Aggregates for bituminous mixtures and surface treatments for roads, airfields and other trafficked areas

This European Standard specifies the properties of aggregates and filler aggregates obtained by processing natural, manufactured or recycled materials and mixtures of these aggregates for use in bituminous mixtures and surface treatments for roads, airfields and other trafficked areas. This standard does not cover the use of reclaimed bituminous mixtures. It also covers recycled aggregate with particle densities greater than 1,50 Mg/m3 (1 500 kg/m3) with appropriate caveats and recycled fine aggregate with appropriate caveats. A list of the source materials that have been considered and indicating those which are within the scope of this standard is given in Annex A (normative). Requirements for the evaluation of conformity of the products to this European Standard are given in EN 16236.
It incorporates a general requirement that aggregates shall not release any dangerous substances in excess of the maximum permitted levels specified in a relevant European Standard for the material or permitted in the national regulations of the member state of destination. The tables in this standard include categories which are common across the four main aggregate standards: EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 and EN 13242. Not all of these categories are appropriate for aggregates for use for bituminous mixtures. Categories, notes, comments etc., which are grey shaded, should not be used for aggregates for bituminous mixtures. Aggregates used in construction should comply with all the requirements of the relevant European Standards.
These standards include comprehensive and specific requirements for natural aggregates, iron and steel making slag and recycled aggregates, dealing with, for example, the stability of certain basalts, the expansion of certain slags and the constitution of recycled aggregates. For materials from some other secondary sources, however, work is ongoing and the requirements are incomplete. In the meantime, such materials, when placed on the market as aggregates, should conform fully to this standard but may also be required to conform to specific relevant additional requirements at the place of use. Additional characteristics and requirements may be specified on a case by case basis depending upon experience of use of the product, and defined in specific contractual documents. NOTE 1 Requirements for lightweight aggregates are specified in prEN 13055. Requirements for the declaration of the potential of aggregates to release regulated dangerous substances are currently under development. Until such time as these are finalised, attention should be paid to requirements at the place of use. NOTE 2 Requirements for reclaimed asphalt for use as a constituent of asphalt mixtures are specified in EN 13108-8 and are not therefore covered in detail in this standard. EN 13108-8 does however call up the general requirements of EN 13043 for the aggregate component of reclaimed asphalt.

Gesteinskörnungen für Asphalt und Oberflächenbehandlung für Straßen, Flugplätze und andere Verkehrsflächen

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Eigenschaften von Gesteinskörnungen und Füller fest, die durch Aufbereitung natürlicher, industriell hergestellter oder rezyklierter Materialien sowie Mischungen solcher Materialien für die Verwendung in Asphalten und Oberflächenbehandlungen für Straßen, Flugplätzen und andere Verkehrsflächen gewonnen werden. Diese Norm gilt nicht für die Verwendung von Ausbauasphalt. Die Norm deckt ebenfalls rezyklierte Gesteinskörnungen mit einer Dichte zwischen 1,50 Mg/m3 (1 500 kg/m3) und 2,00 Mg/m3 (2 000 kg/m3) sowie rezyklierte feinkörnige Gesteinskörnungen ab, jeweils mit den entsprechenden Einschränkungen. Anhang A (normativ) enthält ein Verzeichnis der berücksichtigten Ausgangsmaterialien, die im Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm liegen. Sie enthält ebenfalls die Festlegung, dass ein Qualitätskontrollsystem für die werkseigene Produktionskontrolle einzuführen ist sowie Festlegungen für die Bewertung der Konformität von Produkten nach dieser Europäischen Norm. Die Tabellen in dieser Norm enthalten Kategorien, die in allen vier Hauptnormen für Gesteinskörnungen festgelegt sind: EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 und EN 13242. Nur die grau hervorgehobenen Kategorien sind für Beton zu verwenden. Die Kategorien mit weißem Hintergrund dürfen nicht in Beton verwendet werden und sind nur zur Information angegeben. Die Norm enthält die allgemeine Anforderung, dass die Freisetzung gefährlicher Stoffe die in der für das Material einschlägigen Europäischen Norm maximal zulässigen Grenzwerte bzw. die nach den nationalen Bestimmungen des Bestimmungsmitgliedstaats zulässigen Grenzwerte nicht übersteigen darf (siehe ANMERKUNG 4). ANMERKUNG 1 Gesteinskörnungen im Bauwesen sollten mit allen Anforderungen der einschlägigen Europäischen Normen übereinstimmen.

Granulats pour mélanges hydrocarbonés et pour enduits superficiels utilisés dans la construction des chaussées, aérodromes et d'autres zones de circulation

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les caractéristiques des granulats et des fillers élaborés à partir de
matériaux naturels, artificiels ou de recyclage et des mélanges de ces granulats afin d'être incorporés dans
les mélanges bitumineux et les enduits superficiels utilisés dans la construction des chaussées, aérodromes
et autres zones de circulation.
La présente norme ne traite pas de l'utilisation de mélanges bitumineux recyclés.
Elle traite également des granulats recyclés ayant une masse volumique supérieure à 1,50 Mg/m3
(1 500 kg/m3), avec les mises en garde appropriées, et du sable recyclé, avec les mises en garde
appropriées.
Une liste des origines des matériaux qui ont été pris en considération et relèvent du domaine d'application de
la présente norme est donnée à l'Annexe A (normative).
Les exigences relatives à l’évaluation de la conformité sont spécifiées dans l’EN 16236.
La présente norme intègre une exigence générale stipulant que les granulats ne doivent dégager aucune
substance dangereuse dont les valeurs d'émission dépassent les niveaux maximaux admissibles spécifiés
dans une Norme européenne pertinente pour le matériau ou dans la réglementation nationale de l'Etat
membre de destination.
Les tableaux de la présente norme contiennent des catégories qui sont communes aux quatre principales
normes relatives aux granulats : EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 et EN 13242. Ces catégories ne sont pas
toutes appropriées pour un usage des granulats dans les mélanges hydrocarbonés.
Les catégories, notes, commentaires, etc. qui sont grisés ne devraient pas être utilisées pour les applications
dans les mélanges hydrocarbonés.
Les granulats utilisés dans la construction doivent respecter toutes les exigences des Normes européennes
concernées. Ces dernières contiennent les exigences générales et particulières relatives aux granulats
naturels, au laitier de haut fourneau et d'aciérie et aux granulats recyclés, et traitent par exemple de la
stabilité de certains basaltes, de l'expansion de certains laitiers et de la composition des granulats recyclés.
Cependant, pour les matériaux provenant d’autres sources secondaires, les travaux sont en cours et les
exigences sont incomplètes. En attendant, il convient que ces matériaux, lorsqu'ils sont mis sur le marché en
tant que granulats, respectent pleinement la présente norme, mais ils peuvent aussi devoir se conformer à
des exigences complémentaires spécifiques pertinentes sur le lieu d'utilisation. Des caractéristiques et des
exigences complémentaires peuvent être spécifiées au cas par cas, en fonction de l'expérience acquise à
l'usage du produit, et définies dans des documents contractuels spécifiques.
NOTE 1 Les caractéristiques des granulats légers sont spécifiées dans le prEN 13055.
Les exigences relatives à la déclaration du potentiel des granulats à relarguer des substances dangereuses
réglementées sont actuellement en cours d'élaboration. Tant qu'elles ne sont pas finalisées, il convient de
tenir compte des exigences en vigueur sur le lieu d'utilisation.
NOTE 2 Les exigences sur les agrégats d’enrobés utilisés en tant que constituants des mélanges hydrocarbonés sont
spécifiées dans l’EN 13108-8 et ne sont pas, par conséquent, couverts en détail par cette norme. L’EN 13108-8 fait,
cependant, appel aux exigences générales de l’EN 13043 pour les granulats contenus dans les agrégats d’enrobés.

Agregati za bitumenske zmesi in površinske prevleke za ceste, letališča in druge prometne površine

Ta evropski standard določa lastnosti agregatov in kamene moke, pridobljenih z obdelavo naravnih, umetnih ali recikliranih materialov in zmesi teh agregatov, za uporabo v bitumenskih zmeseh in površinskih prevlekah za ceste, letališča in druge prometne površine. Ta standard ne zajema uporabe ponovno uporabljenih bitumenskih zmesi. Prav tako zajema reciklirane agregate s prostorninsko maso zrn, večjo od 1,50 mg/m3 (1500 kg/m3), v skladu z ustreznimi pogoji in reciklirane fine agregate v skladu z ustreznimi pogoji. Seznam obravnavanih izvornih materialov, ki določa materiale, vključene v predmet tega standarda, je naveden v dodatku A (normativni). Zahteve za vrednotenje skladnosti izdelkov s tem evropskim standardom so navedene v standardu EN 16236.
Vključuje splošno zahtevo o tem, da agregati ne smejo oddajati nobenih nevarnih snovi v količinah, ki so večje od največjih dovoljenih količin v ustreznem evropskem standardu za materiale ali v nacionalni zakonodaji države članice. Razpredelnice v tem standardu vključujejo kategorije, ki so skupne vsem štirim glavnim standardom za agregate: EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 in EN 13242. Nekatere od teh kategorij niso primerne za agregate za uporabo v bitumenskih zmeseh. Kategorije, opombe, komentarji itd. v sivi barvi se ne smejo uporabljati za agregate za uporabo v bitumenskih zmeseh. Agregati, ki se uporabljajo pri konstrukcijah, morajo izpolnjevati zahteve ustreznih evropskih standardov.
Ti standardi vključujejo celovite in posebne zahteve za naravne agregate, žlindro, nastalo pri pridobivanju železa in jekla, in reciklirane agregate ter obravnavajo na primer stabilnost nekaterih bazaltov, raztezek nekaterih vrst žlindre in sestavo recikliranih agregatov. Za materiale iz nekaterih drugih sekundarnih virov oblikovanje standardov še poteka in so zahteve nepopolne. Kadar so taki materiali dani na tržišče kot agregati, morajo v celoti ustrezati temu standardu in morajo biti morda skladni tudi s posebnimi ustreznimi dodatnimi zahtevami, ki veljajo na območju uporabe. Dodatne značilnosti in zahteve se lahko določijo za vsak posamezen primer glede na izkušnje pri uporabi izdelka in so opredeljene v posebnih pogodbenih dokumentih. OPOMBA 1: Zahteve za lahke agregate so določene v standardu prEN 13055. Zahteve za izjavo o kapaciteti agregatov za izpust reguliranih nevarnih snovi so v pripravi. Dokler te zahteve niso dokončno oblikovane, je treba upoštevati zahteve na območju uporabe. OPOMBA 2: Zahteve za ponovno uporabljeni asfalt za uporabo v asfaltnih zmeseh so določene v standardu EN 13108-8 in jih ta standard podrobno ne obravnava. Vendar pa se EN 13108-8 sklicuje na splošne zahteve iz standarda EN 13043 glede komponent agregatov za ponovno uporabljeni asfalt.

EN 13043:2013 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the properties of aggregates and filler aggregates obtained by processing natural, manufactured or recycled materials and mixtures of these aggregates for use in bituminous mixtures and surface treatments for roads, airfields and other trafficked areas. This standard does not cover the use of reclaimed bituminous mixtures3. It also covers recycled aggregate with densities between 1,50 Mg/m3 (1 500 kg/m3) and 2,00 Mg/m3 (2 000 kg/m3) with appropriate caveats and recycled fine aggregate with appropriate caveats. A list of the source materials that have been considered and indicating those which are within the scope of this standard is given in Annex A (normative). Requirements for the evaluation of conformity of the products to this European Standard are given in EN 16236. It incorporates a general requirement that aggregates shall not release any dangerous substances in excess of the maximum permitted levels specified in a relevant European Standard for the material or permitted in the national regulations of the member state of destination. The tables in this standard include categories which are common across the four main aggregate standards: EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 and EN 13242. Not all of these categories are appropriate for aggregates for use for bituminous mixtures. Categories, notes, comments etc., which are grey shaded, should not be used for aggregates for bituminous mixtures. Aggregates used in construction should comply with all the requirements of the relevant European Standards. These standards include comprehensive and specific requirements for natural aggregates, iron and steel making slag and recycled aggregates, dealing with, for example, the stability of certain basalts, the expansion of certain slags and the constitution of recycled aggregates. For materials from some other secondary sources, however, work is ongoing and the requirements are incomplete. In the meantime, such materials, when placed on the market as aggregates, should conform fully to this standard but may also be required to conform to specific relevant additional requirements at the place of use. Additional characteristics and requirements may be specified on a case by case basis depending upon experience of use of the product, and defined in specific contractual documents.
NOTE 1 Requirements for lightweight aggregates are specified in EN 13055. Requirements for the declaration of the potential of aggregates to release regulated dangerous substances are currently under development. Until such time as these are finalised, attention should be paid to requirements at the place of use. NOTE 2 Requirements for reclaimed asphalt for use as a constituent of asphalt mixtures are specified in EN 13108-8 and are not therefore covered in detail in this standard. EN 13108-8 does however call up the general requirements of EN 13043 for the aggregate component of reclaimed asphalt. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

FprEN 13043:2011 (E) 4 Foreword This European Standard (FprEN 13043:2011) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 154 “Aggregates”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard is currently submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure. This European Standard will supersede EN 13043:2002. This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of Council Directive 89/106/EEC. For relationship with Council Directive 89/106/EEC, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. Annex A is normative. Requirements for other end uses of aggregates are specified in the following European Standards:  EN 12620, Aggregates for concrete;  EN 13055 (all parts), Lightweight aggregates;  EN 13139, Aggregates for mortar;  EN 13242, Aggregates for unbound and hydraulically bound materials for use in civil engineering work and road construction;  EN 13383-1, Armourstone — Part 1: Specification;  EN 13450, Aggregates for railway ballast. Considering evaluation of conformity, see FprEN 16236, Evaluation of conformity of aggregates. kSIST FprEN 13043:2011



FprEN 13043:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the properties of aggregates and filler aggregates obtained by processing natural, manufactured or recycled materials and mixtures of these aggregates for use in bituminous mixtures and surface treatments for roads, airfields and other trafficked areas. This standard does not cover the use of reclaimed bituminous mixtures3. It also covers recycled aggregate with densities between 1,50 Mg/m3 (1 500 kg/m3) and 2,00 Mg/m3 (2 000 kg/m3) with appropriate caveats and recycled fine aggregate with appropriate caveats. A list of the source materials that have been considered and are within the scope of this standard is given in Annex A (normative). It also specifies that a quality control system is in place for use in factory production control and it provides for the evaluation of conformity of the products to this European Standard. The Tables in this standard include categories which are common across the four main aggregate standards: EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 and EN 13242. Only categories shaded grey are to be used for concrete, those in white background are not to be used and are for information only. It incorporates a general requirement that aggregates shall not release any dangerous substances in excess of the maximum permitted levels specified in a relevant European Standard for the material or permitted in the national regulations of the member state of destination (see NOTE 4). NOTE 1 Aggregates used in construction should comply with all the requirements of the relevant European Standards. These standard include comprehensive and specific requirements for natural aggregates, iron and steel making slag and recycled aggregates, dealing with, for example, the stability of certain basalts, the expansion of certain slags and the constitution of recycled aggregates. For materials from some other secondary sources, however, work is ongoing and the requirements are incomplete. In the meantime such materials, when placed on the market as aggregates, should conform fully to this standard but may also be required to conform to specific relevant additional requirements at the place of use. Additional characteristics and requirements may be specified on a case by case basis depending upon experience of use of the product, and defined in specific contractual documents.
NOTE 2 Requirements for lightweight aggregates are specified in EN 13055. NOTE 3 Requirements for reclaimed asphalt for use as a constituent of asphalt mixtures are specified in EN 13108-8 and are not therefore covered in detail in this standard. EN 13108 does however call up the general requirements of EN 13043 for the aggregate component of reclaimed asphalt. NOTE 4 Requirements for the declaration of the potential of aggregates to release regulated dangerous substances are currently under development. Until such time as these are finalised, attention should be paid to requirements at the place of use. NOTE 5 The Tables in this standard include categories which are common across the four main aggregate standards: FprEN 12620, FprEN 13043, FprEN 13139 and FprEN 13242. Not all of these categories are appropriate for aggregates for bituminous mixtures. Those categories, which are appropriate for bituminous mixtures are shown grey shaded. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

FprEN 13043:2011 (E) 9 NOTE 1 When the value of a property is required but not defined by specified limits the value should be declared as an XXDeclared category, e.g., a value of, say, 55 for the flakiness index corresponds to FI55 (Declared value). NOTE 2 When a property is not required, a “No requirement” category can be used. NOTE 3 Guidance on selection of appropriate categories for specific applications can be found in national provisions in the place of use of the aggregate. NOTE 4 Where conformity with a category is based on a value of a property being less than or equal to a given value, conformity with a more severe category (lower value) automatically confers conformity with all less severe categories (higher values). Similarly for categories based on the value of a property being greater than or equal to a given value, conformity with a more severe (higher value) automatically confers conformity with all less severe categories (lower values). 4.2 Aggregate sizes All aggregates shall be described in terms of aggregate sizes using the designations d/D except for aggregates added as fillers which shall be specified as filler aggregate and shall conform to the grading requirements specified in 4.3. Aggregate sizes shall be specified using a pair of sieve sizes selected from the basic set or the basic set plus set 1 or the basic set plus set 2 in Table 1. A combination of sizes from set 1 and set 2 is not permissible. Aggregate sizes shall have D/d not less than 1,4.
