This European Standard specifies both quality and Factory Production Control requirements for use during the manufacture of bituminous mixtures intended for use on roads, airfields and other trafficked areas.
Additional testing carried out within contracts is beyond the scope of this European Standard.
The Factory Production Control is to be applied to European Standards for bituminous mixtures if regulatory marking of conformity is to be applied. It is also a necessary part of evaluation of conformity in situations where regulatory marking does not apply.
This European Standard is applicable to the control of bituminous mixtures where the constituents and target composition are known, and have been shown by means of Type Testing to comply with all appropriate specified compositional, performance related or performance based requirements in EN 13108-1 to -7.
