Overview

EN 40-7:2002 (CEN) specifies performance requirements for fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite lighting columns intended mainly for road lighting. The standard covers materials, manufacturing and test methods for post-top columns (≤ 20 m) and side-entry/ bracket columns (≤ 18 m). It sets requirements for structural performance (wind loads), durability, impact resistance (passive safety), and conformity assessment to ensure safe, long‑lasting lighting columns.

Key Topics

• Scope & limits
  • Applies to FRP composite columns for road lighting: post-top (≤ 20 m) and side-entry with brackets (≤ 18 m).
• Materials
  • Acceptable constituents include fibrous reinforcement (e.g., E‑glass) and resin systems (e.g., isophthalic polyester); batches must be verified against supplier specifications.
  • Guidance on fillers, UV stabilisers and sealing of cut edges to prevent moisture ingress.
• Design & verification
  • Structural design verified by calculation (prEN 40-3-3) or testing (EN 40-3-2); Annex B gives additional design/verification requirements for FRP columns.
  • Columns must resist specified dead and wind loads (EN 40-3-1).
• Mechanical & surface properties
  • Pigmentation throughout the laminate; smooth surface finish or protective veil/gelcoat to prevent fibre breakout.
  • Characteristic laminate properties determined per Annex C (tensile, flexural, shear methods referenced to ISO standards).
• Impact & safety
  • Vehicle impact/passive safety requirements aligned with EN 12767.
  • Mechanical impact protection test: IK08 rating per EN 50102 using impact pendulum or free-fall hammer; specific acceptance criteria (e.g., max 3 mm indentation at door area).
• Conformity & production control
  • Factory production control, initial type testing (Annex E), sampling rules and acceptance criteria defined to ensure ongoing compliance.
• Jointing, attachments & corrosion
  • Recommendations for composite or equivalent durable fixings; no special corrosion protection required beyond sealed edges (Annex D informative).

Applications and Who Uses It

• Intended users:
  • Lighting column manufacturers, composite fabricators and material suppliers
  • Civil and structural engineers specifying road lighting infrastructure
  • Procurement teams for municipalities and highway authorities
  • Testing laboratories and conformity assessment bodies
• Practical uses:
  • Specifying material selections, production controls and acceptance tests for FRP columns used on roads, streets and highways.
  • Verifying passive safety and impact performance for roadside equipment.
