Bitumen and bituminous binders - Determination of adhesivity of bituminous emulsions by water immersion test
This document specifies a method for determining the adhesion of a bituminous emulsion coated onto aggregate when immersed in water.
The method considers two different aspects of adhesivity, i.e. immediate adhesivity and water effect on binder adhesion.
The method may be used with a reference aggregate. In that case, it measures the intrinsic adhesion behaviour of a bituminous emulsion. The method may also be used with a specific aggregate as used on a job site.

General Information

Overview
EN 13614:2021 - published by CEN - specifies a laboratory water immersion test to assess the adhesivity of bituminous emulsions coated onto aggregate. The standard evaluates two aspects of adhesion: immediate adhesivity (resistance to water just after coating) and the water effect on binder adhesion (after curing and water exposure). The method can be run with a national reference aggregate to measure intrinsic emulsion behaviour or with a site-specific aggregate to evaluate real job-site performance.
Key topics and requirements
- Test principle: mix emulsion with aggregate, wash or condition as required, immerse coated aggregate under water and visually assess the percentage of surface coated by binder.
- Two assessments:
- Immediate adhesivity - wash immediately after coating and grade coverage.
- Water effect on binder adhesion - cure coated aggregate, condition at elevated temperature, then immerse and grade.
- Grading scheme (qualitative): 100, 90, 75, 50, <50, and <10 (percent ranges of coated surface). Simple adsorption without true coating is excluded.
- Apparatus & materials: ventilated ovens ((60 ± 3) °C and (110 ± 5) °C), heat‑resistant glass dishes, balance, distilled or deionised water (EN ISO 3696 grade 3), spatula and lighting for visual assessment.
- Sample sizes and preparation: guidance provided for aggregate fractions (6.3/10 mm or 8/11 mm), sample masses, and emulsion dosing (residual binder calculation based on water content determined by EN 1428/EN 16849/EN 1431).
- Reporting: include emulsion identity and temperature, aggregate reference or source, test type (immediate or water effect), results, and any deviations.
- Precision: method is qualitative; repeatability is generally consistent for a given emulsion but formal precision is not defined.
- Safety note: the standard warns about hazardous materials and requires users to follow appropriate safety and regulatory measures.
Practical applications
- Quality control and acceptance testing of bituminous emulsions for surface treatments, tack coats and cold-applied binders.
- Comparative testing of emulsion formulations using a reference aggregate to assess intrinsic adhesivity.
- Job-site compatibility checks of emulsion–aggregate combinations before pavement or surface treatment works.
- Supporting compliance with specifications such as EN 13808 (adhesivity requirements for cationic bituminous emulsions).
Who should use this standard
- Materials and pavement testing laboratories
- Bitumen and emulsion manufacturers
- Road construction contractors and quality assurance engineers
- Specification writers and technical procurement teams

European foreword
This document (EN 13614:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 336 “Bituminous
binders”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2021, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by September 2021.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 13614:2011.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
— curing and conditioning the coated aggregates within a heat resistant glass dish in the form of a
monolayer of materials instead of placing them into a beaker (8.2.4 and 8.3.5);
— making the assessment under water, which can be replaced if dirty, with the help of an appropriate
desk lamp (8.2.5 and 8.3.7);
— no requirements for a specific thermometer (6.9) since room temperature can be checked with
ordinary means. After drying, aggregates are to be left to cool down to room temperature before
starting the test procedure (8.1 and 8.3.1);
— acceptable tolerance on conditioning time (8.3.6) is reduced from ± 4 h to ± 2 h;
— guidance for the marking of covered surface area (Annex A) is improved by complementing the
sketches with actual pictures.

The standard EN 13614:2021 provides a comprehensive framework for assessing the adhesivity of bituminous emulsions through the water immersion test. Its scope is well-defined, specifying that the document outlines a method for determining the adhesion of bituminous emulsions when coated on aggregates immersed in water. This direct focus on both immediate adhesivity and the water effect on binder adhesion ensures a thorough evaluation process critical for construction and civil engineering applications. One of the strengths of this standard is its dual approach to measuring adhesivity. By addressing immediate adhesion, users can understand how bituminous emulsions perform right after application, while the evaluation of water impact allows for insights into long-term durability and performance under real-world conditions. This is particularly relevant in environments where moisture exposure is unavoidable, making it a key resource for professionals seeking to ensure the reliability and longevity of bituminous applications. Furthermore, the standard’s flexibility in allowing the use of both a reference aggregate and specific aggregates used on job sites enhances its practical relevance. This adaptability means that users can tailor the test to reflect actual conditions and materials encountered in their projects, allowing for more accurate assessments of performance. The publication includes important safety considerations, warning users about the potential hazards associated with materials and operations under review. Although it does not exhaustively outline all safety concerns, it stresses the need for individuals to implement correct safety practices, which is crucial in professional settings where the handling of hazardous materials is involved. Overall, EN 13614:2021 is a vital standard for the assessment of bituminous emulsions, providing essential methodologies that uphold construction quality and safety standards. Its focus on both immediate and long-term performance, coupled with practical applicability in various project contexts, ensures its relevance in the ongoing development and use of bituminous binders in the industry.
