Bitumen and bituminous binders - Framework for specification of hard industrial bitumens
This European Standard provides a framework for the specification of hard industrial bitumens used mainly in flooring, varnishes, mineral rubber, roofing and mastic.
Within Europe several types of hard industrial bitumen are used, and dependent upon traditional practices, different grades may be used for the same purpose. The framework given in this European standard provides a basis for quality agreements to be established between supplier and client.
The hard industrial bitumen products are graded by the limits of the ring and ball softening point values, expressed as multiples of 5, and are characterised by an H in front of the values.
Bitumen und bitumenhaltige Bindemittel - Spezifikationsrahmen für Hartbitumen für industrielle Anwendungen
Diese Europäische Norm legt einen Rahmen für die Anforderungen an Hartbitumen fest, die hauptsächlich in Fußböden, Lacken, geblasenen Bitumen, Dachbelägen und Mastix verwendet werden.
In Europa werden verschiedene Arten Hartbitumen verwendet. Je nach traditioneller Technik können unterschiedliche Sorten für denselben Zweck verwendet werden. Der in dieser Norm enthaltene Rahmen liefert eine Grundlage für Qualitätsvereinbarungen zwischen dem Lieferanten und dem Kunden.
Die Produkte von Hartbitumen werden durch die Grenzwerte des Erweichungspunktes Ring und Kugel unterteilt, ausgedrückt als Vielfache von 5 und durch ein H vor den Werten gekennzeichnet.
Bitumes et liants bitumineux - Cadre de spécifications des bitumes industriels durs
La présente Norme européenne prescrit un cadre pour les spécifications des bitumes industriels durs utilisés principalement dans les revêtements de sols, les vernis, les caoutchoucs, les toitures et les mastics. Plusieurs types de bitumes industriels durs sont utilisés en Europe, et en fonction des conditions climatiques, du type de construction et des pratiques traditionnelles, des qualités différentes peuvent être utilisés pour des applications similaires. Le cadre indiqué dans la présente norme européenne fournit une base pour les accords portant sur la qualité établis entre client et fournisseur. Les bitumes industriels durs sont classés selon les limites du point de ramollissement Bille Anneau, exprimés par multiples de 5, et sont désignés par la lettre H placée avant ces valeurs.

Overview
EN 13305:2009 - Bitumen and bituminous binders: Framework for specification of hard industrial bitumens - is a CEN European Standard that defines a simple, harmonized framework for specifying hard bitumen products used mainly in flooring, varnishes, mineral rubber, roofing and mastic. Approved in 2009 (superseding EN 13305:2003), the standard provides a basis for clear quality agreements between suppliers and clients across Europe and introduces a practical grading system based on softening point ranges.
Key Topics
- Grading system (H‑grades): Products are classified by ring-and-ball softening point limits expressed in multiples of 5 °C and prefixed with an “H” (for example H 85/95). The midpoint defines the class and limits have a tolerance of ±5 °C.
- Primary property for specification: The ring and ball softening point (EN 1427) is the defining parameter for hard industrial bitumens. For typical hard bitumens the test is carried out in glycerol because values commonly exceed 80 °C.
- Complementary characteristics and test methods: The framework references essential test methods and properties that support specification and quality control:
- Penetration at 25 °C (EN 1426) - sometimes measured at 40 °C depending on precision
- Solubility in toluene (EN 12592) - typically ≥ 99.0 %
- Loss in mass after heating (EN 13303) - for thermal stability
- Flash point (EN ISO 2592) - safety, typically > 250 °C
- Density (EN 15326) - where required
- Flexibility for local practice: The standard recognises regional variations and allows additional grades and specific agreements between supplier and client (e.g., other grades, solvent choices).
Applications and Users
Who uses EN 13305:2009:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of hard industrial bitumen seeking standardized product descriptions.
- Procurement teams specifying materials for flooring, roof membranes, mastics, varnishes and mineral rubber applications.
- Quality control and testing laboratories implementing the referenced test methods to verify compliance.
- Clients and specifiers who need a clear basis for contractual quality agreements. Practical value: reduces ambiguity in product selection, streamlines supplier‑client contracts, and supports consistent quality across European markets.
