EN 12899-1:2007

Fixed, vertical road traffic signs - Part 1: Fixed signs

This Part 1 of EN 12899 specifies requirements for complete sign assemblies (including supports), signs (sign plates with sign faces), sign plates (without sign faces) and for other major components (retroreflective sheeting, supports and luminaires).
The main intended use of fixed signs is for the instruction and guidance of road users on public and private land.
Matters not covered by this standard:
a)   sign gantry and cantilever structures;
b)   signs with discontinuous messages, e.g. using light emitting diodes (LED), or fibre optics;
c)   variable message signs;
d)   signs used for temporary purposes;
e)   foundations;
f)   tests for extremely low temperatures.

Ortsfeste, vertikale Straßenverkehrszeichen - Teil 1: Ortsfeste Verkehrszeichen

Dieser Teil 1 von EN 12899 legt die Anforderungen fest an Verkehrszeichenanlagen (einschließlich Aufstellvorrichtungen), Verkehrszeichen (Bildträger mit Signalbildern), Bildträger (ohne Signalbilder) und für andere wesentliche Komponenten (retroreflektierende Folien, Aufstellvorrichtungen und Beleuchtungs¬einrichtungen).
Der wesentliche Einsatzzweck der ortsfesten Verkehrszeichen ist, Benutzer öffentlicher und privater Verkehrswege durch diese zu informieren und zu führen.
Nicht Gegenstand dieser Norm sind:
a)   Schilderbrücken und Kragarme;
b)   Verkehrszeichen mit nicht kontinuierlichen Informationen, die LED-Technologie oder Glasfaseroptik verwenden;
c)   Wechselverkehrszeichen;
d)   temporäre Verkehrszeichen;
e)   Fundamente;
f)   Prüfungen bei extrem niedrigen Temperaturen.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such nationalstandards may be obtained on application to the CEN Management Centre or to any CEN member.This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translationunder the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN Management Centre has the same status as theofficial versions.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.EUROPEAN COMMITTEE FOR STANDARDIZATIONCOMITÉ EUROPÉEN DE NORMALISATIONEUROPÄISCHES KOMITEE FÜR NORMUNGManagement Centre: rue de Stassart, 36

This European Standard has been prepared under a Mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and supports essential requirements of EU Directives.
For relationships with EU Directives, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this standard. This European Standard consists of the following Parts under the general title:
Fixed, vertical road traffic signs — Part 1: (This part) Fixed signs Part 2: Transilluminated traffic bollards (TTB) Part 3: Delineator posts and retroreflectors Part 4: Factory production control Part 5: Initial type testing It is based on performance requirements and test methods published in CEN, CENELEC, CIE (International Commission on Illumination) and ISO documents together with standards of the CEN member organizations. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: 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.

It can also be used by private developers who wish to use signs on their own land similar to those used on public highways. This European Standard:  can be used to implement type approval and certification testing;  derives from performance requirements and test methods published in CEN, CENELEC, CIE and ISO documents together with standards of the CEN member organizations;  does not require the replacement of existing signs;  covers performance requirements and test methods;  defines performance limits and a range of performance classes. Colorimetric and retroreflective properties, as well as the luminance and illuminance, are specified; The retroreflective requirements and tests in respect of materials based on glass bead technology are specified in this standard. The performance of retroreflective materials using microprismatic technology is specified in the relevant ETA which enables CE marking of such material. Wind actions can be specified by the use of either values in this standard or by the methods specified in EN 1991-1-4. Structural requirements for signs complete with sign supports include performance under static and dynamic loading. Provision is made for safety in use, including vehicle impact.
