BS EN 12697-10:2017 is a standard that provides three test methods for determining the compactability of bituminous mixtures. The compactability is determined by analyzing the relationship between the density or void content of the mixture and the energy applied during compaction. The standard allows for the use of three different types of compactors: impact (Marshall) compactor, gyratory compactor, or a vibratory compactor.

This standard applies to both laboratory-prepared bituminous mixtures and mixtures obtained from plant production. The test results obtained from these methods are used to complement the results of mixture design. It helps in assessing the suitability of the bituminous mixture for its intended application.
