Aggregates for bituminous mixtures and surface treatments for roads, airfields and other trafficked areas FprEN 13043

Scope

This document specifies the characteristics of aggregates and filler aggregates obtained by processing natural, manufactured or recycled materials and mixtures of these aggregates for use in bituminous mixtures and surface treatments for roads, airfields and other trafficked areas.
It covers aggregates having an oven-dried particle density greater than 2,00 Mg/m3. It also covers recycled and manufactured aggregates with particle densities greater than 1,50 Mg/m3.
NOTE 1 Assessment of the density of recycled aggregates is typically carried out on coarse fractions.
NOTE 2 Lightweight aggregates are specified in EN 13055.
This document does not cover the use of reclaimed bituminous mixtures (see NOTE 3).
Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) of aggregates to this document are given in EN 16236.
Aggregates used in construction are meant to comply with all the relevant European standards for aggregates. These standards include comprehensive and specific provisions for natural aggregates, manufactured aggregates and recycled aggregates, dealing with, for example, the stability of certain basalts and the expansion of certain slags.
NOTE 3 Reclaimed asphalt for use as a constituent of asphalt mixtures is specified in EN 13108-8 and is therefore not covered in this standard. EN 13108-8 does however call up the general provisions of EN 13043 for the aggregate component of reclaimed asphalt.
