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 will be applied to European Standards for bituminous mixtures if CE-marking under CPR is applied. It may also be part of quality control in situations where CE-marking does not apply. As such, manufacturers factories’ notified to issue CE Marking for production of bituminous mixtures should not require duplicate or additional auditing for those situations where CE-marking does not apply.
