European foreword
This document (EN 12767:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 226 “Road
Equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text
or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2020, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn
at the latest by February 2020.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 12767:2007.
The significant technical changes incorporated in this revision are:
— incorporation of the Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of
9 March 2011 laying down harmonized conditions for the marketing of construction products and
repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC terminology;
— introduction of a push-pull test to enable a comparison to be made between the backfills used in the
test and those on-site;
— harmonization of the boundary values for occupant safety (ASI and THIV) independent of the energy
absorption class;
— replacement of the occupant safety class by an alphanumeric character instead of a number to make
a clear distinction with the old (EN 12767:2007) approach. Now, NE-C, LE-C and HE-C have the same
occupant safety. The best occupant safety is achieved for A;
— introduction of collapse modes to classify if test items become detached or do not become detached;
— introduction of direction classes to take into account any sensitiveness to impact angle;
— improved test description, include installation manual and translation of roof deformation into a
measurable value, to reduce the influence of the vehicle structure on the test results;
— introduction of an extra test at 50 km/h for cases where the test-item is not activated at low speed.
An explanation of the definition of “activated” is also given;
— better rules for the determination of families (product families) based on the tested limit(s);
— introduction of a risk assessment approach, in line with the EN 1317-1:2010, for assessing changes
of a version, and the use of (for example) virtual testing in this;
— possibility to declare, under certain conditions, intermediate speed classes.
Most of the comments collected from all CEN members to the previous version of this norm are
implemented or solved. The definition and use of newer technologies has to be developed before
introduction into the standard.
Some added changes mentioned above are expressed in a new performance classification for the product.
This results in a longer description of the overall passive safety performance, but at the end, it gives a
clearer indication of product performance. For example, an old performance classification like “100, HE,
3” could be translated to “100-HE-C-S-SE-MD-1”. In this example, the last 4 sub-indications stands for
backfill type (S), collapse mode (SE), direction class (MD) and risk of roof indentation.
Translation of older tests to this new standard is possible when sufficient information is available in the
reports, photographs and videos of the tests.
The previous version of EN 12767 included test acceptance criteria – this is now, for convenience,
repeated in Annex A.
When this standard is used as a supporting standard for a product standard under CPR (e.g. sign
supports) relevant clauses of Annexes A, G and H are supposed to be copied inside the product standard,
and the product standard refers to the rest of this standard.
When this standard is used for testing constructions with no product standard the specifying authority is
supposed to refer to whole EN 12767, including Annexes A, G and H.
Annexes A, B, D, E, G, H, I, K, L, M of this document are normative, Annexes C, F, J are informative.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North
Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United
Kingdom.
Introduction
The severity of accidents for the occupant(s) of a vehicle is affected (in part) by the performance of the
support structures for items of road equipment under impact. Based on safety considerations, support
structures can be designed to behave in co
