1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the properties of aggregates and filler aggregates obtained by processing natural or
manufactured or recycled materials for use in bituminous mixtures and surface treatments for roads, airfields and
other trafficked areas. This standard does not cover the use of reclaimed bituminous mixtures.
It provides for the evaluation of conformity of the products to this European Standard.
NOTE 1 The requirements in this European Standard are based upon experience with aggregate types with an established
pattern of use. Care should be taken when considering the use of aggregates from sources with no such pattern of use, e.g.,
recycled aggregates and aggregates arising from certain industrial by-products. Such aggregates, which should comply with all
the requirements of this European Standard, could have other characteristics not included in Mandate M 125 that do not apply
to the generality of aggregates types with an established pattern of use and when required, provisions valid at the place of use
can be used to assess their suitability.
NOTE 2 Properties for lightweight aggregates are specified in prEN 13055-2.

Where signs of “Sonnenbrand” are known the loss of mass and the resistance to fragmentation shall be determined
in accordance with EN 1367-3 and EN 1097-2:1998.
NOTE "Sonnenbrand" is a type of rock decay that can be present in some basalts and manifests itself under the influence
of atmospheric conditions. It starts with the appearance of grey/white coloured spots. Usually hairline cracks are generated
radiating out from the spots and interconnecting them. This reduces the strength of the mineral fabric, and as a result the rock
decays to small particles. Depending on the source this process can take place within months of extraction or extend over
several decades. In exceptional cases a rapid decay results in the formation of large cracks and the breaking of aggregate
particles.
On completion of the boiling test, the loss of mass and the resistance to fragmentation (SBSZ or SBLA) shall be
declared in accordance with the relevant category specified in Table 21 according to the particular application or
end use.

prEN 13043:2001 (E)
Annex A
(informative)
Notes for guidance on the freezing and thawing resistance of aggregates
A.1 General
The susceptibility of an aggregate to damage from freezing and thawing action will depend primarily on climate,
end use, petrographic type and on the size distribution of the pores within the aggregate particles.
A.1.1 Climate
The severity of any damage will be related to the frequency of freeze thaw cycles, the degrees of freezing and
thawing and the degree of saturation of the aggregate particles.
A.1.2 End Use
Aggregate will be susceptible to damage from freezing and thawing action under partially or fully saturated
environmental conditions or in high humidity situations. The risk of damage is significantly increased where the
aggregate is exposed to seawater or to the action of de-icing salts.
A.1.3 Petrographic type
Freezing and thawing resistance is related to the strength of the aggregate particles and to the size and distribution
of the pores within the particles.
A.2 Testing
A.2.1 Indicative tests
Tests that can give an indication of freeze thaw susceptibility include either petrographical examination or one of
the physical tests indicated below. Aggregates complying with the requirements of any one of these tests can be
considered freeze-thaw resistant.
A.2.2 Petrographic examination
A petrographic examination of the aggregate according to the procedure specified in EN 932-3 will give an
indication of the presence of weak and/or highly absorptive particles that can be susceptible to damage from
freeze-thaw action. Where the presence of such particles is observed or suspected one of the physical tests given
in 4.2 can be used to assess freeze-thaw resistance of the aggregate.
Susceptible aggregates derived from highly weathered rocks and some conglomerates and breccias can include for
example some or all of the following:
Schist, mica schist, phyllite, chalk, marl, shale, porous flint, altered porous rock or particles
loosely cemented by clay minerals.
A.2.3 Water absorption
When the water absorption of the aggregate determined in accordance with EN 1097-6:2000 is not greater than the
value selected in accordance with 4.2.9.1 the aggregate can be considered resistant to freeze-thaw attack.
However, many satisfactory aggregates have higher absorption values.
26
prEN 13043:2001 (E)
For example some Jurassic limestones and sandstones frequently have absorption values in excess of 4 % whilst
blastfurnace slags, Permian limestones, dolomites and Carboniferous sandstones frequently have absorption
values in excess of 2 % but these materials can still have adequate freeze-thaw resistance.
With some aggregates containing a proportion of porous flint aggregate sources the differentiation between
satisfactory and unsatisfactory freeze-thaw durability can be better assessed by density measurements rather than
water absorption.
A.2.4 Other indicative tests
Either a freeze-thaw test determined in accordance with EN 1367-1:1999 or a magnesium sulfate test determined
in accordance with EN 1367-2 can be applied to assess the freeze-thaw resistance of an aggregate.
A.3 Selection of category
Where a satisfactory service record for the performance of an aggregate under similar conditions of use to that
intended is available, the aggregate can be deemed acceptable. In cases where a satisfactory record is not
available and testing is deemed necessary, the environmental conditions, end use and climate can be used to
select an appropriate category from Table A.1. The selected category can then be used in conjunction with 4.2.9 to
set the required level of freeze-thaw resistance or magnesium sulfate soundness.

B.2, B.3 and B.4.
NOTE 1 Test frequencies are generally related to periods of production. A period of production is defined as a full week,
month or year of production working days.
NOTE 2 The requirements for factory production control can introduce visual inspection. Any deviations indicated by these
inspections can lead to increased test frequencies.
NOTE 3 When the measured value is close to a specified limit the frequency can need to be increased.
29
prEN 13043:2001 (E)
NOTE 4 Under special conditions the test frequencies can be decreased below those given in Tables B.1, B.2, B.3 and B.4.
These conditions could be:
a) highly automated production equipment;
