Inspection and testing of finished bituminous mixture

The produced asphalt should also be inspected and tested on a regular basis. 

The inspection frequency and the types of tests as recommended by CEN EN 13108-21 (2008) are given in Table 9.3. 

Other mix characteristics to be tested regardless of asphalt type mixture, according to CEN EN 13108-21 (2008), are void content and, if reclaimed asphalt is used, the penetration and the softening point (R B) of the reclaimed binder. In the case of mastic asphalt, only the indentation on cubes (CEN EN 12697-20 2012) is required to be determined.
