This European Standard specifies a test method to determine the resistance of a bituminous mixture or pavement to fuels. The procedure involves initial soaking of a test specimen made in the laboratory or cored from a pavement in a fuel, followed by a brushing period with a steel brush mounted in a mixer. The material loss of the specimen is a measure of the resistance to that fuel for that bituminous mixture.
NOTE The test is normally carried out with jet fuel.
