The European Standards on Materials for Concrete Pavements

CEN Technical Committee TC 227 is responsible for the European Standards dealing with road materials. As a part of its working programme, 33 standards have been prepared concerning materials for concrete pavements. Six of them deal with specifications for materials, functional properties of concrete pavements, dowels and joint sealants (hot applied, cold applied and preformed seals), whereas the rest are devoted to test methods. A general overview of these standards is given in the paper.
