Tactile paving surface indicators produced from concrete, clay and stone
This document specifies the method of measurement and acceptance criteria for the dimensions for surface profile features and patterns for the surface of pedestrian paving units, used to convey information for visually impaired people. It applies to paving units made of concrete, clay and stone where the tactile profiles are monolithic with the unit.
The surface profiles are intended to be applied to units manufactured to EN 1338, EN 1339, EN 1341, and EN 1344 which can be square or rectangular as specified by the designer.
It does not specify dimensions of a single tactile paving layout or profile but proposes ranges within which these dimensions should fall. Default dimensions are given in the absence of a national requirement.
This document proposes methods of measurement of profiles, light reflectance and colour but does not specify requirements for these characteristics. These properties will be decided by the designer taking into account the regulations, codes of practice, and guidance in the place of use of the units.
It does not specify material characteristics.
Taktile Bodenindikatoren gefertigt aus Beton, Ton und Stein
Dieses Dokument legt das Messverfahren und die Akzeptanzkriterien für die Maße der Elemente von Oberflächenprofilen und der Oberflächenmuster von Profilplatten für Fußgängerbereiche fest, die zur Übermittlung von Informationen an sehbehinderte Menschen verwendet werden. Es gilt für Profilplatten, die aus Beton, Ton und Stein gefertigt sind und bei denen die taktilen Profile monolithisch mit der Platte verbunden sind.
Die Oberflächenprofile sind für Platten vorgesehen, die nach EN 1338, EN 1339, EN 1341 und EN 1344 gefertigt werden und je nach Vorgabe des Gestalters quadratisch oder rechteckig sein können.
Es werden keine Maße von Layout oder Profil einer einzelnen taktilen Profilplatte festgelegt, sondern es werden Bereiche vorgeschlagen, in denen diese Maße liegen sollten. Beim Fehlen einer nationalen Anforderung werden Standardmaße angegeben.
Dieses Dokument gibt Verfahren zur Messung von Profilen, Lichtreflexionswert und Farbe an, legt aber keine Anforderungen für diese Merkmale fest. Diese Eigenschaften werden vom Gestalter unter Berücksichtigung der am Verwendungsort der Platten geltenden Vorschriften, Regeln der Technik und Leitlinien festgelegt.
Es werden keine Materialkennwerte festgelegt.
Surfaces tactiles d'indication au sol en béton, terre cuite et pierre naturelle
Le présent document spécifie la méthode de mesure et les critères d’acceptation des dimensions des caractéristiques de profil des surfaces des éléments de pavage soumis au trafic piétonnier, utilisés pour transmettre des informations aux personnes ayant une déficience visuelle. Il s’applique également aux éléments de pavage en béton, en terre cuite et en pierre dont les profils tactiles sont monolithiques avec l’élément.
Les profils de surface sont destinés à être appliqués aux éléments fabriqués conformément aux normes EN 1338, EN 1339, EN 1341 et EN 1344, qui peuvent être carrés ou rectangulaires selon les spécifications du concepteur.
Il ne précise pas les dimensions de la configuration ou du profil d’un seul élément de pavage tactile mais propose des plages de valeurs dans lesquelles ces dimensions doivent se situer. Les dimensions par défaut sont données en l’absence de toute exigence nationale.
Le présent document propose des méthodes de mesure des profils, de la réflexion lumineuse et de la couleur mais ne définit pas d’exigences pour ces caractéristiques. Ces propriétés seront décidées par le concepteur en tenant compte des règlements, codes de bonne pratique et recommandations en vigueur sur le lieu d’utilisation des éléments.
Il ne spécifie pas non plus les caractéristiques des matériaux.
Taktilni indikatorji tlakovane površine iz betona, opeke in kamna
Ta dokument določa metodo in kriterije sprejemljivosti za dimenzije površinskih profilov in vzorcev za tlakovane površine za pešce, ki se uporabljajo za prenos informacij slabovidnim osebam. Uporablja za tlakovce iz betona, opeke in kamna, pri katerih so taktilni profili monolitni z enoto.
Ne določa zahtev za profil in dimenzije posameznega taktilnega profila tlakovanja, ampak predlaga obsege, znotraj katerih naj bi bile te dimenzije. Navedene so privzete dimenzije, ki se lahko uporabljajo, če ni nacionalnih zahtev.
Ta dokument predlaga metode merjenja profilov, odbojnosti svetlobe in barv, vendar ne določa zahtev za te značilnosti. O teh lastnostih se bo odločil projektant ob upoštevanju predpisov, kodeksov ravnanja in navodil na mestu uporabe enot.
Ne določa značilnosti materiala.

European foreword
This document (CEN/TS 15209:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 178 “Paving
units and kerbs”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
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 CEN/TS 15209:2008.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
a) Introduction
The introduction has been extended to cover the measurement of light reflectance values (LRVs) of
units to enable designers to implement adequate visual contrast between tactile units and adjacent
surfaces in accordance with standards in the place of use.
This introduction confirms that the given default values should be used where no standards exist.
b) Scope
The scope covers the method and acceptance criteria for the dimensions of the surface and profile
features for tactile paving units. It does not specify requirements for profile and dimensions of a
single tactile paving unit but proposes ranges within which these dimensions should fall. These
properties are decided by the designer taking into account the regulations, codes of practice, and
guidance in the place of use of the units.
c) Definitions
Generally updated to include light reflectance value, visual contrast and designer. Requirements for
tactile paving surface indicators.
Dimensions and tolerances restated. Consolidated layouts and profiles added with ranges and default
values given.
Light reflectance value (LRV) of paving surface indicators. Methods for determining light reflectance
values defined.
d) Annex A
Use of the value specified in place of use replaces guides to the various specifications of tactile
surfaces in a number of European countries.
e) Annex B
Guide to the preferred dimensions for tactile paving surface indicator profiles for use in a number of
European countries deleted and replaced with old Annex C (Measurement of the dimensions of a
single tactile paving unit).
f) Annex C
Measurement of the dimensions of a single tactile paving unit moved to Annex B.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
