CEN/TS 12697-52:2017

CEN/TS 12697-52:2017 is a standard published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Its full title is "Bituminous mixtures - Test methods - Part 52: Conditioning to address oxidative ageing". This standard covers: This European Technical Specification specifies two sets of procedures for conditioning of bituminous mixtures in terms of oxidative ageing. Procedures A.1 and A.2 can be applied on loose bituminous mixture before compaction of specimens, procedures B.1 and B.2 on compacted specimens. Material conditioned by this European Technical Specification can be used for further testing to assess the effect of oxidative ageing on characteristics of bituminous mixtures and thus on their durability and recyclability. Alternatively, binder can be extracted from conditioned mixture to assess the effect of oxidative ageing on binder characteristics taking into account potential effects of mineral aggregates on ageing. This European Technical Specification is applicable to bituminous mixtures manufactured in the laboratory or in a mixing plant. Procedures B.1 and B.2 is applicable to specimens from laboratory production or samples taken from the field.
