Lighting columns - Part 3-1: Design and verification - Specification for characteristic loads
This European Standard specifies design loads for lighting columns. It applies to lighting columns of nominal height (including any bracket) not exceeding 20 m. Special structural designs to permit the attachment of signs, overhead wires, etc. are not covered by this European Standard.
The requirements for lighting columns made from materials other than concrete, steel, aluminium or fibre reinforced polymer composite (for example wood, plastic and cast iron) are not specifically covered in this standard. Fibre reinforced polymer composite lighting columns are covered in this document, in conjunction with Annex B of EN 40-7:2002.
This European Standard includes performance requirements for horizontal loads due to wind. Passive safety and the behaviour of a lighting column under the impact of a vehicle are not addressed. Such lighting columns will have additional requirements (see EN 12767).

Drogovi za razsvetljavo - Projektiranje in preverjanje - 3-1. del: Specifikacija za značilne obtežbe
Ta evropski standard določa projektne obtežbe za drogove za razsvetljavo. Velja za drogove za razsvetljavo nazivne višine (vključno z vsemi nosilci), ki ne presega 20 m. Posebno projektiranje konstrukcij, ki omogoča namestitev znakov, nadzemnih žic itd., ni obravnavano v tem evropskem standardu. V tem standardu niso posebej obravnavane zahteve za drogove za razsvetljavo, ki niso izdelani iz betona, jekla, aluminija ali vlaknatoarmiranega polimernega kompozita (npr. les, plastika in železova litina). Drogovi za razsvetljavo iz vlaknatoarmiranega polimernega kompozita so obravnavani v tem dokumentu v povezavi z dodatkom B standarda EN 40-7:2002. Ta evropski standard vključuje zahteve glede zmogljivosti za vodoravne obtežbe zaradi vetra. Pasivna varnost in učinek, ki ga ima trčenje vozila na drog za razsvetljavo, nista obravnavana. Za takšne drogove za razsvetljavo se bodo uporabljale dodatne zahteve (glej EN 12767).
General Information

Overview
EN 40-3-1:2013 is the CEN European Standard that specifies design and characteristic loads for lighting columns (nominal height including brackets ≤ 20 m). It defines how to determine wind and dead loads for columns made from concrete, steel, aluminium and fibre‑reinforced polymer composite (FRP), and gives a simplified, conservative procedure for wind pressure calculation. The standard does not cover special attachments (signs, overhead wires), materials such as wood or cast iron, nor passive safety/vehicle impact behavior (see EN 12767).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and materials: Applies up to 20 m nominal height; covers concrete, steel, aluminium and FRP (FRP in conjunction with EN 40‑7 Annex B).
- Wind pressure model: Characteristic wind pressure q(z) is computed as
q(z) = δ × β × f × ce(z) × q(10)
where:
- q(10) = reference wind pressure derived from reference wind velocity (Vref) and probability factor Cs,
- δ = factor for column size,
- β = dynamic behaviour factor (function of vibration period T and material),
- f = topography factor,
- ce(z) = exposure coefficient depending on terrain category and height.
- Exposure and terrain: Terrain categories I–IV and tabulated/graphical exposure coefficients ce(z) are provided; default to terrain II if buyer does not specify.
- Shape coefficients: Shape coefficient c for wind loading is provided for circular and regular octagonal cross‑sections; other cross‑sections use EN 1991‑1‑4 or validated test data.
- Forces and moments: Procedures to compute horizontal/vertical forces on shaft, brackets and luminaires, and bending/torsional moments for design verification.
- Dead loads: Include self‑weight, brackets and luminaire weights when calculating forces/moments.
- Luminaire wind coefficients: Recommended to obtain horizontal and vertical coefficients by wind tunnel tests (inclination ±5°).
Practical applications and users
- Structural and civil engineers designing and verifying street lighting columns, pole manufacturers, and procurement/specification teams will use EN 40‑3‑1:2013 to:
- Size and verify columns for wind and gravity loads,
- Select appropriate material-specific design approaches (incl. FRP),
- Establish contract and test requirements for lighting pole suppliers.
- Also relevant to testing laboratories and authorities preparing installation and site‑specific wind assessments.

The article explains that the European Standard EN 40-3-1:2013 sets out the design loads for lighting columns. The standard applies to lighting columns with a maximum height of 20 meters, including any attachments. However, it does not cover special designs that allow for the attachment of signs or overhead wires. Lighting columns made from materials other than concrete, steel, aluminum, or fiber reinforced polymer composite are not specifically addressed in this standard. The standard also includes requirements for horizontal loads caused by wind, but it does not cover the safety aspects of lighting columns in relation to vehicle impacts. Additional requirements for such lighting columns can be found in EN 12767.
