Bitumen and Bituminous Binders - Specifications for Paving Grade Bitumens
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12591 standard is a comprehensive document that outlines the specifications and test methods for bitumens used in the construction and maintenance of roads, airfields, and other paved areas.
The standard provides a framework for specifying the properties of paving grade bitumens and the corresponding test methods to evaluate these properties. It ensures that the bitumens meet the necessary requirements for their intended use, ensuring the quality and performance of the resulting asphalt mixtures.
In addition to the specifications, the standard also includes requirements for the evaluation of conformity, ensuring that the bitumens supplied by manufacturers comply with the specified criteria. This helps maintain consistency and reliability in the use of bitumens in the construction industry.
