It supersedes BS EN 12899-1:2001, which is withdrawn.The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee B/509, Road equipment, to Subcommittee B/509/3, Construction of road traffic signs.A list of organizations represented on this commit
5、tee can be obtained on request to its secretary.BS EN 12899-1:2007 fully takes into account the requirements of the European Commission Mandate M/111, Circulation fixtures, given under the EU Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC).This standard sets down performance values (classes) rather tha
6、n 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. Specifiers need to be aware of this.BS EN 12899-1:2007 gives gu
7、idance and background information to manufacturers of fixed vertical road traffic. In particular it provides guidance in relation to the information that a manufacturer requires from specifiers. This would enable road traffic signs to be designed and manufactured on the basis of that information whi
8、lst conforming to this standard.Information on visual and physical performance classes is also included.Recommended classes for visual and physical performance properties considered most suitable for UK practice are given in National Annex NA.The publication does not purport to include all the neces

BS EN 12899-1:2007EN 12899-1:2007 (E)5 Introduction This European Standard is designed for use by road authorities. It can also be used by private developers who wishto use signs on their own land similarto
26、those used on publichighways. ThisEuropean Standard: can be used to implement typeapproval and certification testing; derives from performance requirements and test methods published in CEN, CENELEC, CIE and ISOdocumentstogether with standardsofthe CENmemberorganizations; doesnot require the replace
27、ment ofexisting signs; coversperformance requirementsand testmethods; defines performance limits and a range of performance classes. Colorimetric and retroreflective properties, as wellasthe luminance and illuminance, are specified; The retroreflective requirements and tests in respect of materials
28、based on glass bead technology arespecified in thisstandard. The performance of retroreflective materialsusing microprismatictechnologyisspecified in the relevantETA which enablesCEmarking ofsuchmaterial. Wind actions can be specified bythe use of either values in this standard or bythe methods spec
29、ified inEN 1991-1-4.Structural requirements for signs complete with sign supports include performance under static and dynamicloading. Provision ismade forsafetyinuse,including vehicle impact. BS EN 12899-1:2007EN 12899-1:2007 (E)6 1 Scope This Part1 of EN 12899 specifies requirements for complete s
30、ign assemblies (including supports), signs(sign plates with sign faces), sign plates (without sign faces) and for other major components(retroreflective sheeting, supportsand luminaires). The main intended use of fixed signs is for the instruction and guidance of road users on public andprivate land
31、. Mattersnot coveredbythisstandard:a) sign gantryand cantileverstructures; b) signs with discontinuousmessages, e.g. using light emitting diodes(LED),orfibre optics;c) variable message signs; d) signsusedfortemporarypurposes; e) foundations; f) testsforextremelylowtemperatures. 2 Normative reference
