ASTM D713-23
(Practice)Standard Practice for Conducting Road Service Tests on Fluid Traffic Marking Materials
Standard Practice for Conducting Road Service Tests on Fluid Traffic Marking Materials
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
3.1 This practice is an accelerated evaluation of bead retention, retroreflectivity, daytime color, night time color, and wear characteristics of fluid traffic marking materials. It is used to determine the useful life of such markings in the field. The same procedures are applicable to evaluating longitudinal lines to determine service life.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the determination of the relative service life of fluid traffic marking materials such as paint, thermoplastic, epoxy, and polyester products under actual road conditions using transverse test lines. Materials under test are applied under prescribed conditions and periodic observations are made using prescribed performance criteria.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

4. Type and Location of Pavement for Tests
4.1 Select sections where traffic is moderate and free-rolling with no grades, curves, intersections, or access points near enough
to cause excessive braking or turning movements, where wear is uniform with full exposure to the sun throughout daylight hours,
and there is good drainage. Select surfaces that are representative of the pavements upon which the fluid traffic marking material
will be used in practice. Such surfaces include portland cement concrete, sheet asphalt, bituminous concrete, rock asphalt, and
bituminous surface treatment.
5. Conditions at Time of Application
5.1 Clean the test area thoroughly of all foreign material. Follow the pavement marking manufacturer’s recommendation for the
application of the pavement marking to be tested. This should include the recommendations for air and pavement temperature,
material temperature, relative humidity, wind chill, and wind speed. Application between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. is recommended.
During application record air and pavement temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity hourly.
