1 Scope
This European Standard specifies Factory Production Control (FPC) requirements for
use by the manufacturers of bituminous emulsions, cut-back and fluxed binders.
This European Standard is applicable to the control of bituminous binders where the
constituents and composition are known, having been derived from a prescriptive specification
or from the Initial Type Test (ITT) procedure for demonstration of performance related
properties described in the appropriate product standard or from a European Technical
Approval.
NOTE 1 Factory Production Control is a requirement of all harmonised elements of harmonised
European Standards and European Technical Approvals for bituminous binders if the
CE mark of conformity is to be affixed. The system can also be applied to non-harmonised
elements and to situations where CE marking is not mandatory.
NOTE 2 Regulated properties of the products are involved in this document.
