Eurobitume’s Technical Committee brings together experts drawn from member organisations across Europe. Further specialist task forces and working groups are also formed to address specific, current, technical issues and Eurobitume’s technical agenda is led by its Technical Director, Mike Southern.
The work of Eurobitume’s Technical Committee includes establishing the European bitumen industry position on matters such as performance-based standards, specifications, binder selection systems and characterisation tools.
The committee has recently published Eurobitume’s Data Collection Report, concluding a major initiative to collate data on the most commonly used test methods for the purpose of development of new performance related specifications for the more complex, high performance, polymer modified bitumens.

Standardisation
Europe is developing a new and common system of specifications to describe paving bitumens, including modified bitumens and special binders. More
CE Marking
CE marking for bituminous binders moved a step closer with the citation in the Official Journal of the EU of the harmonised standards for paving grade bitumen (EN12591), hard paving grade bitumen (EN 13924), bituminous emulsions (EN 13808) and cutback and fluxed bitumens (EN15322). More
