What is DD CEN/TS 15324 - Determination of the EVT of bitumen or bituminous binder about?

DD CEN/TS 15324 is a draft document and technical specification that applies to bitumen and bituminous binders. The main objective of DD CEN/TS 15324 is to ensure bitumen and bituminous binders play a positive role in maintaining the structural integrity of your civil engineering works. DD CEN/TS 15324 describes the determination of the EquiViscous Temperature (EVT) of bitumen or bituminous binder samples, based on a defined, practice-related Low Shear Viscosity (LSV), using a Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) in low-frequency oscillation mode. The EquiViscous Temperature (EVT) measured by this binder test is seen as a performance indicator for the partial contribution of the bituminous binder to the rutting resistance of the compacted asphalt mixture under service conditions at elevated pavement temperatures. The test method described in DD CEN/TS 15324 is applicable to unaged, aged and recovered bituminous binders including Polymer Modified Binders (PMBs).
