Products covered by this service
- Petroleum construction bitumen
- Bituminous mastics and mixtures
- Natural bitumen and asphalt materials
Why conformity assessment matters
Bitumen and mixtures appear in Annex 1, items 19–20 and 36, and in Annex 5. For asterisked road materials we apply the Annex 5 note and check the boundary with the road-safety technical regulation.
Certificate or declaration: the document depends on the specific product and applicable regulation.
Understand the regulationProperties considered in the assessment
- Grade, homogeneity and composition
- Softening point and penetration under the applicable standard
- Adhesion and performance of the finished mixture
These are programme-selection considerations. Required tests depend on the specific product, standard and conformity assessment scheme.
Standards to consider
Examples are shown with their scope. A catalogue listing does not make a standard mandatory for every product in this group. The applicable edition and regulatory link are checked for each request.
Details to clarify
Tell us where the material will be supplied and how it will be used. A construction bitumen standard does not replace requirements for road binders or finished asphalt mixtures.
