Overview

EN 40-3-2:2013 - Lighting columns: Design and verification - Verification by testing (CEN) specifies the type-test procedure for verifying the structural design of lighting columns made from steel, aluminium, concrete and fibre‑reinforced polymer (FRP) composite. It applies to columns up to a nominal height of 20 m (including brackets) and defines serviceability and structural acceptance criteria, test preparation, loading sequences, reporting and certification. This is a type‑test standard (not quality control testing) and excludes special columns for signs/overhead wires and passive vehicle‑impact behaviour (see EN 12767).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope & materials: Covers steel, aluminium, reinforced/prestressed concrete and FRP composite lighting columns; other materials (wood, cast iron, plastics) are not specifically covered.
  • Test types: Type testing for verification by testing, with a simplified method for steel and aluminium columns. Optional ultimate‑failure testing may also be recorded.
  • Serviceability limits:
    • Vertical deflection of the luminaire connection ≤ 0.025 × bracket projection (w).
    • Horizontal deflection limits referenced to EN 40-3-3 (Table 4).
  • Residual/structural limits after unloading:
    • Steel & aluminium: residual deflection ≤ 10% of test deflection.
    • Concrete: ≤ 20%.
    • FRP composite: ≤ 5%.
  • Minimum ultimate requirement: A minimum ultimate load (factor γu) must be achieved; γu is determined from the ratio of actual to characteristic material strengths and inertias together with the relevant partial safety/test factor.
  • Critical cross‑sections to check: base/fixings, door opening edges, bracket junctions, transitions in diameter/thickness, anti‑rotation devices and other critical positions.
  • Test procedures: Forces applied by dead weights or calibrated load cells (±2% accuracy), staged horizontal loading, measurement of vertical/horizontal deflections, secure mounting and orientation rules.
  • Documentation: Test report and type‑test certificate content specified (Annex A/B).

Practical applications

  • Verifying design compliance for new lighting column types before production.
  • Supporting product certification, tender submissions and technical dossiers.
  • Providing evidence for municipal procurement specifications and safety reviews.
  • Informing R&D and prototype validation in lighting‑column manufacturing.

Die Norm EN 40-3-2:2013 behandelt die Anforderungen zur Verifizierung des Designs von Lichtmasten aus Stahl, Aluminium, Beton und faserverstärkten Polymerverbundstoffen durch Prüfungen. Ihr Anwendungsbereich ist klar umrissen, da sie sich auf Lichtmasten mit einer Nennhöhe (einschließlich aller Halterungen) von maximal 20 Metern konzentriert. Besonders hervorzuheben ist, dass die Norm spezielle Typprüfungen vorsieht, jedoch nicht für Qualitätskontrollzwecke konzipiert ist. Eine der Stärken dieser Norm ist der vereinfachte Prüfungsansatz für Lichtmasten aus Stahl und Aluminium. Die klare Anleitung für die Prüfung dieser Materialien erleichtert es Herstellern und Ingenieuren, die erforderlichen Standards zu erfüllen. Für Lichtmasten aus Beton und faserverstärkten Polymerverbundstoffen werden in den Normen EN 40-4 und EN 40-7 zusätzliche Richtlinien bereitgestellt, was die Konsistenz der Prüfverfahren fördert. Die Norm enthält spezifische Leistungsanforderungen hinsichtlich der horizontalen Lasten, die durch Wind entstehen. Dies macht die Norm besonders relevant in Bezug auf die Sicherheit und Haltbarkeit der Lichtmasten unter verschiedenen Umweltbedingungen. Es muss jedoch beachtet werden, dass Aspekte der passiven Sicherheit und das Verhalten von Lichtmasten bei einem Fahrzeugaufprall nicht behandelt werden. Dies markiert einen klaren Verantwortungsbereich, da solche Lichtmasten zusätzliche Anforderungen gemäß EN 12767 erfüllen müssen. Es ist auch wichtig zu erwähnen, dass Materialien wie Holz, Kunststoff und Gusseisen nicht in diesem Standard behandelt werden. Dies könnte eine Einschränkung darstellen für Hersteller, die solche Alternativen in Betracht ziehen, hebt aber gleichzeitig die spezialisierte Anwendung der Norm für die häufigsten Materialien hervor. Insgesamt bietet die EN 40-3-2:2013 eine fundierte Grundlage für die Design- und Verifizierungsprozesse von Lichtmasten in Europa und ist aufgrund ihrer klaren Anforderungen und spezifischen Prüfmethoden von hoher Relevanz für die laufende Entwicklung sicherer und effizienter Lichtmasten.

La norme EN 40-3-2:2013 fournit un cadre essentiel pour la vérification des conceptions de colonnes lumineuses en acier, aluminium, béton et composites en polymère renforcé de fibres, à travers des tests spécifiques. Son champ d'application est précisé, n'incluant pas les tests destinés à des fins de contrôle de qualité, ce qui l'oriente principalement vers des tests de type. L'une des forces de cette norme réside dans sa méthodologie simplifiée pour tester les colonnes lumineuses en acier et en aluminium, ce qui la rend accessible et facilement applicable par les concepteurs et fabricants. Les spécifications allant jusqu'à une hauteur nominale de 20 mètres garantissent que des solutions pratiques et sécurisées sont mises à disposition pour la plupart des applications urbaines. Cependant, la norme ne couvre pas les conceptions structurelles spéciales nécessaires à l'attache de panneaux ou de câbles aériens, ce qui peut être une limitation pour certains projets. De plus, elle n'aborde pas les exigences pour les colonnes de matériaux alternatifs tels que le bois ou la fonte, ce qui peut restreindre son utilisation dans des environnements divers. La mention des exigences de performance pour les charges horizontales dues au vent souligne l'importance accordée à la résistance structurelle, bien que la norme ne traite pas de la sécurité passive ou du comportement en cas d'impact d'un véhicule, ce qui pourrait nécessiter des référentiels complémentaires comme l'indique la norme EN 12767. Ainsi, la norme EN 40-3-2:2013 s'avère pertinente pour les professionnels de l'éclairage qui cherchent à garantir la sécurité et la fiabilité des colonnes lumineuses en métal et en composite, tout en reconnaissant les domaines qui nécessitent une attention particulière ou des normes additionnelles.

The EN 40-3-2:2013 standard is a pivotal document in the realm of lighting column design and verification. Its primary scope focuses on the verification of the design of lighting columns constructed from steel, aluminium, concrete, and fibre reinforced polymer composites through rigorous testing methodologies. This specification delineates the type tests necessary for establishing the integrity of lighting columns, which are critical for ensuring safe and reliable outdoor lighting infrastructures. A significant strength of this standard is its emphasis on testing for specific materials, particularly steel and aluminium, through a simplified method that enhances accessibility for manufacturers and engineers. This structured approach not only facilitates compliance with safety norms but also streamlines the testing process, making it more efficient and less resource-intensive. By providing guidelines for different materials, the EN 40-3-2:2013 standard ensures that various types of lighting columns, whether constructed from traditional or newer composite materials, can meet consistent performance expectations. The European Standard also specifies vertical heights for lighting columns, allowing for a clear understanding of its applicable range, which is limited to those not exceeding 20 m in nominal height. This particular focus is important for urban planners and designers, as it clarifies the context in which the standard can be applied effectively. However, it is noteworthy that this standard does not cover the testing requirements for non-traditional materials, such as wood, plastic, or cast iron, which might be used in certain contexts. This limitation underscores the necessity for additional standards to address other materials, ensuring that the entire range of lighting columns can be assessed for safety and efficacy. The inclusion of performance requirements for horizontal loads induced by wind serves as a critical aspect of the design verification, although it is acknowledged that passive safety measures and vehicle impact resilience are beyond the scope of this standard. This focus on wind loads ensures that the lighting columns can withstand environmental stresses, which is particularly relevant for areas prone to adverse weather conditions. Overall, the EN 40-3-2:2013 standard is a comprehensive document that is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of lighting columns. It addresses vital aspects of design verification through testing, making it relevant for industry practitioners who are involved in the design, manufacture, and maintenance of lighting infrastructure. Its structured approach to different materials and heights presents a robust framework for enhancing the performance standards of lighting columns within the urban landscape.

SIST EN 40-3-2:2013は、鋼、アルミニウム、コンクリート、繊維強化ポリマー複合材料で作られた照明柱の設計の検証をテストによって行うための要求事項を定めた欧州標準です。この標準の適用範囲は、20メートルを超えない名目高さの照明柱に限られており、標識やオーバーヘッドワイヤーの取り付けを考慮した特別な構造設計は含まれていません。 この標準は、鋼及びアルミニウム製照明柱のテストに対して簡素化された方法を提供しており、具体的にはEN 40-4やEN 40-7を参照することによりコンクリートや繊維強化ポリマー複合材料の照明柱のテストに関する情報も得ることができます。特に、照明柱の水平荷重の性能要件が盛り込まれているため、風による影響に対する評価が可能である点は強みといえます。 ただし、木材、プラスチック、鋳鉄など、コンクリート、鋼、アルミニウム、繊維強化ポリマー複合材料以外の材料で作られた照明柱に関する要求事項は、この欧州標準では特に扱われていません。また、照明柱の受動的安全性や車両衝突時の挙動に関しても言及されていないため、これらは別途EN 12767での対応が必要です。 全体的に、SIST EN 40-3-2:2013は、照明柱の設計と検証において具体的なテスト手順を示す貴重な基準となっており、その適用範囲と強みは、照明インフラの安全性と信頼性を確保する上で非常に重要です。特に、照明柱の風荷重に対する性能要件への対処は、現代の都市環境において必要不可欠な要素です。

EN 40-3-2:2013 표준은 조명 기둥의 설계 및 검증을 위한 중요한 요구 사항을 규정하고 있습니다. 이 표준의 적용 범위는 철강, 알루미늄, 콘크리트 및 섬유 강화 폴리머 복합재로 제작된 조명 기둥의 설계를 시험을 통해 검증하는 것으로, 20m를 초과하지 않는 모든 조명 기둥에 적합합니다. 이는 조명 기둥의 구조적 안전성과 신뢰성을 보장하는 데 필수적입니다. 이 표준의 강점 중 하나는 스틸 및 알루미늄 조명 기둥에 대한 간소화된 시험 방법을 제공한다는 점입니다. 이는 사용자와 제조업체가 보다 쉽게 조명 기둥의 성능을 평가할 수 있도록 돕습니다. 또한, 이 표준은 조명 기둥의 수직 하중뿐만 아니라 바람에 의한 수평 하중에 대한 성능 요구 사항도 포함하고 있습니다. 이는 기둥이 극한의 환경에서도 충분히 견딜 수 있도록 설계되었음을 보장합니다. 반면, 특정 구조 설계나 기타 재료(예: 목재, 플라스틱, 주철)로 제작된 조명 기둥에 대한 요구 사항은 이 표준에서 구체적으로 다루어지지 않는 점이 아쉽습니다. 이러한 내용은 추가적인 규정이 필요할 수 있음을 시사합니다. 또한, 조명 기둥이 차량의 충돌을 받을 경우의 안전성이나 행동에 대한 요구 사항은 EN 12767과 같은 다른 표준에 의존하게 됩니다. 결론적으로, SIST EN 40-3-2:2013 표준은 조명 기둥의 설계와 검증에 있어 중요한 기준을 제공하며, 특히 스틸 및 알루미늄 기둥의 시험 방법을 간소화하여 접근성을 높이고 있습니다. 그러나 다른 재료에 대한 요구 사항을 고려할 필요가 있으며, 이는 향후 표준 개정의 여지를 남깁니다. 이 표준은 현대 조명 기둥의 개발과 설계에서 매우 중요한 역할을 합니다.
