This European Standard describes methods of moulding specimens from bituminous mixtures by impact compaction. Such specimens are primarily used to determine bulk density and other technological characteristics e.g. Marshall stability and flow according to EN 12697-34.
This European Standard applies to bituminous mixtures (both those made up in a laboratory and those resulting from work site sampling), with an upper aggregate size not larger than 22,4 mm.
