Surface dressing - Test methods - Part 1: Rate of spread and accuracy of spread of binder and chippings; German version EN 12272-1:2025
Abstract
This document specifies test methods for determining the rates of spread and accuracy of spread of binder and chippings of a surface dressing on a section of road at a given time. This test method can also be used for determining the rate of spread and accuracy of spread of sprayed bituminous emulsions e.g. when used as bond coats or asphalt preservation systems. The performance categories for binder rate of spread and accuracy of spread in EN 12271 do not apply to bond coats and tack coats. The test methods are used on site to check the ability of binder sprayers and chipping spreaders to meet the intended rates of spread and tolerances and coefficients of variation. The test methods can be used to fulfil the Factory Production Control requirements of the EN 12271 – Surface Dressings – Requirements. – Plant and equipment calibration. – Minimum inspection and test frequencies during production. Using these methods for inspections during production (FPC), allows certain changes to these methods due to the specificity of certain sites and materials used (e.g. combined chipping-binder spreaders). In this case, the changes are documented in the Factory Production Control (FPC) and identified in the test reports. Other test methods used to check the rate of spread and accuracy of spread of binder, such as the static spray bar bench test for sprayers, are not covered by this document.
