23、 and other procedures determining the performance of the test module 3.2 manufacturer producer with legal responsibility for placing the product on the market 3.3 supplier producer of components (e.g. sign faces, fixing devices, optical devices, luminous sources, etc) for the product 3.4 test module
24、 test module is a sample that is representative of the finished product (see EN 12966-1:2005, 9.1) EN 12966-2:2005 (E) 5 4 System requirements 4.1 General The manufacturer shall demonstrate that characteristics which claim to be pre-tested comply with the requirements of this document. During the In
25、itial Type Testing sequence, if one test fails the manufacturer shall identify the cause of test failure and the proposed modification to the test module after which the failure within the sequence shall be retested. The technical description, including drawings, shall be as specified in Annex A . S
26、tatic calculations shall include all fixings and attachments. The conformity of VMS test module to the requirements of this standard and with the stated values (including classes) shall be demonstrated by initial type testing. NOTE 1 Factory production control by the manufacturer, including product
27、assessment is covered by EN 12966-3. For the purposes of testing, the VMS may be grouped into families, where it is considered that the selected property/properties is/are common to all VMS within that family. Initial type testing shall be performed to show conformity with this standard on first use
28、 of this document for VMS being put onto the market and: - at the beginning of the production of a new or modified VMS design, the raw material or supplier of the components, - at the beginning of a new or modified method of production. In case of type testing on VMS for which initial type testing i
29、n accordance with this standard was already performed, type testing may be reduced: - if it has been established that the performance characteristics compared with the already tested VMS have not been affected, or - in accordance with the rules for grouping and/or direct or extended application of t
30、est results. Where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined by the component manufacturer on the basis of conformity with other technical specifications and will not be adversely affected by the assembly process, these characteristics need not be reassessed (see EN 1296
31、6-3) provided that the components performance or method of assessment remain the same. NOTE 2 Products CE marked in accordance with appropriate harmonised European specifications may be presumed to have the performances stated with the CE marking, although this does not replace the responsibility of
32、 the component manufacturer to ensure that the product as a whole is correctly designed (where the manufacturer himself undertakes the design) and its components have the necessary performance values to meet the design. 4.2 Characteristics All characteristics in Clauses 7 and 8 of EN 12966-1:2005 sh
33、all be subject to initial type testing, with the following exception: - release of dangerous substances may be assessed indirectly by controlling the content of the substance concerned. EN 12966-2:2005 (E) 6 4.3 Use of historical data Tests previously performed on the same test module in accordance
34、with the provisions of this standard (same characteristic(s), test method, sampling procedure, system of attestation of conformity, etc.) may be taken into account. 4.4 Deemed to satisfy provisions and use of reference tabulated data In those cases where conformity with this standard is based on dee
35、med to satisfy provisions or tabulated values, type testing shall be limited to the verification of whether the test module meets the requirements to use those values, classes or levels, unless better values, classes or levels are being claimed. 4.5 Treatment of calculated values and design In those
36、 cases where conformity with this standard is based on calculations, type testing will be limited to the verification of the calculations made and that the resulting products correspond to the descriptions/assumptions made in the design and/or calculations. In some cases, the manufacturer may produc
37、e products in accordance 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 on the fact that the products conform to with the assumptions of the design and/or calculations. 4.6 Technical documentation
38、 Technical documentation, the characteristics of the VMS and test results shall be kept for 10 years or the period of warranty, which ever is the greater. 5 Variable Message Signs 5.1 Test module The test module is as defined in 9.1 of EN 12966-1:2005. In the case of verification by calculation, of
39、some characteristics (e.g. deflection), the manufacturer shall also provide relevant drawings, calculations and the technical specifications. This module shall be retained for at least ten years. 5.2 Identification Each module submitted to ITT shall bear a label with at least the information specifi
40、ed in Table 1. Table 1 - Identification label Manufacturer / Site of manufacturer Manufacturing date Relevant classes according to EN 12966-1 ID-number Related technical documentation EN 12966-2:2005 (E) 7 The related technical documentation shall illustrate the product for which the test module is
41、a replacement, and its characteristics. Each test module submitted to ITT shall be supplied with at least the information as detailed in Annex A (normative). 5.3 Specific requirements The specific requirements shall be in compliance with EN 12966-1. The characteristics of the test module shall be te
42、sted as specified below: - either in column 1 of Table 2 to the requirements of column 2 in Table 2 - or in column 1 of Table 3 to the requirements of column 2 in Table 3 If required, calculations shall be verified. The manufacturer shall declare the class or classes to be verified. EN 12966-2:2005
