CEN/TS 15209:2008

Tactile paving surface indicators produced from concrete, clay and stone

This document specifies the nominal dimensions for surface profile features and patterns for the surfaces of pedestrian paving units, used to convey information for visually impaired people. It applies to paving units made of concrete, clay and stone.
This document does not specify requirements for visibility (colour, luminance contrast or profile) except where this visibility is provided by the tactile paving surface indicator. It does not specify material characteristics.
NOTE 1   See Introduction for an explanation for the exclusion of luminance contrast requirements.
NOTE 2   A guide to the various applications of tactile surfaces in a number of European countries is given in informative Annex A.

Taktile Bodenindikatoren gefertigt aus Beton, Ton und Stein

Dieses Dokument legt die Nennmaße der Elemente von Oberflächenprofilen und der Oberflächenmuster von vorgefertigten Profilplatten (Straßenplatten) für Fußgängerbereiche fest, die zur Übermittlung von Informationen an sehbehinderte Menschen verwendet werden. Sie gelten für Profilplatten, die aus Beton, Ton und Stein gefertigt sind.
Dieses Dokument legt keine Anforderungen an die Sichtbarkeit (Farbe, Leuchtdichtekontrast oder Umriss) fest, es sei denn, die Sichtbarkeit wird durch den taktilen Bodenindikator sichergestellt. Es werden keine Materialkennwerte festgelegt.
ANMERKUNG 1 Für eine Erläuterung zum Ausschluss von Anforderungen an Leuchtdichtekontraste, siehe Einleitung.
ANMERKUNG 2 Ein Leitfaden zu verschiedenen Arten der Verwendung taktiler Oberflächen in einer Anzahl europäischer Länder ist im informativen Anhang A gegeben.

Surfaces tactiles d'indication au sol en béton, terre cuite et pierre naturelle

Le présent document spécifie les dimensions nominales des reliefs de surfaces et des modèles de surfaces pour unités de pavage piétonnier utilisées pour transmettre des informations aux malvoyants. Il s’applique aux unité de pavage en béton, terre cuite et pierre naturelle.
Le présent document ne spécifie pas les prescriptions relatives à la visibilité (couleur, contraste de luminance ou profil), sauf lorsque cette visibilité est fournie par la surface tactile d’indication au sol. Il ne spécifie pas les caractéristiques des matériaux.
NOTE 1   Voir dans l’introduction les raisons expliquant l’exclusion des prescriptions relatives au contraste de luminance.
NOTE 2   Un guide sur les différentes applications des surfaces tactiles dans plusieurs pays européens est donné dans l’Annexe informative A.

This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 18 September 2007 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
