Overview
EN 13880-8:2018 is a CEN European standard that specifies a laboratory test method for assessing fuel resistance of hot applied joint sealants used in road construction and paving. The method determines the change in mass of a sealant specimen after immersion in a standard reference fuel, providing a quantitative measure of how exposure to spilled fuels affects sealant materials.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Determines resistance to fuel spillage by measuring mass change after fuel immersion.
- Test principle: Weigh a prepared specimen, immerse it in a standard fuel mixture, condition at a controlled temperature in a water bath, dry and re-weigh; express the result as percent change in mass relative to the initial mass.
- Standard fuel: A reference mixture of 70 vol-% iso‑octane and 30 vol-% industrial grade toluene (as specified in the standard).
- Specimen preparation: Samples prepared per EN 13880-6 (use of sample tins ~100 ml capacity; typical inside dimensions ≈56 mm diameter × 35 mm depth).
- Apparatus and conditions:
- Laboratory balance up to 400 g with 0.01 g accuracy.
- Controlled environment at (23 ± 2) °C for conditioning.
- Water bath to maintain test assembly at (50 ± 1) °C or (35 ± 1) °C.
- Electric fan for drying (air stream ~120 ± 30 m/min).
- Test duration: immersion for (24 ± 1) h.
- Replicates and result expression: Three specimens per test; report the average percent change in mass. If individual results vary by more than ±0.3% mass, repeat testing.
- Precision: Formal repeatability and reproducibility data are not yet available (to be added by amendment).
- Test report: Must state conformity with EN 13880-8 and include sample identification, batch/date, test date/results, and laboratory/analyst details.
Applications and users
This standard is intended for:
- Sealant manufacturers validating product performance and fuel resistance claims.
- Independent testing laboratories performing conformity and quality control tests.
- Road authorities, specifiers and contractors who need objective data on how joint sealants withstand accidental fuel spillage on pavements and expansion joints.
- Material engineers and product developers comparing formulations or verifying compliance with procurement specifications.
Practical benefits include standardized, repeatable assessment of chemical compatibility with hydrocarbon spills and data useful for material selection, specification writing, and quality assurance.
