouraged to produce data from these measurements as “Supplier Declared Values”. It is hoped that the data so provided will be of assistance in developing performance-related specifications in the future. 5.2.8 Temperature dependency of mixing Where required, hard paving grade bitumens shall comply also with the requirement for kinematic viscosity in Table 2. 5.2.9 Flash point Flash point shall be determined by the Cleveland open cup method in EN ISO 2592. NOTE The Pensky-Martens closed cup method (see EN ISO 2719 [10]) can be used to investigate possible contamination but is likely to give lower values. 5.2.10
Density If the supplier wishes to declare the density of hard paving grade bitumens, it shall be determined in accordance with EN 15326 5.2.11 Solubility Solubility shall be determined on the hard paving grade bitumens in accordance with EN 12592. SIST EN 13924-1:2016

EN 13924-1:2015 (E) 10 5.3 Release of regulated dangerous substances When required, products covered by this European Standard shall comply with relevant regulations on dangerous substances in force in the intended place of use. In the absence of International or European test methods, manufacturers shall verify and declare the release of dangerous substances in accordance with provisions applicable in the intended place of use of the product. NOTE An informative database covering European and national provisions on dangerous substances is available at the Construction website on Europa accessed through http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/construction/cpd-ds/. 5.4 Precision The test methods referred to in this European Standard include a precision statement where available. In cases of uncertainty, the procedures described in EN ISO 4259 for interpretation of the results based on test method precision shall be used. 6 Assessment and verification of constancy of performance – AVCP 6.1 General The compliance of hard paving grade bitumens with the requirements of this European Standard and with the performances declared by the manufacturer in the Declaration of Performance (DoP) shall be demonstrated by: — Determination of the product type, — Factory Production Control (FPC) by the manufacturer, including product assessment. The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary means to take responsibility for the conformity of the product with its declared performance(s). NOTE The information from AVCP can be available for audit as detailed in the manufacturer’s quality plan. 6.2 Type testing 6.2.1 General All performances related to characteristics included in this European Standard shall be determined when the manufacturer intends to declare the respective performances. Assessment previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this European Standard, may be taken into account provided that they were made to the same or a more rigorous test method, under the same AVCP system on the same product or products of similar design, construction and functionality, such that the results are applicable to the product in question. For the purposes of assessment, the manufacturer's products may be grouped into families, where it is considered that the results for one or more characteristics from any one product within the family are representative for that same characteristics for all products within that same family. Products may be grouped in different families for different characteristics. With reference to the assessment method, standards should be made to allow the selection of a suitable representative sample. SIST EN 13924-1:2016
EN 13924-1:2015 (E) 11 In addition, the determination of the product type shall be performed for all characteristics included in the standard for which the manufacturer declares the performance: — at the beginning of the production of a new or modified hard paving grade bitumens (unless a member of the same product range), or — at the beginning of a new or modified method of production (where this may affect the stated properties); or they shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s), whenever a change occurs in the hard paving grade bitumens design, in the raw material or in the supply of the components, or in the method of production (subject to the definition of a family), which would affect significantly one or more of the characteristics. Where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component manufacturer, on the basis of assessment methods of other product standards, these characteristics need not be re-assessed. The specifications of these components shall be documented. Products bearing regulatory marking in accordance with appropriate harmonized European specifications may be presumed to have the performances declared in the declaration of performance (DoP), although this does not replace the responsibility on the hard paving grade bitumen manufacturer to ensure that the hard paving grade bitumen as a whole is correctly manufactured and its component products have the declared performance values. 6.2.2 Test samples, testing and compliance criteria Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with Clause 4. The results of all type tests shall be recorded, held by the manufacturer at least 10 years from the date of the test or until the type test is no longer valid (whichever is the longer) and be available for inspection. 6.2.3 Test reports The results of the determination of the product type shall be documented in test reports. All test reports shall be retained by the manufacturer for at least 10 years after the last date of production of the hard paving grade bitumen to which they relate. 6.2.4 Shared other party results A manufacturer may use the results of the product type determination obtained by someone else (e.g. by another manufacturer, as a common service to manufacturers, or by a product developer), to justify his own declaration of performance regarding a product that is manufactured according to the same design and with raw materials, constituents and manufacturing methods of the same kind, provided that: — the results are known to be valid for products with the same essential characteristics relevant for the product performance; — in addition to any information essential for confirming that the product has such same performances related to specific essential characteristics, the other party who has carried out the determination of the product type concerned or has had it carried out, has expressly accepted to transmit to the manufacturer the results and the test report to be used for the latter’s product type determination, as well as information regarding production facilities and the production control process that can be taken into account for FPC; — the manufacturer using other party results accepts to remain responsible for the declared performances and he also: SIST EN

Introduction
This part of EN 13924 is closely related to EN 12591 [2]. This introduction gives information on the basis for
selection of the grades defined in this part of EN 13924, the status of certain of the properties and test
methods, and proposed development of this part of EN 13924.
The general principle adopted in the development of EN 12591 [2] was to provide a range of grades suitable
for the manufacture of the materials for road construction and maintenance used, and the climatic and traffic
conditions encountered, in all the Member States. This part of EN 13924 extends the range of grades
specified in EN 12591 [2], following the wider use of materials for road construction and maintenance having
very high modulus values.
This part of EN 13924 can be read in conjunction with National Guidance Documents, where they exist, which
have the opportunity to identify the appropriate grade in the territory of use.
This part of EN 13924 has been based on the regional requirements identified when the process started. It is
a first step in harmonising the so-called "empirical" specifications and it is intended to evaluate alternative
properties and test methods to develop new specifications that are more directly performance-related. To this
end, work programmes are being undertaken and the results will be considered for a future revision of this
part of EN 13924. The progress of those work programmes are reported in CEN/TR 15352 [1], and the results
will be considered for future revisions of this part of EN 13924.
For hard paving grade bitumens the testing of the four essential characteristics, according to the mandate
M/124, also gives an indication that its intrinsic cohesive properties are adequate for normal use. The
properties of "adhesion" and "setting ability" are indicated by tests used on the finished asphalt mixtures,
EN 12697-1, EN 12697-11, EN 12697-12, EN 12697-26 (respectively [4] to [7]), rather than tests on the
bitumen itself.
Hard paving grade bitumens are designated by the penetration range at 25 °C, e.g. 10/20 or 15/25 (see
Table 1).
Table B.1 (Annex B) lists informative properties which suppliers of hard paving grade bitumens are
encouraged to produce as “Supplier Declared Values”. It is hoped that the data so provided will form the basis
for developing performance-related specifications in the future.

5 Requirements and test methods
5.1 General
European product standards cover a large variety of road materials for different applications, to accommodate
local traffic loads and climatic conditions. This European Standard therefore also covers a range of bitumens
to facilitate the production and application of the designed paving.
This European Standard is a framework of specifications and classes for properties of hard paving grade
bitumens which are chosen from Table 1 and Table 2.
There is a subdivision of properties into two tables. The properties in Table 1 shall be specified for all hard
paving grade bitumens. They are associated with regulatory or Health Safety and Environmental
requirements. The properties in Table 2 are required to meet specific regional conditions. They are associated
with regulatory or other regional requirements.
5.2 Properties and related test methods
5.2.1 General
The properties of, and related test methods, for hard paving grade bitumens shall be selected from the
classes given in Table 1 and Table 2. When tested by the methods given in the tables, the various grades
shall conform to the limits specified by classes in that table.
NOTE Each country will then have a particular selection of specifications, which are covered in Tables 1 and 2. It is
useful for each country to publish in a national guidance document for their requirements for hard paving grade bitumens.
The appropriate class for each technical requirement or application is selected in turn and the selection of classes should
be made from past experience of successful use, on a regional basis, in order to avoid unworkable combinations, see also
Table 1, footnote c, and Table 2, footnote d.
5.2.2 Consistency at intermediate service temperatures
Consistency at intermediate service temperature for these hard paving grade bitumens shall comply with the
requirements for penetration at 25 °C in Table 1.
The grades are designated by the nominal penetration range at 25 °C.
5.2.3 Consistency at elevated service temperatures
Consistency at elevated service temperature for these hard paving bitumens shall comply with the
requirements for softening point Ring and Ball as indicated in Table 1.
Hard paving grade bitumens are supplied for a variety of end uses, and thus the specifications include a wide
range of softening point Ring and Ball values. A restricted softening point range, of ± 5 °C about a mid-point,
shall be declared by the supplier; the overall range shall be within the range in the tables.
5.2.4 Brittleness at low service temperature
Brittleness at low service temperature may be required to meet specific regional conditions in countries
susceptible to cold. Where required, hard paving grade bitumens shall conform to the requirements for Fraass
breaking point in Table 2.

prEN 13924-1:2013 (E)
5.2.5 Temperature dependence of consistency
Temperature dependence of consistency may be required to meet specific regional conditions. Where
required, hard paving grade bitumens shall conform to the requirement for dynamic viscosity in Table 2.
If the supplier wishes to declare the penetration index (for the purpose of regulatory marking), it shall be
calculated in accordance with Annex A.
5.2.6 Durability – Resistance to hardening
Durability shall be demonstrated by compliance with the required surrogate characteristics of Table 1.
Resistance to hardening shall be tested according to the Rolling Thin Film Oven Test (RTFOT) (EN 12607-1).
NOTE Appropriate tests and classes, for measurements on material after the hardening procedure, are given in
Tables 1 and 2. The choice depends upon the intended use of the product.
5.2.7 Informative properties
The specifications include a table of informative properties (Table B.1). Suppliers of hard paving grade
bitumens are encouraged to produce data from these measurements as “Supplier Declared Values”. It is
hoped that the data so provided will be of assistance in developing performance-related specifications in the
future.
5.2.8 Other properties
5.2.8.1 Flash point
Flash point shall be determined by the Cleveland open cup method in EN ISO 2592.
NOTE The Pensky-Martens closed cup method (see EN ISO 2719 [10]) can be used to investigate possible
contamination but is likely to give lower values.
5.2.8.2 Density
If the supplier wishes to declare the density of hard paving grade bitumens, it shall be determined in
accordance with EN 15326.
5.2.8.3 Solubility
Solubility shall be determined on the hard paving grade bitumens in accordance with EN 12592.
5.3 Release of dangerous regulated substances
When required, products covered by this European Standard shall comply with relevant regulations on
dangerous substances in force in the intended place of use. In the absence of International or European test
methods, manufacturers shall verify and declare the release of dangerous substances in accordance with
provisions applicable in the intended place of use of the product.
NOTE An informative database covering European and national provisions on dangerous substances is available at the
Construction web site on Europa accessed through http:/ec.europa.eu/enterprise/construction/cpd-ds/.
5.4 Precision
The test methods referred to in this European Standard include a precision statement where available. In
cases of uncertainty, the procedures described in EN ISO 4259 for interpretation of the results based on test
method precision shall be used.

6 Assessment and verification of constancy of performance – AVCP
6.1 General
The compliance of hard paving grade bitumens with the requirements of this European Standard and with the
performances declared by the manufacturer in the Declaration of Performance (DoP) shall be demonstrated by
determination of the product type,
factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment.
The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary means to take
responsibility for the conformity of the product with its declared performance(s).
NOTE The information from AVCP can be available for audit as detailed in the Quality Plan.
6.2 Type testing
6.2.1 General
All performances related to characteristics included in this European Standard shall be determined when the
manufacturer intends to declare the respective performances unless the standard gives provisions for
declaring them without performing tests. (e.g. use of previously existing data, classified without further testing
(CWFT) and conventionally accepted performance).
Assessment previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this European Standard, may be taken
into account provided that they were made to the same or a more rigorous test method, under the same
AVCP system on the same product or products of similar design, construction and functionality, such that the
results are applicable to the product in question.
For the purposes of assessment, the manufacturer's products may be grouped into families, where it is
considered that the results for one or more characteristics from any one product within the family are
representative for that same characteristics for all products within that same family.
Products may be grouped in different families for different characteristics.
Reference to the assessment method standards should be made to allow the selection of a suitable
representative sample.
In addition, the determination of the product type shall be performed for all characteristics included in the
standard for which the manufacturer declares the performance:
at the beginning of the production of a new or modified hard paving grade bitumens (unless a member of
the same product range), or
at the beginning of a new or modified method of production (where this may affect the stated properties);
or they shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s), whenever a change occurs in the hard
paving grade bitumens design, in the raw material or in the supplier of the components, or in the method
of production (subject to the definition of a family), which would affect significantly one or more of the
characteristics.
Where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component
manufacturer, on the basis of assessment methods of other product standards, these characteristics need not
be re-assessed. The specifications of these components shall be documented.

oSIST prEN 13924-1:2013
prEN 13924-1:2013 (E)
Products bearing regulatory marking in accordance with appropriate harmonised European specifications may
be presumed to have the performances declared in the DoP, although this does not replace the responsibility
on the hard paving grade bitumen manufacturer to ensure that the hard paving grade bitumen as a whole is
correctly manufactured and its component products have the declared performance values.
6.2.2 Test samples, testing and compliance criteria
Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with Clause 4.
6.2.3 Test reports
The results of the determination of the product type shall be documented in test reports. All test reports shall
be retained by the manufacturer for at least 10 years after the last date of production of the hard paving grade
bitumen to which they relate.
6.2.4 Shared other party results
A manufacturer may use the results of the product type determination obtained by someone else (e.g. by
another manufacturer, as a common service to manufacturers, or by a product developer), to justify his own
declaration of performance regarding a product that is manufactured according to the same design (e.g.
dimensions) and with raw materials, constituents and manufacturing methods of the same kind, provided that:
the results are known to be valid for products with the same essential characteristics relevant for the
product performance;
