This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2003. Annexes A, B and C are informative. Annex D is normative. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for unbound mixtures used for construction and maintenance of roads, airfields and other trafficked areas. The requirements are defined with appropriate cross-reference to EN 13242. This European Standard applies to unbound mixtures of natural, artificial and recycled aggregates (see annex A) with a upper sieve size (D) from 8 mm to 80 mm and lower sieve size (d) = 0 at the point of delivery. NOTE 1Mixtures with an upper sieve size (D) greater than 80 mm are not covered by this European Standard but may be specified in the place of use. NOTE 2Water content of the mixture and the density of the installed layer are not specified mixture requirements. Both parameters are related to the control of the construction of the layer, and are outside the scope of this European Standard. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).

NOTEOther useful terms and definitions are given in EN 13242. 3.1 unbound mixture granular material, normally of a controlled grading with d = 0, which is generally used in pavement bases and sub- bases NOTEAn unbound mixture does not contain an added binder. 3.2 category level of a property expressed as a range of values or a limiting value NOTEThere is no relationship between the categories of different properties. 3.3 grading particle size distribution expressed as the percentage by mass passing a specified number of sieves 3.4 batch production quantity, delivery quantity, partial delivery quantity (railway wagon-load, lorry-load, ship's cargo) or stockpile produced at one specific time under conditions that are presumed to be uniform NOTEWith a continuous process the quantity produced during an agreed period is treated as a batch. 4 Requirements 4.1 General requirements The need for testing for all properties in this clause shall be limited according to the particular application or end use or origin of the mixture. When required, the tests specified in 4.2 to 4.5 shall be carried out to determine appropriate properties. NOTEWhen a test is not required, it should be specified as a “No requirement”. 4.2 Aggregate requirements When required, the following properties of the aggregates used in the mixture shall be in accordance with EN 13242: shape of coarse aggregate; percentage of crushed or broken particles and of totally rounded particles in coarse aggregates; fines quality; Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Mon Oct 30 12:22:52 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI EN 13285:2003 (E) 5 resistance to fragmentation of coarse aggregate; particle density; water absorption; resistance to wear of coarse aggregate; chemical requirements; durability requirements. 4.3 Mixture requirements 4.3.1 Mixture designation Mixtures shall be selected from Table 1.
