DIN EN 12697-38 PDF Download

The DIN EN 12697-38 standard outlines the general requirements for test equipment, calibration procedures, and reagents to be used in testing bituminous materials. This standard should be used in conjunction with the EN 12697 series of standards.

The document references the requirements for common equipment and calibration for aggregates. This means that the same requirements and calibration procedures used for testing aggregates can also be applied to the testing of bituminous materials. However, it is important for accreditation bodies to consider any national health and safety, regulatory, and legislative requirements that may necessitate alternative requirements or calibration frequencies.

Additionally, the standard provides advice on laboratory management in Annex A, such as recommendations for the organization and operation of the laboratory. Annex B addresses the accuracy of measurement, providing guidelines on how to ensure accurate and reliable test results. Annex C provides information on rounding values for reported results, offering guidance on how to present test data in an appropriate and consistent manner.
