This document (CEN/TS 1317-9:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 226 “Road
equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document partially supersedes ENV 1317-4:2001.
This document, fully dedicated to removable barrier sections (RBS) will partly supersede
ENV 1317-4:2001 in which RBS are addressed only in subclause 6.2, in which they are treated as special
transitions for lengths up to 40 m, and safety barriers for higher lengths.
In comparison with ENV 1317-4, the following technical modifications have been made:
— emergency passage: considered in 3.7,
— deformation of the RBS (5.4): specification of Dynamic Deflection, Working Width and System
intrusion. Reporting of completely detached parts,
— connection force (5.5): reporting of the longitudinal forces acting under impact on the connections
with the two barriers,
— impact points (6.3): different definition of the location and of the number of impact points,
— length of test installation (8): minimum length of the connected barriers,
— modular RBS of different length (9): reduced test matrix for products derived from a parent RBS, by
assembling a different number of the same modules.
This document is read in conjunction with EN 1317-1:2010 and EN 1317-2:2010 and
EN 1317-5:2007+A2:2012 and CEN/TR 1317-10.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,

Introduction
In order to improve safety, the design of roads might require the installation of road safety barriers.
Provisions are sometimes necessary for sections of barrier that can be temporarily opened whilst
maintaining the capacity to contain errant vehicles in the closed configuration.
This document partially replaces the ENV 1317-4:2001 regarding the assessment of performance and
test methods for Removable Barrier Sections. In the afore-mentioned document, these Removable Barrier
Sections were considered to be special transitions and were assessed as such.
The performance of any required transition elements or assemblies that connect the removable barrier
section to a standard road safety barrier may be assessed according to CEN/TR 1317-10.
1 Scope
This document specifies performance categories and test methods for the assessment of removable
barrier sections.
The transitions between the Removable Barrier Section and the two connected safety barriers are outside
the scope of this document and are assessed using CEN/TR 1317-10
The transitions between the Removable Barrier Section and the two connected safety barriers are outside

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 1317-1:2010, EN1317-2:2010
and the following apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
• IEC Electropedia: available at https://www.electropedia.org/
• ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
removable barrier section
section of barrier, connected at both ends to sections of standard safety barrier, which allows for removal
and reinstallation for temporary openings, mainly used during maintenance of the road or for the passage
of emergency vehicles, and which, in the closed position, offers containment performances
Note 1 to entry: The width of the RBS may be different from the width of the barriers.
Note 2 to entry: Although these products are called “removable” they are nevertheless permanent products.
“Removable” indicates only that they can be opened.
Note 3 to entry: RBS shorter than or equal to 4,0 m should be considered as barriers interruptions.
Note 4 to entry: Figure 1 shows schematically the location of an RBS between two barriers.

1 Barrier
2 RBS
3 Transitions

3.2
severity test
initial type test carried out with a passenger car, which focuses on measuring the severity of the impact
Note 1 to entry: These are the tests listed in the column labelled ”impact severity level ASI-THIV” in
EN 1317-2:2010, Table 6.
3.3
containment test
initial type test carried out to verify the ability of an RBS to contain an errant vehicle in accordance with
tests labelled “safety barrier” including vehicle parapet deformation
Note 1 to entry: The containment test for each containment category is the test with the heaviest vehicle required
for the containment category in question.
Note 2 to entry: The term “containment category” used in this document has the same meaning as the term
“containment level” used in the series of EN 1317.
3.4
critical impact point (CIP)
impact point identified to reasonably represent the worst case for testing the RBS
Note 1 to entry: Critical Impact Points should be used to perform acceptance tests. They may be different from test
to test
Note 2 to entry An impact point can be critical from several points of view, e. g. containment, deflection or severity.
Hence, critical impact points may be different from test to test
3.5
RBS length
distance between the RBS transitions
3.6
RBS opening length
length of the passage left open to the traffic when the RBS is opened or removed
3.7
emergency passage
section of the RBS designed to be removed or opened as a gate more quickly and / or easily than the main
RBS to facilitate the passage of emergency or maintenance vehicles
3.8
emergency passage opening length
length of the passage left open to the traffic when the emergency passage is opened or removed
3.9
dynamic deflection
maximum dynamic lateral displacement during the test of any point on the traffic face of the RBS
