3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
testing laboratory
competent laboratory, which measures, examines, tests, calibrates or otherwise determines the characteristics or
performance of materials or products within the scope of this document. A laboratory accredited by a signatory of
EA (European co-operation for accreditation) or the appropriate statutory instrument, within the scope of this
document, in the territory where the test was executed may be presumed to be competent
3.2
working life
period of time during which the performance of a product will be maintained at a level that enables the product to
fulfil the requirements of this document (i.e. the essential characteristics of a product to meet or exceed minimum
acceptable values, without incurring major costs for repair or replacement). The working life of a product depends
upon its inherent durability and normal maintenance
NOTE A clear distinction should be made between the assumed economically reasonable working life for a product,
which underlies the assessment of durability in technical specifications, and the actual working life of a product in a works.
The latter depends on many factors beyond the control of the producer, such as design, location of use (exposure),
installation, use and maintenance. The assumed working life can thus not be interpreted as being a guarantee given by
the producer.
3.3
durability
ability of a product to maintain its required performance over time, under the influence of foreseeable actions.
Subject to normal maintenance, a product should enable properly designed and executed works to fulfil specified
requirements for an economically reasonable working life of the product

All characteristics in 4.1 shall be subject to initial type testing. Release of dangerous substances may be
assessed indirectly by controlling the content of the substance concerned.
6.2.1.7 Use of existing impact test reports (historical data)
In order to facilitate the use of existing road restraint systems which have been tested in accordance with
EN 1317 before the availability of harmonized European Standards and to avoid unnecessary duplication of cost
and possible delays, which could result in lower safety for users, existing systems may be accepted as meeting
regulatory requirements without new impact tests by the use of historic data under the following conditions:
a) road restraint system shall have been assessed by a testing laboratory in accordance with existing or a
former version of EN 1317-1, EN 1317-2 + EN 1317-2/A1, EN 1317-3 or ENV 1317-4 or a prEN 1317
standard, and the test results and possible additional information show that the road restraint system
conforms to the requirements of this document;
b) provisions of this clause shall be invoked within 3 years after the end of the co existence period.
6.2.1.8 Shared ITT results
An individual manufacturer may use the ITT results obtained by another party, for example carried out by industry
or a designer, on a product that he considers to be the same, provided that the following conditions are fulfilled:
a) manufacturer is able to demonstrate that the product is identical (e.g. has the same dimensions, the
same raw materials and the same components) with the one that has been subjected to ITT;
b) party who has performed the test has agreed to give the results and has provided the report of the test
to the manufacturer who will use the test result for his own ITT.
c) manufacturer, who uses the ITT results obtained by someone else to demonstrate his own declaration
of conformity, remains responsible for the product being in compliance with all the requirements of this
1
document, including both the design and the manufacture of the product.
NOTE This does not mean a “shared ITT”. An ITT concerns the evaluation of a specific product made by a given
manufacturer. In the declaration of conformity established by the manufacturer, which is a document with legal status, the
product is identified and the name of the manufacturer is given. Therefore, ITT cannot be shared, only results of testing.
1
For specific products (e.g. for design using Eurocodes) special provisions may apply.
