3、 the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee on 30 April 2008 BSI 2008ISBN 978 0 580 57430 6BS EN 12899-3:2007 gives guidance and background information to manufacturers of fixed vertical road traffic signs on the use of BS EN 12899-3:2007. In particular it provides guidance in relation to the infor
4、mation that a manufacturer requires from purchasers. This would enable road traffic signs to be designed and manufactured on the basis of that information whilst conforming to BS EN 12899-3:2007.Information on visual and physical performance classes is also included.Recommended classes for visual an
5、d physical performance properties considered most suitable for UK practice are given in the National Annex.This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract.

7、tandard which sets down performance values (classes) rather than a method of manufacture. It has, in most cases, several performance classes for each characteristic.Some of these classes have a range of values. A manufacturer can supply a product that has the lowest value and still meet that class.
8、Purchasers need to be aware of this when specifying requirements.National forewordThis British Standard is the UK implementation of EN 12899-3:2007. The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee B/509, Road equipment, to Subcommittee B/509/3, Traffic signs.A list of or

This European Standard shall
20、 be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 2012. No existing European Standard is superseded. This document has been prepared under
21、 a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and supports essential requirements of EU Directives. For relationship with EU Directives, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This European Standard consists of the following

It can also be used by private developers who wish to use signs on th
26、eir own land similar to those used on public highways. It can be used to implement type approval and certification testing. It derives from performance requirements and test methods published in CEN, CENELEC, CIE and ISO documents together with standards of the CEN member organizations. BS EN 12899-

28、irculation areas. It covers performance requirements and test methods. Colorimetric and retroreflective properties are specified taking into account CIE recommendations. Structural requirements include performance under static and dynamic loading. Provision is made for safety in use, including vehic
29、le impact. To define durability this standard also includes performance levels to be maintained after natural weathering exposure. No requirements are given for the use of colours, dimensions and tolerances of delineator posts and retroreflectors. 2 Normative references The following referenced docu
