ABSTRACT
A series of European standards-designated EN 13108 and containing requirements for the design, testing, and production of asphalt mixtures-has been implemented in all member states of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It consists of 10 standards:
1. EN 13108-1:2006, Bituminous Mixtures-Material Specications-Part 1: Asphalt Concrete
2. EN 13108-2:2006, Bituminous Mixtures-Material Specications-Part 2: Asphalt Concrete for Very Thin Layers
3. EN 13108-3:2006, Bituminous Mixtures-Material Specications-Part 3: Soft Asphalt
4. EN 13108-4:2006, Bituminous Mixtures-Material Specications-Part 4: Hot Rolled Asphalt
5. EN 13108-5:2006, Bituminous Mixtures-Material Specications-Part 5: Stone Mastic Asphalt
6. EN 13108-6:2006, Bituminous Mixtures-Material Specications-Part 6: Mastic Asphalt
7. EN 13108-7:2006, Bituminous Mixtures-Material Specications-Part 7: Porous Asphalt
8. EN 13108-8:2005, Bituminous Mixtures-Material Specications-Part 8: Reclaimed Asphalt
9. EN 13108-20:2006, Bituminous Mixtures-Material Specications-Part 20: Type Testing
10. EN 13108-21:2006, Bituminous Mixtures-Material Specications-Part 21: Factory Production Control
The standards numbered from 1 to 7 are intended for constructing products harmonized with the Construction Product Directive No. 89/106, which is a classification type of standard. This type of standard does not include ready-to-meet sets of requirements, but only a list of properties with a set of categories-levels of requirements. Basically, they are universal standards to be adopted by any CEN-member state.
