Correspondence The European standard EN 13108-1:2006 has the status of a French standard. Analysis This document specifies two approaches empirical and fundamental for which the final objective is the specification of bituminous asphalts. These bituminous asphalts are for use on wearing binding levelling and base courses.They may be specified either in terms of position recipes and requirements for the ponents in association with additional requirements based on tests related to perfomance (empirical) or in terms of requirements based on performance associated with limited prescriptions of position and ponents offering a wide degree of freedom(=fundamental).
