本欧洲标准提供了一个框架，用于指定沥青的一系列属性和相关测试方法，适用于道路，机场和其他铺筑区域的建设和维护，以及符合性评估的要求。 这个欧洲标准并不直接涉及到粘合力，附着力和凝固能力（见简介）。 注意虽然工业沥青根据EN 13305规定，但应强调的是，根据本欧洲标准规定的摊铺级沥青也可用于工业应用

This European Standard provides a framework for specifying a range of properties and relevant test methods for bitumens, which are suitable for use in the construction and maintenance of roads, airfields and other paved areas, together with requirements for evaluation of conformity. This European Standard does not directly address ‘cohesion, adhesion and setting ability’ (see Introduction). NOTE Although industrial bitumens are specified according to EN 13305, it should be underlined that paving grade bitumens, specified according to this European Standard, can also be used for industrial applications.
