This European Standard describes a series of accelerated protocols for curing of bituminous mixtures with bitumen emulsion in order to assess their properties. The protocols should be selected according to the type of mixture@ the type of specimen@ the test to be carried out and the conditions of the place of use. This European Standard applies on mixtures@ specimens and cores@ prepared in the laboratory and/or taken from the worksite. The laboratory curing procedure is designed for asphalt mixtures containing bitumen emulsions@ but it could also be used for other types of asphalt mixture that require curing in order to reach their potential strength.
