1 Scope
This Technical Specification is a product specification standard. It applies to bulk spreadable products for
absorbing hydrocarbons, mineral oils and similar liquids from road surfaces or traffic areas. Each country may
add usage regulations.

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

4 Safety principles
4.1 Safety data sheets
A safety data sheet, in accordance with ISO 11014-1 (see European Directive 2001/58/EC of 27 July 2001 or
ISO 11014-1), shall be available.
The national authorities of the country where the absorbent shall be used, may demand proof that the
declarations in the SDS are correct.
4.2 Human health and environmental properties
According to this Technical Specification no absorbents shall be used on roads, which are classified as
“dangerous” with respect to European Directive 67/548, Article 2 (2).
Products shall fulfill the European regulations for disposal in landfill according to European Decision 2003/33,
attachment, chapter 2.2.2, at L/S 10 l/kg (except sulphate).
5 Functional specifications for solid absorbents intended for road usage
5.1 General
The specifications for absorbents that follow specify the requirements for road usage. These specifications are
designed to ensure the safety of road users and to limit the dissemination of pollutants into the environment.
5.2 Absorbency
The absorbency shall be assessed, using the test protocol described in Annex A.
The minimum absorbency of hydrocarbons (gas oil) shall be 50 % wt.
The absorbency of water shall be measured in accordance with Annex A.
5.3 Skid resistance
For information, the variation in the skid resistance of the surface should be assessed using the test protocol
described in Annex D.
a) Part 1: Skid resistance of wet absorbent
The required minimum values is:
SRT Final Coefficient ≥ 80 % SRT initial Coefficient.

b) Part 2: Skid resistance of the road surface after removal of contaminated absorbent
The required minimum values is:
SRT Final Coefficient ≥ 85 % SRT initial Coefficient.
The skid resistance shall be measured using the apparatus described in EN 14231.
A material conforms to this Technical Specification if part 1 and part 2 exceed the minimum values.
5.4 Identification of the absorbent
A technical data sheet is issued with the absorbent. This data sheet lists the composition of the product stating
the standardized test methods used (referred to in Annex C) and the physical properties of the product. The
objective is to know the ID card of the product.
6 Sampling for tests
6.1 General
The specifications for absorbents that follow specify the requirements for samples to be tested in an external
testing laboratory.
6.2 Sample definition
If the product is already on the market, the sample is an original unopened, packed, conditioned absorbent.
This sample shall be marked to have a traceability of the product (name, sample number, etc.).
Otherwise, the claimant has to give a guarantee that the sample sent corresponds in all properties to the
product quality to be sold later on (minimum quantity: 5 kg).
Technical data sheet and safety data sheet shall be sent with the product.
6.3 Sampling
Sampling in the laboratory shall be made in accordance with ISO 8213.
After testing, the remaining marked representative samples shall be stored for six months in the testing
laboratory.
7 Marking, labelling, packaging
Absorbents intended for road usage shall bear labels or imprints, A6 size or larger, and in compliance with the
requirements and should include the following additional information on each bag in one of the languages
generally understood in the country where the product is sold.
The marking contains:
a) the nature of the product including a list of essential components;
b) R indicates: suitable for road purposes;
c) reference to the usage: "Absorbent for use on road surfaces and traffic areas";
d) reference to this Technical Specification;
e) product name or product brand name;
f) name of producer or distributor or other official identification code;
g) a code for product traceability for at least two years;
h) the contents of the package either in kilograms or in litres, with an indication of bulk density;
i) absorbency for hydrocarbons and for water as per this Technical Specification;
j) conditions for exposure, handling and storage extracted from the safety data sheet as defined in
ISO 11014-1;
k) statement of the obligations and the risks of using absorbents on roads:
1) "Absorbents contaminated by pollutants may present the same dangers as the absorbed pollutants.";
2) "They should be handled and stored with the same precautions.";
3) "Used absorbents should be removed
