DIN-Taschenbuch 73

Screed Work, Mastic Asphalt Work

Screed and mastic asphalt remain two of the most important materials in residential and road construction. They are highly versatile and have properties that are easy to calculate. This collection of standards brings together 30 documents on screed and mastic asphalt work. The scope ranges from definitional standards to the ATV within the framework of VOB/C, tolerances, compositions, and test methods, through to general and specific requirements.

Various binders are covered, as are application methods and use cases, such as screeds in the construction industry. In addition, a correction standard is included. The broad scope of this compendium of standards and its substantial length of nearly 700 pages make it an indispensable resource for all those who professionally plan, prepare, execute, or oversee screed and mastic asphalt work.

The following subject areas are covered in DIN Pocket Book 73:

• Screeds and Mastic Asphalt
• Materials and Components for Screeds and Mastic Asphalt
• Execution

It also includes a list of additional standards in this subject area that are not included in this book.

A Proven Collection of Standards on Screeds and Mastic Asphalt

Since the publication of the previous edition of the DIN Pocket Book 73 in 2019, there have been significant changes in the standards landscape surrounding screeds and mastic asphalt: This 16th edition contains seven newly included and six revised documents. This reflects the importance of the field—the finishing trades continue to be the largest sector within the skilled trades. The standards compiled here provide information on:

• Terminology
• Properties
• Requirements and specifications
• Test methods
• Installation
• Proof of conformity

Among the newly added documents are DIN EN 13055 on lightweight aggregates, the trilingual terminology standard DIN EN 13318, and Parts 9 and 10 of the screed testing standard DIN EN 13892.
