Overview
EN 12697-27:2017 is the CEN European Standard that defines test methods for sampling bituminous mixtures used in roads and other paved surfaces. It specifies how to obtain increments, form bulk and representative samples, and prepare laboratory samples so that physical properties and composition (e.g., aggregate grading, binder content, water content) can be reliably determined.
This edition supersedes the 2000 version and includes technical updates such as reduced increment sizes, new sampling apparatus (sampling tube), and additional procedures (e.g., sampling from material hopper/paver).
Key topics and requirements
- Terms and definitions: Increment, bulk sample, representative sample, spot sample, laboratory sample.
- Methods of obtaining bulk samples: Detailed procedures are included for sampling from:
- lorry loads of material (including use of sampling tube),
- mastic asphalt during discharge,
- material around paver augers,
- workable heaps,
- laid but not rolled material (using trays, shovels or asphalt scoops),
- laid and compacted layers (coring, hacking or sawing out slabs),
- slat conveyors of continuous plants,
- material hopper/paver.
- Sampling coated chippings: Specific apparatus and procedures for sampling coated chippings from stockpiles.
- Marking and packaging: Requirements for labelling, packaging and completion of a sampling report to ensure traceability and suitability for laboratory testing.
- Specified sample quantities and increments: The 2017 revision reduces individual increment sizes and revises minimum sample masses depending on maximum aggregate size (examples: materials with aggregate ≤16 mm and >16 mm have revised mass requirements).
- Practical apparatus: Introduces or updates apparatus such as sampling tubes, shovels and sampling scoops; figures and examples illustrate methods and sample-drawing strategies.
Applications and users
EN 12697-27:2017 is intended for use where reliable sampling of asphalt and bituminous mixtures is required, including:
- Road and pavement contractors for on-site QC sampling during production and laying.
- Materials testing and commercial laboratories preparing samples for grading, binder content, density and water tests.
- Highway authorities and engineers enforcing specification compliance and acceptance testing.
- Plant operators and mix designers ensuring representative sampling for mix control and validation.
Using this standard helps reduce sampling bias, improves repeatability of laboratory results, and supports contract compliance and quality assurance in road construction projects.
