This Part 3 of EN 12899 specifies requirements for new delineator posts and for new retroreflectors as separate products or combined together to be used in traffic circulation areas.
It covers performance requirements and test methods.
Colorimetric and retroreflective properties are specified taking into account CIE recommendations.
Structural requirements include performance under static and dynamic loading.
Provision is made for safety in use, including vehicle impact.
To define durability this standard also includes performance levels to be maintained after natural weathering exposure.
No requirements are given for the use of colours, dimensions and tolerances of delineator posts and retroreflectors.

Dieser Teil 3 von EN 12899 legt Anforderungen für Leitpfosten und Rückstrahler (Reflektoren) im Neuzustand fest, die als getrennte Produkte oder als Kombination in Verkehrsbereichen verwendet werden.
Er behandelt Leistungsanforderungen und Prüfverfahren.
Farbmetrische und retroreflektive Eigenschaften sind unter Berücksichtigung der CIE-Empfehlungen festgelegt.
Konstruktionsanforderungen enthalten die Gebrauchstauglichkeit bei statischer und dynamischer Belastung.
Vorschriften bezüglich der Nutzungssicherheit, einschließlich des Anpralls eines Fahrzeuges, sind angegeben.
Zur Definition der Dauerhaftigkeit enthält diese Norm auch die Leistungsklassen, die bei dem Produkt nach der natürlichen Bewitterung immer noch vorhanden sein müssen.

NOTE The delineator post can be equipped with one or more retroreflectors 3.2 ground line notional horizontal line on the delineator post which, when it is installed correctly, is level with the ground (see Figure 1) or with the top of the safety barrier (see Figure 2) on which it is installed NOTE Delineator posts are normally installed in the level part of the verge so as to fulfil their function of indicating the alignment of that part of the highway on which it is safe to drive and/or to indicate the presence of a hazard.

remounted);
D3 delineator posts for ground fixing which are designed to deflect and after the impact test as
described in 7.4.1.3 return to an upright position (spring-back or flexible); D4 delineator posts for fixing to structures (fixed), e.g. bridges, crash barriers and guard rails. 5.2 Types of retroreflector The classification of types of retroreflector shall be: — R1 retroreflective sheeting (material); — R2 plastic corner cube retroreflectors; — R3 biconvex glass retroreflectors. 6 Performance requirements 6.1 General All parts of delineator posts of types D1, D2 and D3 shall present no sharp edges above the ground line. If the materials are suitable for recycling this shall be indicated by the appropriate material code.
