Foreword
This document (prEN 1790:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 226 “Road equipment”, the
secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1790:1998.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EC Directive(s).
For relationship with the Construction Product Directive (89/106/EEC), see informative Annex ZA, which is an
integral part of this document.
The Annexes A ,B and C of this European Standard are normative.
prEN 1790:2008 (E)
Introduction
A particular category of road marking materials, used for horizontal signalization, are preformed, i.e. manufactured
products in sheet form, ready for use on the road. They can be applied by means of adhesives, pressure or heat,
with or without use of a primer. Preformed road marking materials can be linear, in pieces of a certain length or in
rolls. They can also be cut out in the form of symbols or signs or parts of them, making it possible to assemble
them on the road to achieve the desired shape.
Most preformed road markings are white or yellow, but in special cases other colours are used.
Preformed road marking materials can be designed for use as permanent or temporary road markings. When they
are used for temporary road markings, and have to be removed afterwards, the specific property of "removability"
can be required.
prEN 1790:2008 (E)
1 Scope
This standard specifies both identification and laboratory requirements for the specific characteristics of new
preformed road marking materials intended for permanent and temporary use. It includes annexes for test
methods. It is not necessary, unless required, to perform all the tests described.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate place in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this standard the following terms and definitions applies:
For the scope of this standard, 2 families of “preformed markings” shall be considered :
Family 1 : Fully finished road marking materials which do not change significantly their properties during
application. So they do not require drop-on materials during application.
These materials are covered by “Definitions : 3.1.1, 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 A”
Family 2 : Preformed materials that leave the production plant as semi finished products and still require the
addition of drop on materials. These materials shall follow the standard EN 1871 where indicated.
These materials are covered by “ Definitions : 3.1.3B”
3.1
preformed road marking
a factory produced road marking system (or product), in sheet or roll form, capable of being applied to the substrate
with adhesive, primer, pressure, heat or a combination of them.
NOTE Type II road markings are road markings with special properties meant to enhance the retroreflection in wet or rainy
conditions, type I road markings do not necessarily have such special properties.
prEN 1790:2008 (E)
3.1.1
tape
a preformed multilayer-shaped road marking, capable of adapting itself to the texture of the substrate, which may
be precoated with pressure-sensitive adhesive, capable of being stuck to the substrate without heating the
material. Photometric, colorimetric and skid resistance characteristics are not significantly modified during
application.
3.1.2
preformed cold plastic road marking
a preformed road marking made of cold plastic marking material as defined in EN 1871, applied to the substrate by
means of an adhesive. Photometric, colorimetric and skid resistance characteristics are not significantly modified
during application.
3.1.3
preformed thermoplastic road marking
a preformed road marking made of thermoplastic marking material as defined in EN 1871, applied to the substrate
by heating the material at melting temperature. Preformed thermoplastic road markings are classified as:
• A “pre-beaded” thermoplastic road markings (retroreflective and/or anti-skid materials applied during
manufacturing) (Belonging to “Family 1” in this standard)
• B thermoplastic road markings that require a post application of the drop-on material to form a final
assembly (Belonging to “Family 2” in this standard)
.
3.2
removable preformed road marking
a preformed road marking capable of being removed, intact or in large pieces, without leaving permanent marks
that could confuse the road user during different weather conditions.
3.3
adhesive
a substance used to bond the preformed road marking to the substrate. The application of this substance may
require heating.
NOTE Additional materials to those described in 3.1 to 3.3 can include, if recommended by the manufacturer, primers
which are liquid products which may contain solids and liquid additives suspended in an organic solvent or in water. The solids
comprise inorganic and/or organic fillers, pigments and additives. The content of volatile organic solvents is not limited.
Primers are used to precoat road surfaces before the road marking system is applied. They improve the adhesion of the road
marking and protect against disintegration, discolouring etc. caused by incompatible compounds in the road surface.
4 Sampling
Samples representative of each component of the material shall be taken from storage in accordance with
EN 13459.
Smaller representative samples, of sufficient quantity to carry out all the tests required, shall be taken from the
larger samples.
4.1 Preparation of samples for lab testing
- Family 1 shall be sampled according EN 13459 for preformed road markings.
For preformed materials cut in symbols, legends or other special shapes, where lengths of at least 1 m cannot be
sampled, an equivalent area of at least 0,75 m², with a minimum width of 0,15 m and a length suitable for the tests
mentioned in 5.2 shall be sampled.
- Family 2 samples taken shall be taken according EN 13459 “Thermoplastic Materials”.
- The sample shall include relevant quantities of primer and/or adhesive, as necessary to allow for the samples to
be made in the laboratory in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
prEN 1790:2008 (E)
- The laboratory shall manufacture three samples on aluminium plates at least 3 mm thick and free from
contaminants. Linear samples shall be of 1 m x 0,15 m; other samples shall approximate as closely as possible to
these dimensions. The application shall be done in accordance with the instructions given by the manufacturer.
-The samples used for the skid resistance testing shall not be used for further testing.
5 Requirements
5.1 General
Only for Family 1 : The requirements defined in 5.2 to 5.7 are valid for testing in the laboratory (performance
of the product prior to application) of all types of white and yellow preformed materials, unless stated
otherwise in the text.
Only for Family 2 : the requirements given in clause 4.2 1(Thermoplastics – Tests before heat stability) of EN 1871
shall apply.
5.2 Luminance under diffuse illumination (Qd)
The performance of preformed materials in daylight or road lighting conditions shall be in accordance with
EN 1436.
5.3 Reflection in car headlight illumination
Measured on samples in the laboratory, in accordance with EN 1436, the requirements for preformed materials
shall be as given in table 1.
