Defines guidance on the use of BS EN 13108-1, BS EN 13108-4, BS EN 13108-5, BS EN 13108-8, BS EN 13108-20 and BS EN 13108-21.

This Published Document gives guidance on the use of BS EN 13108-1, BS EN 13108-4, BS EN 13108-5, BS EN 13108-8, BS EN 13108-20 and BS EN 13108-21.

Clause 1 to Clause 10 of this Published Document give general guidance and background information on BS EN 13108.

Annex A gives guidance on the importance of BS 13108 mixture specifications; Annex B provides guidance, based on the requirements formerly specified in BS 4987, for producing asphalt concrete that conforms to BS EN 13108-1; Annex C gives similar guidance, based on the requirements formerly specified in BS 594-1, for producing hot rolled asphalt that conforms to BS EN 13108-4; and Annex D provides guidance for producing stone mastic asphalt that conforms to BS EN 13108-5.

This Published Document does not give guidance on BS EN 13108-2, BS EN 13108-3, BS EN 13108-6 or BS EN 13108-7 as these are either little used in the UK or are covered by other guidance.

This Published Document is applicable to mixtures for use on roads and other paved areas, but excludes airfields, detailed provisions for which are specified elsewhere [see, for example Defence Estates Functional Standards (http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/MicroSite/DE/OurPublications/FunctionalStandards/)].

NOTE 1 Porous asphalt, which was included in BS 4987, is now covered by BS EN 13108-7. Mastic asphalt mixtures previously defined in BS 1447 are now covered by BS EN 13108-6.

NOTE 2 There are several asphalt mixtures in general use which were not historically covered by British Standards but which are now covered in BS EN 13108. These are stone mastic asphalt, covered by BS EN 13108‑5, and asphalt concrete for very thin layers (thin surfacing), covered by BS EN 13108-2.
