DIN EN 12697-54:2018-02

This European Standard describes a series of accelerated protocols for curing of bituminous mixtures withbitumen emulsion in order to assess their properties. The protocols shall be selected according the type of mixture, the type of specimen, the test to be carried outand the conditions of the place of use. This European standard applies on mixtures, specimens and cores, prepared in the laboratory and/or taken from the worksite. The laboratory curing procedure is designed for asphalt mixtures containing bitumen emulsions, but it could also be used for other types of asphalt mixture that requiring curing in order to reach their potential strength.
