PD 6692 gives guidance on the use of the various parts of European Standard BS EN 12697, Tests for bituminous materials, prepared by CEN/TC 227/WG1/TG2, that specify test methods for asphalt. This package includes European Standards that supersede conflicting parts of BS 598. The parts of BS 598 that are superseded by the parts in this European Standard are listed in Annex A and will be withdrawn on 1 January 2008.

b) test methods called up in at least four of the standard specifications for the different types of asphalt, BS EN 13108-1 to BS EN 13108-7, as identified in Annex B of BS EN 13108-20 (see Table 1);
c) test methods called up in only specific standard specifications, as identified in Annex B to BS EN 13108-20;
d) test procedures used to support called up test methods BS EN 12697-30 to BS EN 12697-33, as identified in Annex C of BS EN 13108-20, plus BS EN 12697-35;

9 2.4 Empirical and fundamental tests
a) performance-based requirement;
b) requirement for a fundamental engineering property (e.g. stiffness, fatigue properties) that predicts performance and appears in primary performance prediction relationships;
c) performance-related requirement;
d) requirement for a characteristic (e.g. wheel tracking properties, Marshall properties) that has been found to correlate with a fundamental engineering property that predicts performance;
e) empirical specification;
f) combination of requirements for composition and constituent materials together with performance-related requirements;
g) fundamental specification;
h) combination of performance-based requirements together with limited requirements for composition and constituent materials, with more degrees of freedom than for an empirical specification.
