Softening point (EN 1427) after recovery (prEN 13074-1:2008, subclause 7.3) is used for Fv (vegetable oil fluxed bitumen) grade binders. For residual binder after stabilisation (prEN 13074-1 followed by prEN 13074-2) of cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders, for each characteristic, the following test methods have been selected. Consistency at intermediate service temperature The test to be used is the penetration test (EN 1426). The temperature to be used for the test is dependent of the consistency of the stabilised binder. The penetration test shall be performed at 25 °C when stabilised binder has a penetration smaller than or equal to 330 x 0,1 mm, if greater test is performed at 15 °C. Consistency at elevated service temperature The test method to be used is dependent on the consistency of the stabilised binder. If penetration at 25 °C is smaller than or equal to 330 x 0,1 mm, the consistency is carried out by EN 1427. If penetration at 25 °C is greater than 330 x 0,1 mm, the consistency is assessed either by dynamic (EN 12596) or kinematic (EN 12595) viscosity, depending on the consistency of the stabilised binder. Cohesion (for modified binders only) The test method to be used is dependent on intended use of the product. The cohesion of stabilised binder from polymer modified cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders which are used for surface dressings, shall be determined by EN 13588. For binders used in asphalt mixes the test methods given in either EN 13587 or EN 13589 may be used. For binders used in other applications any one of the three methods listed above, EN 13587, EN 13589 or EN 13588, may be used. For residual binder after stabilisation (prEN 13074-1 followed by prEN 13074-2) and ageing procedure (EN 14769) of cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders, for each characteristic, the following test methods have been selected. Durability of the consistency at intermediate service temperature The test to be used is the penetration test (EN 1426).The temperature to be used for the test is dependent of the consistency of the long-term aged binder. The penetration test shall be performed at 25 °C when aged binder has a penetration smaller than or equal to 330 x 0,1 mm, if greater test is performed at 15 °C. Durability of the consistency at elevated service temperature The test method to be used is dependent on the consistency of the long-term aged binder. If penetration at 25 °C is smaller than or equal to 330 x 0,1 mm, the consistency is carried out by EN 1427. If penetration at SIST EN 15322:2009
