Scope
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the staining tendency of bitumen.
NOTE 1 Staining properties are related to the colloidal stability of the bitumen with higher values indicating lower stability.
The method is applicable to bitumen having a ring-and-ball softening point greater than or equal to 80 °C.
NOTE 2 For softer bitumen the test conditions may be modified by agreement between the involved parties.
The procedure described in this standard may be used to compare results against a material for which the staining tendency is known.
