European foreword
This document (EN 12847:2022) 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 January 2023, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by January 2023.
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 12847:2009.
The main technical change is the possibility of using drying balance (EN 16849) for determination of
water content in bituminous emulsions under certain conditions (for emulsions containing less than
1,5 % of a volatile flux) and with precautions to be taken (test temperature). The test method used for
the determination of water content (EN 1428 or EN 1431 or EN 16849) is mentioned in the test report.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
