This standard BS EN 13589:2018 Bitumen and bituminous binders. Determination of the tensile properties of modified bitumen by the force ductility method is classified in these ICS categories:
91.100.50 Binders. Sealing materials
75.140 Waxes, bituminous materials and other petroleum products
This European Standard specifies a method for determining the tensile properties of an unaged, aged, residual or recovered bituminous binder, in particular those of polymer-modified bitumens by means of a force ductility test. The work done during the force ductility test is a criterion for assessing the quality of these materials. WARNING - The use of this European Standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This European Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this European Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
