BS EN 13282-3:2015 - Hydraulic Road Binders

BS EN 13282-3:2015 is a British Standard that specifies the requirements for hydraulic road binders used in civil engineering applications. This standard is part of the EN 13282 series, which covers different types of hydraulic road binders, including common and rapid hardening hydraulic road binders.

Key Specifications

• Covers hydraulic road binders for use in road construction and maintenance
• Specifies requirements for composition, specification, and conformity criteria
• Includes test methods for determining physical, chemical, and mechanical properties
• Applicable to both common and rapid hardening hydraulic road binders
• Harmonized with other European standards for construction materials

Benefits of Compliance

• Improved Road Performance: Hydraulic road binders meeting the requirements of BS EN 13282-3:2015 help ensure the long-term durability and performance of road construction and maintenance projects.
• Consistent Quality: The standard provides a clear set of specifications and test methods, allowing for consistent quality control and assurance of hydraulic road binders.
• Regulatory Compliance: Conforming to BS EN 13282-3:2015 demonstrates compliance with relevant regulations and standards for civil engineering projects in the UK and Europe.
• Increased Safety: The use of high-quality hydraulic road binders contributes to the overall safety and reliability of road infrastructure, reducing the risk of premature failure or deterioration.

Applications

BS EN 13282-3:2015 is applicable to a wide range of civil engineering projects, including:

• Road construction and maintenance
• Pavement rehabilitation and resurfacing
• Soil stabilization and ground improvement
• Concrete production for infrastructure projects
• Grouting and injection applications

Compliance and Certification

To ensure compliance with BS EN 13282-3:2015, manufacturers and suppliers of hydraulic road binders must undergo rigorous testing and evaluation to demonstrate that their products meet the specified requirements. This may include third-party certification or conformity assessment by a recognized body.

By adhering to the standards set forth in BS EN 13282-3:2015, civil engineering professionals can be confident that the hydraulic road binders they use will deliver reliable performance and contribute to the long-term integrity of their projects.
