23、 product family. NOTE 1 Products can be in different product families for different characteristics. EXAMPLE 1 Example of a product family for physical characteristics: the loaded area of the product is equal or smaller; the distance between the foundation and the resultant of the load is equal or s

24、maller; number, design, construction and location of supports is equal or more favourable; fixing systems are equal or stronger and stiffer than the product tested or calculated. EXAMPLE 2 Example of a product family for visual characteristics: signs using the same sign face material NOTE 2 Defining

25、 product families allows verification to be reduced. 4 Requirements and test methods 4.1 General 4.1.1 Introduction An initial type test is the complete set of tests or other procedures, determining the performance of samples of products representative of the product type. Initial type testing shall

26、 be performed to show conformity to this standard on first use of this standard for complete sign assemblies (including supports), signs (sign plate including sign faces), sign plates (without sign faces) and for other major components (retroreflective sheeting, supports and luminaires), transillumi

27、nated traffic bollards, delineator posts and retroreflectors being placed on the market and: at the beginning of the production of a new or modified product; at the beginning of a new or modified method of production. In case of initial type testing on these products for which testing in accordance

28、with this standard has already been performed, testing may be reduced: if it has been established that the performance characteristics compared with the already tested products have not been affected; or where kit components are used whose characteristics have already been determined on the basis of

29、 conformity to this or other technical specifications; in accordance with the rules for product families and/or direct or extended applications of test results. DIN EN 12899-5:2008-02 EN 12899-5:2007 (E) 6 These characteristics need not be reassessed (but see EN 12899-4) provided that the components

30、 performance or method of assessment remain the same and provided that these manufacturers or suppliers have FPC systems providing the same level of confidence as this standard. NOTE This may be relevant for retroreflective sheetings, sign faces, supports, clamps, etc. The manufacturer shall assess

31、the effect of any modification to the product that has been the subject of an ITT on the performance of the product. If the performance of any of the product characteristics is likely to have been reduced by the modification, those characteristics shall be the subject of a new ITT. The products from

32、 which the test product, sample or reference sample is prepared shall be in accordance with the technical documentation and shall be prepared in accordance with normal production methods. All characteristics in 4.2 shall be subject to initial type testing, with the following exception: release of da

33、ngerous substances may be assessed indirectly by controlling the content of the substance concerned. 4.1.2 Use of historical data Tests previously performed on the same fixed vertical signs, transilluminated traffic bollards, delineator posts and retroreflectors in accordance with the provisions of

34、this standard (same characteristics, test method, sampling procedure, system of attestation of conformity, etc.) may be taken into account. The technical description, including drawings, shall be as specified in Annex A. 4.1.3 Treatment of calculated values and design In those cases where conformity

35、 to this standard is based on calculations, type testing will be limited to the verification of the calculations made and that the resulting products/kits correspond to the descriptions/assumptions made in the design and/or calculations. For example, where calculations of the resistance to horizonta

36、l load are based on an assumed material grade and fixings and fastenings, verification will, in addition to checking the calculation themselves, check that the products are of the correct grade and that the fixings and fastenings are correct. In some cases, the manufacturer may produce products in a

37、ccordance with a design and/or calculations provided by a third party. In this case, verification will not be of the design or calculations themselves, but only of the fact that the products conform to the assumptions of the design and/or calculations. NOTE This could occur in respect of a client-de

38、signed product. 4.1.4 Sampling Initial type testing shall be performed on samples representative of the product/components supplied for ITT. Sample sizes shall be suitable for the testing equipment to be employed. 4.1.5 Testing and conformity criteria The number of products/components to be tested (

39、or assessed) shall be in accordance with 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4. 4.1.6 Records The results of all type tests shall be recorded and held by the manufacturer for at least 5 years from the date on which the product was placed upon the market, the period specified in the FPC or the period of warranty, whichev

In case of testing

41、by calculation, the manufacturer shall provide, instead of test products, relevant drawings, calculations and the technical specifications. 4.2.2 Test products and/or samples for fixed signs and components Table 1 Applicable clauses and number of test products for ITT Essential requirements Characte
