What is BS EN 12697-34 about?  
BS EN 12697- 34 is the 34th part in the multi-series of European standards that discusses bituminous mixtures.
BS EN 12697-34 specifies a test method for determining the stability, flow and the Marshall quotient values of specimens of bituminous mixtures mixed according to EN 12697-35 and prepared using the impact compactor method of test EN 12697-30. It is limited to dense graded asphalt concrete and hot rolled asphalt.
Who is BS EN 12697-34 for? 
BS EN 12697-34 on the marshall test is relevant to: 
- Manufacturers and suppliers of bituminous mixtures and asphalt
- Asphalt refining plants
- Suppliers of construction materials
- Construction and civil engineers
- Contractors
- Road maintenance authorities
Why should you use BS EN 12697-34?  
BS EN 12697-34 describes a technique for measuring the stability, flow, and Marshall quotient values of bituminous mixture specimens. It can assist you in predicting the performance of an asphalt mixture as well as the maximum load it can support.
As a result, if you are a manufacturer or supplier of bituminous mixture, BS EN 12697-34 can help you determine the quality and performance of the materials, so as to maintain structural integrity of the road/pavement construction.
