ABSTRACT
Asphalt production control is necessary in order to ascertain that the produced asphalt complies with the mix formulation and to verify a good and stable mix plant operation.
Applying procedures and conducting quality control tests at the mixing plant during production will help ensure that the above is achieved. According to the European standard CEN EN 13108-21 (2008), this stage is called Evaluation of Conformity (EC) of all bituminous mixtures produced under specifications. The EC is composed of the Initial Type Testing (ITT) and the Factory Production Control (FPC).
