Surface dressing - Test methods - Part 1: Rate of spread and accuracy of spread of binder and chippings

Edition date: 2025-11-05
In Force
Available languages: German, French, English
Summary: This document specifies test methods for determining the rates of spread and accuracy of spread of binder and chippings of a surface dressing on a section of road at a given time. This test method can also be used for determining the rate of spread and accuracy of spread of sprayed bituminous emulsions e.g. when used as bond coats or asphalt preservation systems. The performance categories for binder rate of spread and accuracy of spread in EN 12271 do not apply to bond coats and tack coats. The test methods are used on site to check the ability of binder sprayers and chipping spreaders to meet the intended rates of spread and tolerances and coefficients of variation. The test methods can be used to fulfil the Factory Production Control requirements of EN 12271 – Surface Dressings – Requirements. — Plant and equipment calibration. — Minimum inspection and test frequencies during production. Using these methods for inspections during production (FPC), allows certain changes to these methods due to the specificity of certain sites and materials used (e.g. combined chipping-binder spreaders). In this case, the changes are documented in the Factory Production Control (FPC) and identified in the test reports. Other test methods used to check the rate of spread and accuracy of spread of binder, such as the static spray bar bench test for sprayers, are not covered by this document. WARNING — The use of this document can involve hazardous operations. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish appropriate safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Ce document spécifie les méthodes d'essai à employer pour la détermination des taux d'épandage et de la régularité transversale du liant et des gravillons d'un enduit superficiel d'usure sur une section de route à un instant donné. La présente méthode d'essai peut également être utilisée pour déterminer le taux d'épandage et la régularité transversale des émulsions bitumineuses répandues, par exemple lorsqu'elles sont utilisées comme couches de liaison ou comme systèmes de préservation d'enrobés bitumineux. Les catégories de performance pour le taux d'épandage et la régularité transversale des liants figurant dans l'EN 12271 ne s'appliquent pas aux couches de liaison et aux couches d'accrochage. Les méthodes d'essai sont utilisées sur site pour contrôler la capacité des répandeuses de liant et épandeuses de gravillons à respecter les taux d'épandage, tolérances et coefficients de variation prévus. Les méthodes d'essai peuvent être utilisées pour satisfaire aux exigences en matière de contrôle de production en usine (FPC) de la norme EN 12271 – Enduits superficiels – Spécifications : – étalonnage de l’usine et de l'équipement ; – inspection en cours de chantier. L'utilisation de ces méthodes pour les inspections en cours de chantier (FPC), permet d'apporter à ces méthodes certaines modifications liées à la spécificité de certains sites et matériaux utilisés (par exemple, des épandeuses mixtes de gravillons et de liants). Dans ce cas, les modifications sont documentées dans le contrôle de production en usine et identifiées dans les rapports d'essai. D'autres méthodes d'essai utilisées pour vérifier le taux d'épandage et la régularité transversale des liants, telles que l'essai au banc de la rampe d'épandage statique pour les épandeuses, ne sont pas couvertes par le présent document, bien que les méthodes d'essai du présent document puissent être utilisées à cette fin. AVERTISSEMENT — L'utilisation du présent document peut impliquer des opérations dangereuses. Le présent document n'a pas la prétention d'aborder tous les problèmes de sécurité associés à son utilisation. Il appartient à l'utilisateur du présent document d'établir des pratiques de sécurité appropriées et de déterminer l'applicabilité des limitations réglementaires avant toute utilisation.

Dieses Dokument legt Prüfverfahren für die Bestimmung der Dosierung und Genauigkeit der Verteilung von Bindemitteln und Gesteinskörnung bei einer Oberflächenbehandlung zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt und in einem bestimmten Abschnitt einer Straßenoberfläche fest. Dieses Prüfverfahren kann auch für die Bestimmung der Dosierung und Genauigkeit der Verteilung von zum Beispiel als Haftvermittler oder Asphaltschutzsystem aufgespritzten Bitumenemulsionen verwendet werden. Die Produktleistungskategorien für die Dosierung und Genauigkeit der Verteilung des Bindemittels in EN 12271 gelten nicht für Haftvermittler und Bindeschichten. Die Prüfverfahren werden auf Baustellen benutzt, um zu überprüfen, ob die Bindemittelsprühgeräte und Gesteinskörnungsverteiler die angegebenen Dosierungen, Messunsicherheiten und Variationskoeffizienten einhalten. Die Prüfverfahren können verwendet werden, um die Anforderungen an die werkseigene Produktionskontrolle (WPK) nach EN 12271 — Oberflächenbehandlung — Anforderungen zu erfüllen:  Kalibrierung von Anlagen und Ausrüstung;  Mindest-Inspektions- und -Prüfhäufigkeiten während der Produktion. Bei der Anwendung dieser Verfahren für Inspektionen während der Produktion (WPK) sind bestimmte Änderungen der Verfahren aufgrund lokaler Besonderheiten und aufgrund der verwendeten Materialien (zum Beispiel kombinierte Gesteinskörnungs-Bindemittelverteiler) zulässig. In diesem Fall werden die Änderungen bei der werkseigenen Produktionskontrolle (WPK) dokumentiert und in den Prüfberichten angegeben. Andere Prüfverfahren für die Überprüfung der Dosierung und Genauigkeit der Verteilung des Bindemittels wie die Prüfung mit der statischen Spritzbalkenbank für Sprühgeräte werden in diesem Dokument nicht behandelt. WARNUNG — Die Anwendung dieses Dokuments kann gefährliche Arbeitsgänge bedingen. Dieses Dokument erhebt nicht den Anspruch, alle mit seiner Anwendung verbundenen Sicherheitsprobleme zu behandeln. Es liegt in der Verantwortung des Anwenders dieses Dokuments, geeignete Vorkehrungen für den Arbeitsschutz zu treffen und vor der Anwendung festzulegen, welche einschränkenden Vorschriften gelten.
