This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2003. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. EN 13304:2003 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard provides a framework for the specification of oxidised bitumen used mainly in roofing, waterproofing and adhesives. Within Europe several types of oxidised bitumens are used and, dependent on climatic conditions, type of building construction and traditional practices, different grades may be used for the same purpose. The framework given in this Standard provides a basis for quality agreements to be established between supplier and client. The oxidised bitumen products are graded by a combination of the values of ring and ball softening point and penetration at 25 °C, expressed as multiples of 5. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments). EN 1426, Bitumen and bituminous binders Determination of needle penetration.

EXAMPLE85/25 means that the Ring and ball softening point of the product is between 80 °C and 90 °C and penetration between 20 x 0,1 mm and 30 x 0,1 mm. NOTEThis list does not imply that the grades are available in all countries, neither is it intended to be comprehensive or limiting. Other grades may be supplied in accordance with the local custom or circumstance, and by agreement between client and supplier.
