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.

Foreword
This document (EN 12899-1:2007/FprA1:2012) 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 Unique Acceptance Procedure.
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 EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
The main reason for this amendment is to incorporate in the series of existing standards EN 12899:2007
