European Standards for Asphalt

摘要

In the UK,the new European Standards for asphalts came into force on I January 2008 and the previous standards, BS 4987 and BS 594, were withdrawn from use in December 2007.This paper gives an overview of the main requirements of the new standards and, in particular, the differences compared with the previous standards.While the asphalt mixtures themselves do not change, the descriptions and the methodology leading up to their manufacture, supply and conformity differ from those previously applicable.
