DIN EN 12899-3:2008-02 EN 12899-3:2007 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is designed for use by road authorities. It can al
21、so be used by private developers who wish to use signs on their 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
22、with standards of the CEN member organizations. DIN EN 12899-3:2008-02 EN 12899-3:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This Part 3 of EN 12899 specifies requirements for new delineator posts and for new retroreflectors as separate products or combined together to be used in traffic circulation areas. It covers perfor
23、mance 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 vehicle impact. To define durability th
24、is 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 documents are indispensable for the ap
25、plication of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
