1 Scope
This European standard specifies the requirements for performance characteristics of cationic bituminous emulsion
classes which are suitable for use in the construction and maintenance of roads, airfields and other paved areas.

This European standard applies to emulsions of pure bitumen, or of fluxed bitumen, or of cut back bitumen and to
emulsions of polymer modified bitumen, or of polymer modified fluxed bitumen, or of polymer modified cut-back
bitumen, which also includes latex modified bituminous emulsions.

NOTE 1 Within Europe several types of cationic bituminous emulsions are used. Depending on traditional practices, different
binder contents may be used for the same purpose.

The framework for specifying cationic bituminous emulsions in this European standard provides a basis for quality
agreements between suppliers and clients. Care should be taken to make class selections which are compatible
and realistic.

NOTE 2 For the purposes of this European standard, the term “% (m/m)” is used to represent the mass fraction.

NOTE Examples for abbreviation terms of bituminous emulsions are given in Annex A.

The following abbreviation terms are used in the specification tables of this European standard (see Tables 3, 4
and 5):

NPD for "No Performance Determined": this class has been included to accommodate countries where the
characteristic, for a given intended use, is not subject to regulatory requirements (see ZA.1).

TBR for "To Be Reported": this class shall mean that the manufacturer is invited, but not required, to provide
information with the product.

NOTE These values may be used for future development of specifications.

DV for "Declared Value": this class shall mean that the manufacturer is required to provide a value as part of a
regulatory declaration and subsequent regulatory marking.

5 Requirements and test methods

All characteristics of cationic bituminous emulsions shall be classified in accordance with the appropriate parts of
Tables 3, 4 and 5.

In specifying an emulsion, the appropriate class for each technical requirement shall be selected in turn.

In the selection of the test method for the requirement binder content as well as viscosity, only one choice of
requirement from each group shall be chosen. The selection of classes for all requirements shall be made to avoid
unworkable combinations.

NOTE 1 Tables 3, 4 and 5 include a "No Performance Determined" class (NPD) and a "To Be Reported" or a "Declared
Value" class (TBR or DV). The remaining classes list values or ranges for each requirement.

NOTE 2 Tables 3 to 5 apply to emulsions being specified in all countries. Each country will then have a particular selection of
specifications, which, if regulated, are covered in Tables 3, 4 and 5 (see Table 2). It is useful for each country to publish in a
national guidance document for each application, their requirements from the tables. The appropriate class for each technical
requirement of application is selected in turn and the selection of classes should be made on a regional basis, in order to avoid
unworkable combinations. An example of a typical specification for a C65BP3 emulsion is presented in Annex B.

 EN 13808:2005 (E)

NOTE 3 The test method given for dynamic viscosity in Table 3 and the test procedures for stabilisation and ageing of
binders given in Table 5 have not been used previously in Europe. Until a sufficient body of data has been accumulated which
will allow performance classes to be established, the ‘Declared Value’ or the 'To Be Reported' class should be used when
dynamic viscosity is specified in Table 3 and for all requirements specified in Table 5.

6 Evaluation of conformity

6.1 General

The compliance of cationic bituminous emulsions with the requirements of this European standard and with the
stated values (including classes) shall be demonstrated by:

 initial type testing;

 factory production control.

NOTE The information from evaluation of conformity will be available for audit as detailed in the factory production control
system as 6.3.

6.2 Type testing

6.2.1 Initial type testing (ITT)

Initial type tests shall be performed to show conformity with this European standard. Tests previously performed in
accordance with the provisions of this European standard (same product, same characteristic(s), test method,
sampling procedure, system of attestation of conformity, etc.) may be taken into account.

All the characteristics given in the Factory Production Control (FPC) document shall be subject to initial type
testing.

6.2.2 Further type testing

Whenever a change occurs in the raw materials or the production process which would change significantly one or
more of the characteristics, the type test shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s).

6.2.3 Sampling, testing and compliance criteria

Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with EN 58.

The results of all type tests (initial and further type tests) shall be recorded, held by the manufacturer at least five
years and be available for inspection.

6.3 Factory production control (FPC)

The manufacturer shall establish documents and maintain a Quality Plan including a FPC system according to
prEN 14733. The test frequency is defined in prEN 14733.

An FPC system conforming to the requirements of EN ISO 9001 and made product specific to the requirement of
the European standard is considered to satisfy the above requirements.

Table 3 (continued) — Specification framework for technical requirements and performance classes of cationic bituminous emulsions

NOTE Some high viscosity, polymer modified cationic bituminous emulsions are not stable and/or are difficult to handle at room temperature. Consequently, it is recommended that these
emulsions be stored above 50 °C following sampling and prior to testing. In addition it is recommended that laboratory tests are carried out on polymer modified emulsions within a period
which is consistent with their stability.

a Class 1, TBR, may not be used for regulatory declaration and marking purposes.

b The binder content of an emulsion determined by the method described in EN 1428 shall be defined as [100 - water content].
c The binder content of the emulsion determined by the distillation method described in EN 1431 shall be defined as [per cent by mass of the recovered binder + per cent by mass of oil
distillate].
d The per cent by mass of oil distillate m, can be determined on bulk quantities of flux following the determination of density, by EN ISO 3838 and the determination of per cent by volume of
distillate obtained by EN 1431. If the density cannot be determined in this way, a value of 0,850 may be assumed.

Compliance with these clauses confers a presumption of fitness of the bituminous emulsions covered by this Annex
for the intended uses indicated herein; reference shall be made to the information accompanying the CE marking.

WARNING — Other requirements and other EU Directives, not affecting the fitness for intended uses, can
be applicable to the bituminous emulsions falling within the scope of this European Standard.

NOTE 1 In addition to any specific clauses relating to dangerous substances contained in this standard, there may be other
requirements applicable to the products falling within its scope (e.g. transposed European legislation in national laws,
regulations and administrative provisions). In order to meet the provisions of the EU Construction Products Directive, these
requirements need also to be complied with, when and where they apply.

NOTE 2 An informative database of European and national provisions on dangerous substances is available at the
Construction web site on EUROPA (accessed through
http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/construction/internal/dangsub/dangmain.htm).

This Annex establishes the conditions for the CE marking of bituminous emulsions intended for the uses indicated
in Tables ZA.1.1, ZA.1.2 and ZA.1.3 and shows the relevant clauses applicable.

This Annex has the same scope as Clause 1 of this standard and is defined by Tables ZA.1.1, ZA.1.2 and ZA.1.3.

The requirement for any characteristic is not necessary in any Member State (MS) where there is no regulatory
requirement on that characteristic for the intended use of the product. In this case, manufacturers placing their
products on the market are not obliged to determine nor to declare the performance of their products with regard to
this characteristic and the option "no performance determined" (NPD) in the information accompanying the CE
marking (see Clause ZA.3) may be used. The NPD option may not be used, however, where the characteristic is
subject to a threshold level.

ZA.2.2 EC certificate and declaration of conformity

When compliance with the conditions of this Annex is achieved, and once the notified body has drawn up the
certificate mentioned below, the manufacturer or his agent established in the EEA shall prepare and retain a
declaration of conformity, which entitles the manufacturer to affix the CE marking. This declaration shall include:

 name and address of the manufacturer, or his authorised representative established in the EEA, and the place
of production;

 description of the product (type, identification, use, …) and a copy of the information accompanying the CE
marking;

 provisions to which the product conforms (i.e. Annex ZA of this EN);

 particular conditions applicable to the use of the product (e.g. provisions for use under certain conditions);

 the number of the accompanying factory production control certificate;

 name of, and position held by, the person empowered the declaration on behalf the manufacturer or his
authorized representative.

The declaration shall be accompanied by a factory production control certificate, drawn up by the notified body,
which shall contain, in addition to the information above, the following:

 name and address of the notified body;

 the number of the factory production control product conformity certificate;

 conditions and period of validity of the certificate, where applicable;

 name of, and position held by, the person empowered to sign the certificate.

The above mentioned declaration and certificate shall be presented in the official language or languages of the
Member State in which the product is to be used.

ZA.3 CE marking and labelling

The manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the EEA is responsible for the affixing of the
CE marking. The CE marking symbol to affix shall be in accordance with Directive 93/68/EC and shall be shown on
the accompanying commercial documents (e.g. a delivery note). The following information accompany the CE
marking symbol together with the relevant test method against the characteristic if more than one test method is
available under this standard:

 identification number of the certification body;

 name or identifying mark and registered address of the producer;

 the last two digits of the year of affixing the CE marking;

 factory production control certificate (if relevant);

 reference to this European Standard (EN 13808);

 description of the product: generic name, material, dimensions, designation… and intended use;

 viscosity;

 water effect on binder adhesion;

22
 EN 13808:2005 (E)

 breaking behaviour;

 consistency at intermediate service temperature;

 consistency at elevated service temperature;

 cohesion (where relevant);

 durability of the consistency at intermediate service temperatures;

 durability of the consistency at elevated service temperature;

 durability of cohesion (where relevant);

 information on those relevant essential characteristics listed in Tables ZA.1.1 to ZA.1.3 which are to be
declared presented as follows:

 declared values, and where relevant, level or class (including "pass" for pass/fail requirements where
necessary) to declare for each essential characteristic as indicated in "Notes" in Table ZA.1.1, ZA.1.2
and ZA.1.3;

 "No performance determined" for characteristics where this is relevant;

 as an alternative, a standard designation which shows some or all of the relevant characteristics
(where the designation covers only some characteristics, it will need to be supplemented with
declared values for other characteristics as above).

The "No performance determined" (NPD) option may not be used where the characteristic is subject to a threshold
level. Otherwise, the NPD option may be used when and where the characteristic, for a given intended use, is not
subject to regulatory requirements in the Member State of destination.
