This document (EN 13286-4:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 227 “Road
Materials”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
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 May 2022, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by May 2022.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 13286-4:2003.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
— editorial changes;
— removal of the particle size requirement at 20mm which was considered unnecessary and contrary
to current usage;
— advice on the use of the test method with absorbent aggregates, soils and hydraulically bound
mixtures;
— the inclusion of text relating to the possible types of compaction curves and definition/selection of
the resulting optimum water content;
— removal of the Annex: Compactibility test for graded aggregates, which was deemed unnecessary.
