EN 13108-5 defines the requirements for SMA mixtures for use on roads, airfields, and other trafficked areas. This standard should be read along with other standards as follows:
• EN 13108-20:2006, Bituminous Mixtures—Material Specifications— Part 20: Type Testing
• EN 13108-21:2006, Bituminous Mixtures— Material Specifications—Part 21: Factory Production Control
• EN 12697-x, Bituminous Mixtures. Test Methods
The mutual relationships among those standards are displayed in Figure 14.1.
Sets of properties of asphalt mixtures (Figure 14.1) are listed in the standard EN 13108-x (any from 1 to 7). Each of these properties corresponds to an appropriate test method described in a standard from the series EN 12697-x. However, it should be noted that sometimes the standard provides for more than one test procedure for

determining properties (Figure 14.1 indicates the procedures A, B, …). The standard EN 13108-x (1-7) does not specify which procedure to select but indicates that the right method can be found in the standard EN 13108-20, with directly recommended test methods and procedures provided in tables.
