This European Standard specifies a method for determining the adhesion of a bituminous emulsion coated onto aggregate when immersed in water.The method considers two different aspects of adhesivity, i.e. immediate adhesivity and water effect on binder adhesion.The method may be used with a reference aggregate. In that case, it measures the intrinsic adhesion behaviour of a bituminous emulsion. The method may also be used with a specific aggregate as used on a job site.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.
