Other Parts
9、 of this standard are as follows: Part 1: Specification for coin operated clockwork parking meters; Part 3: Specification for pay and display equipment; Part 4: Specification for barrier type parking control equipment; Part 5: Guide to the requirements for non-coin operated apparatus for use with pa
10、rking control equipment. Further Parts are under consideration. Whilst it is not within the scope of this standard, attention is drawn to the guidance of the Design Council on the aesthetic qualities of street furniture. Because multi-bay meters are seldom employed, requirements for such meters have
11、 been excluded from this Part of BS6571. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

13、e front cover.BS6571-2:1989 BSI 09-1999 1 1 Scope This Part of BS 6571 specifies requirements for electrically powered parking meters activated by coins, tokens, cards or electronic devices. This standard covers the following types of meter using one or more methods of activation: a) single, compris
14、ing one meter head controlling one bay; b) double, comprising two separate meter heads on a common mounting controlling two separate bays; c) twin, comprising a housing or case containing a module or modules to control independently two parking bays; d) multi-head, comprising a number of meter heads
15、 on a common mounting to control independently a number of parking bays. This standard does not cover multi-bay meters.
