This European Standard specifies the methods for compacting parallelepipedic specimens (slabs) of bituminous mixtures, to be used directly for subsequent testing, or from which test specimens are cut. For a given mass of bituminous mixture, the specimens can be prepared either under controlled compaction energy, or until a specified volume and therefore bulk density are obtained. This standard is applicable to bituminous mixtures manufactured in the laboratory or in a mixing plant.
