Clause 1 to Clause 10 of this Published Document give general guidance and background information on BS EN 13108. Annex A gives guidance on the importance of BS EN 13108 mixture specifications.

Annex C contains an example specification which gives the UK choice for specifying hot rolled asphalt in accordance with BS EN 13108‑4. Annex D contains an example specification which gives the UK choice for specifying stone mastic asphalt in accordance with BS EN 13108‑5. This Published Document does not give guidance on BS EN 13108‑6 as this standard is either rarely used in the UK or covered by other guidance. This Published Document is applicable to mixtures for use on roads and other paved areas, including airfields. Detailed provisions for airfields are specified elsewhere.

NOTE 1 For airfield installations on the defence estate, guidance is given in the Defence Infrastructure Organisation Practitioner’s Guide 06/11 [2].

NOTE 2 There are several asphalt mixtures in general use which have not been covered by British Standards but which are now covered in BS EN 13108. These are stone mastic asphalt, covered by BS EN 13108‑5, and asphalt concrete for very thin layers (thin surfacing), covered by BS EN 13108‑2.
