Scope
This Published Document gives guidance on the use of BS EN 12271 and BS EN 12273 in the United Kingdom. BS EN 12271 specifies the properties of surface dressing whilst BS EN 12273 specifies the properties of slurry surfacing and microsurfacing. This Published Document gives guidance on the performance requirements and control procedures for the installation of both surface treatments as products for the maintenance of roads and other trafficked areas. The Published Document does not apply to the following: • surface dressings designed by the purchaser; i.e. the recipe approach for which the contractor is instructed as to the rates of spread, chipping size, etc., and therefore is not responsible for performance requirements; • surface treatments in tunnels where fire regulations apply; • small areas under 500 m2 which are not contiguous, such as patch repair; • airfield pavements covered by international regulations (e.g. International Civil Aviation Organization regulations). NOTE In BS EN 12271 “other trafficked areas” include footways and cycleways.
