This framework for specifying asphalt has been prepared by Austroads and the Australian Asphalt Pavement Association, with input from the New Zealand Pavement and Bitumen Contractors Association (BCA) to promote national uniformity and good practice in the specification and use of asphalt throughout Australia. The document is in three parts. Part A provides a general introduction to application of asphalt specifications to variations in contracting environment. Part B provides guidance to the application of model specification clauses provided in Part C. Part C is a series of specification clauses that may be used directly in contract documentation or as a framework for the preparation of individual specifications or quality plans.
