BS EN 13108-6:2016

Comprehensive Specification for Bituminous Mixtures

BS EN 13108-6:2016 is the essential standard for specifying bituminous mixtures used in a wide range of civil engineering applications. This British Standard, identical to the European EN 13108-6:2016, provides detailed technical requirements and test methods to ensure the quality, performance, and compliance of bituminous mixtures.

Ensuring Compliance with European Standards

As a harmonized European Standard, BS EN 13108-6:2016 aligns with the essential requirements of the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). By adhering to this standard, construction professionals can demonstrate that their bituminous mixtures meet the necessary CE marking requirements for use in civil engineering projects across the European Union.

Comprehensive Technical Specifications

• Defines the characteristics and composition of bituminous mixtures, including binder content, aggregate grading, and void content.
• Specifies the required performance properties, such as resistance to permanent deformation, fatigue, and low-temperature cracking.
• Outlines the necessary test methods and procedures for evaluating the physical, mechanical, and durability properties of bituminous mixtures.
• Provides guidance on the manufacturing, transport, and storage of bituminous mixtures to ensure consistent quality.

Ensuring Quality and Reliability in Civil Engineering

By referencing BS EN 13108-6:2016, construction professionals can specify bituminous mixtures that meet the highest standards of quality and performance. This helps to ensure the long-term durability and reliability of civil engineering projects, from roads and highways to airfields and industrial facilities.

Key Benefits of Using BS EN 13108-6:2016:

• Compliance with European regulations and standards for construction products
• Assurance of consistent quality and performance of bituminous mixtures
• Reduced risk of premature failure or deterioration in civil engineering applications
• Improved sustainability and environmental impact through the use of high-quality, durable materials
• Streamlined procurement and project management by referencing a widely recognized industry standard

Whether you're a civil engineer, contractor, or materials supplier, BS EN 13108-6:2016 is an essential reference for ensuring the quality and compliance of bituminous mixtures used in your projects. By adhering to this comprehensive standard, you can deliver reliable, long-lasting infrastructure that meets the highest industry standards.
