This document specifies methods of moulding specimens from bituminous mixtures by impact compaction. Such specimens are primarily used to determine bulk density and other technological characteristics@ e.g. Marshall stability and flow according to EN 12697-34. This document applies to bituminous mixtures (both those made up in a laboratory and those resulting from work site sampling)@ with not more than 15 % by mass retained on the 22@4 mm sieve and none on the 31@5 mm sieve.
