The following is a list of significant technical changes since the previous edition:
— The series title no longer makes the method exclusively for hot mix asphalt;
— [General] For clarity, “v/v” and “m/m” is replaced by “by volume” and “by mass”;
— [General] Change of indices in symbols for void content, binder density and binder content;
— [1] clarification that specimens cut from the pavement or from laboratory compacted slabs can be
by either coring or sawing;
— [2] EN 12697-7 added. Also in [4.3];
— [3.3] The term “bituminous material” amended to “bituminous mixture” to be in line with other
parts;
— [3.6] New term and definition of VMA inserted (void including additives in the mineral aggregate).
ad
Following sub-clause renumbered;
— [3.8] New term and definition of VFB inserted (voids filled with binder and additives;
ad
— [4.1] clarification added in for mixtures with water in their composition that the bulk density refers
to its dry bulk density;
— [4.2] Excessive text: “% by volume” deleted in Formula (1);
— [4.2] Key for V : The word “mixture” is replaced with “bituminous specimen” to be in line with
a
definition [3. 2] and [4.1] Principle;
3 3
— [4.2] and [5.2] Change of units from kg/m into Mg/m ;
— [4.3] Formula (2) including related text deleted for consistency with other parts. Following
formulas renumbered accordingly;
— [5.1] Principle for mixtures without additives now described in new sub-clause [5.1.1]. New sub-
clause added for mixtures with additives [5.1.2];
— [5.2] Calculation for mixtures without additives now described in new sub-clause [5.2.1]. New sub-
clause added for calculation of mixtures with additives [5.2.2];
— [5.2.2] Excessive text: “%” deleted in Formula (4);
— [5.4] dimension of specimen to the nearest 0,1 mm (if measured) added to results.
