Footnote 1: The testing frequency stipulated herein shall be mandatory unless otherwise
stated. The tests are to be conducted as per the demands of the site as applicable. The
same testing sequence and frequency shall be adopted for the recycled materials as
applicable.
2
Footnote 2: All testing will have to be carried out on site or at a designated laboratory
irrespective of whether the materials have been tested by the manufacturer or by an
intermediate party (such as asphalt, concrete etc supplier) or the availability of the conformity
certificates.
3
Footnote 3: All the reference standards and documents are listed at the end of this table for
ease of reference. [Note: Where available/applicable the ASTM version used should be the
metric edition, ie, ‘M version’ (or ASTM D1234M etc).]
4
Footnote 4: The Contractor shall carry out the maximum number of tests, ie, whichever
condition comes first (ie, whichever is more frequent). Sampling and testing frequency may
be modified as directed by the Engineer.
5
Footnote 5: Minimum frequencies shall be deemed to include ‘part thereof’. For example; ‘1
test per 2000 m2’ or ‘1 test per 50 units’ shall be interpreted as ‘1 test per 2000 m2 or part
thereof’ or ‘1 test per 50 units or part thereof’ etc respectively, ie, the Contractor is required
to carry out the stipulated testing for amount of work which is less than the mentioned
amount.

Footnote 28: The terms Bitumen and/or Asphalt refers to any material with the similar
characteristic as the common bitumen and/or asphalt [All types of Base Course (BC),
Intermediate Course (IC), Service Course (SC), Wearing Course etc, Bitumen Binder of all
types]. Hence all tests mentioned regarding bitumen and/or asphalt shall be carried out for
any material with the similar characteristics as bitumen and/or asphalt at the specified
frequency.
