Overview
EN 13399:2017 is the CEN European standard that specifies a laboratory method for determining the storage stability of modified bitumen (including polymer‑modified bitumen) at high temperatures. The method evaluates the tendency of modified bituminous binders to undergo phase separation during prolonged thermal storage by conditioning a representative sample in a vertical aluminium tube and comparing the properties of the top and bottom fractions after a specified ageing period.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Measurement of storage stability of modified bitumen at high temperature (default test temperature 180 °C ± 5 °C, or producer‑specified temperature ± 5 °C).
- Principle: Keep a homogeneous sample in a vertical vessel for (72 ± 1) h, cool, cut into three equal parts and analyse the top and bottom parts for differences.
- Apparatus highlights:
- Thin unvarnished aluminium tube (closed at one end; height ≥ 160 mm; diameter 25–40 mm - typically “toothpaste tube”).
- Oven capable of maintaining ± 5 °C accuracy at test temperature.
- Forceps/pliers for closing the tube, cutting tool and heating tool for recovery.
- Sample preparation & filling:
- Ensure representative, homogeneous laboratory sample in accordance with EN 58 and prepare test sample per EN 12594.
- Fill tube to a marked level (100–120 mm), remove air, squeeze tube to allow thermal expansion and tightly seal (folded and crimped using forceps).
- Test conditions:
- Place the filled tube vertically in the preheated oven within 1 hour of filling and maintain for 72 hours.
- Cool in vertical position, then recover the sample by cutting or peeling the foil; discard the middle section and combine/analyse top and bottom parts.
- Reporting: Include sample ID, reference to EN 13399, measured values for top and bottom (and difference/ratio), storage temperature if different, deviations, and test date.
- Safety note: The standard warns that hazardous materials and operations may be involved; users must implement appropriate safety and regulatory controls.
Applications and users
EN 13399:2017 is used for:
- Quality control and production monitoring by bitumen and polymer-modified bitumen manufacturers.
- Acceptance testing for paving contractors, road authorities and material procurement.
- R&D labs assessing additive compatibility and formulation stability.
- Certification bodies and laboratories performing compliance testing for product specifications.
Keywords: EN 13399, storage stability of modified bitumen, polymer‑modified bitumen storage test, bitumen testing, CEN standard.

Die EN 13399:2017 ist eine europäische Norm, die ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Lagerstabilität von modifiziertem Bitumen bei hohen Temperaturen beschreibt. Die Norm hat eine entscheidende Bedeutung für die Industrie, da sie den Umgang mit modifiziertem Bitumen, insbesondere polymer-modifiziertem Bitumen, standardisiert. Diese Materialien, die hauptsächlich aus Bitumen und mindestens einem zusätzlichen Agenten bestehen, haben das Potenzial zur Phasentrennung unter bestimmten Bedingungen. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil dieser Norm liegt in der genauen Messung der Lagerstabilität, die für die Qualität und Verwendbarkeit des Bitumens von großer Bedeutung ist. Durch die Standardisierung dieses Verfahrens wird sichergestellt, dass Hersteller und Anwender dieselben Kriterien anwenden, was die Vergleichbarkeit und Nachverfolgbarkeit der Testergebnisse verbessert. Dieser Aspekt der EN 13399:2017 ist besonders relevant, um die Konsistenz der Produkte in der Branche zu gewährleisten und Qualitätsstandards einzuhalten. Darüber hinaus ist die EN 13399:2017 sehr wichtig, um die Sicherheit beim Umgang mit modifiziertem Bitumen zu berücksichtigen. Es wird darauf hingewiesen, dass der Einsatz dieser Norm potenziell gefährliche Materialien und Abläufe involvieren kann. Daher betont die Norm die Verantwortung der Anwender, geeignete Sicherheits- und Gesundheitspraktiken zu etablieren und die Anwendbarkeit regulatorischer Beschränkungen im Vorfeld zu ermitteln. Insgesamt ist die EN 13399:2017 ein unverzichtbares Dokument für die Branche, das nicht nur die technische Durchführung von Tests zur Lagerstabilität von modifiziertem Bitumen regelt, sondern auch den Fokus auf die Sicherheit und Qualitätssicherung legt. Die Relevanz dieser Norm erstreckt sich auf zahlreiche Anwendungen in der Bau- und Straßenbauindustrie, wo die Leistung und Langlebigkeit von bituminösen Bindemitteln entscheidend sind.
The EN 13399:2017 standard provides essential guidelines for the determination of the storage stability of modified bitumen, particularly focusing on the behavior of polymer-modified bitumen at elevated temperatures. This European Standard is significantly relevant for professionals in the construction and materials science industries, as it addresses a critical aspect of bitumen performance-its longevity and stability during storage. One of the major strengths of this standard is its clear specification of the methodologies employed in measuring storage stability, which fosters consistency and reliability in the results obtained from various testing laboratories. The emphasis on high-temperature conditions is particularly pertinent, given that modified bitumen is widely used in infrastructure projects that often expose materials to elevated temperatures. Additionally, the standard conveys the importance of recognizing phase separation in modified bitumen, especially as it relates to the performance and characteristics of the material in practical applications. By providing a standardized approach to assessing these properties, EN 13399:2017 aids engineers in predicting the behavior of bitumen over time, thereby enhancing the quality and safety of asphalt mixtures derived from these materials. Furthermore, the document appropriately includes a warning regarding the potential hazards associated with the use of modified bitumen and the necessary safety precautions that users must implement. This reflects an awareness of the environmental and health implications associated with the handling of bituminous binders, which is commendably responsible and necessary in today's industry standards. In summary, the EN 13399:2017 standard is a vital resource that enhances the understanding and evaluation of storage stability in modified bitumen, addressing both the technical and safety considerations vital for users in the field. Its relevance extends to ensuring the durability and reliability of infrastructure projects, aligning with the ongoing efforts to improve construction material performance standards in Europe and beyond.
