About This Item
TS EN 12597 is a terminology standard that brings together the terms and definitions used for bitumen and bituminous binders. Its main purpose is to provide a shared technical language for the same family of materials, reducing ambiguity in naming bitumen, bituminous binders and related products across different sectors.
The technical context of bituminous binders
Bitumen is a dark hydrocarbon-based binder used in road paving, waterproofing and a range of industrial applications. The broader term bituminous binders also includes not only straight bitumen but related binder families that may be modified or formulated to achieve different performance characteristics. Terminology standards help keep these names consistent and make it clear which material form, technical context and meaning is intended.
What this standard provides as a common vocabulary
- The standard covers terminology for bitumen and bituminous binders.
- Its focus is terminology and naming consistency rather than performance testing.
- It helps the same concept be understood consistently across languages and sectors.
- It is an equivalent terminology document based on EN 12597.
- It supports the language used in road engineering, building materials and petroleum technology contexts.
For that reason, TS EN 12597 is better understood as a reference document for technical communication than as a product or test method standard. It is especially useful in specifications, laboratory reporting, documentation and product descriptions where precise terminology matters.
