This European Standard provides a framework for specifying the characteristics and relevant test methods for polymer modified bitumens which are suitable for use in the construction and maintenance of roads, airfields and other paved areas.This framework covers the following characteristics:- """"consistency at intermediate service temperature"""";- """"consistency at elevated service temperature"""";- """"cohesion"""";- """"durability"""" of consistency;- """"brittleness at low service temperature"""";- """"strain recovery"""".The cohesion property has been included as a means of discriminating between polymer modified bitumens and other bituminous binders
