3.1
active road stud
horizontal guiding device that is fixed to the surface of a road and emits light in order to warn, guide or
inform road users
Note 1 to entry: An active road stud provides a light output by itself, while a retroreflective road stud provides
retroreflected light when illuminated by the headlamps of a vehicle. Retroreflective road studs are covered by
EN 1463-1:2009.
Note 2 to entry: An active road stud can be fitted with a retroreflector so that it provides a light output both
directly and by retroreflection.
Note 3 to entry: An active road stud can be self-contained in the sense that it incorporates all light generation
means and does not rely on an external source of light or power. Light generation means include one or more light
sources, typically LED’s, and a power supply, typically a battery that is charged by a solar panel integrated in the
upper surface of the road stud.

Note 4 to entry: As opposed to a self-contained active road stud, an active road stud can also be hardwired in the
sense that it receives light through fibre optics or power through a wire. Means to feed light or power are not
considered in this document.
Note 5 to entry: An active road stud can have one or more luminous faces intended for emitting light in one or
more traffic directions.
Note 6 to entry: An active road stud can emit light that appears constant to the human eye or be flashing at a low
frequency. The emitted light can be any of the colours white, yellow/amber, red, green or blue.
Note 7 to entry: As with a retroreflective road stud, an active road stud can be fixed to a road surface by being
bonded to, entered within or embedded within the road surface. Additionally, an active road stud can be depressible
or non-depressible.

5.2 Test of Chromaticity coordinates (x,y) (for day and night-time visibility)
The set up for test of chromaticity of the emitted light is done in the same way as for the test of the light
output (luminous intensity cd) as described in 5.1 but using a colourimeter instead of a photometer.
The chromaticity coordinates are obtained by this procedure:
a) the reference direction is set;
b) the chromaticity coordinates are recorded;
An initial warm up time in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions shall be allowed in order to
obtain stable measurements
5.3 Test of light output flashing frequency
Flashing frequency shall be measured using a suitable timing device to determine the total number of
complete on/off cycles in one minute.
5.4 Ingress protection (IP code)
Declarations of protection against dust and water shall be tested in accordance with EN 60529:1991,
Clause 13 and 14.
5.5 Test of durability on road trials
The durability of the following characteristics is tested on road trials:
— Luminance (for day and night-time visibility) expressed as Light output (cd) tested in accordance
with 5.1. Only reference direction is used for testing.
— Chromaticity coordinates (x,y), for night-time visibility tested in accordance with 5.2.
— Light output flashing frequency (Hz) tested in accordance with 5.3.
This test needs to involve only 10 active road studs emitting white light, and only measurement of the
light output and the chromaticity coordinates in reference direction.
Application of active road studs on test site shall be in accordance with the instructions of the
manufacturer. During this test, the active road studs need not have any light output.
NOTE 1 For example, in case of hard-wired active road studs it is not necessary to power and operate the road
studs during the road trial.
The volume of traffic shall be such as to ensure that at least three active road studs are exposed to
minimum 200 000 wheel passages.
A road trial shall include at least one full climatic cycle of one year.
NOTE 2 Special requirements (e.g. snow clearance, studded tyres) considered indispensable for some countries
or special applications, may be taken into account by the participating parties for the selection of the test site and
recorded in the general report for the test site.

6 Assessment and verification of constancy of performance – AVCP
6.1 General
The compliance of active road studs with the requirements of this standard and with the performances
declared by the manufacturer in the DoP shall be demonstrated by:
— determination of the product type;
— factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment.
The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary means to take
responsibility for the conformity of the product with its declared performance(s).
6.2 Type testing
6.2.1 General
All performances related to characteristics included in this standard shall be determined when the
manufacturer intends to declare the respective performances unless the standard gives provisions for
declaring them without performing tests. (e.g. use of previously existing data, CWFT and conventionally
accepted performance).
Assessment previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard, may be taken into
account provided that they were made to the same or a more rigorous test method, under the same AVCP
system on the same product or products of similar design, construction and functionality, such that the
results are applicable to the product in question.
NOTE 1 Same AVCP system means testing by an independent third party, under the responsibility of a notified
product certification body.
For the purposes of assessment, the manufacturer's products may be grouped into families, where it is
considered that the results for one or more characteristics from any one product within the family are
representative for that same characteristics for all products within that same family
NOTE 2 Products may be grouped in different families for different characteristics.
Reference to the assessment method standards should be made to allow the selection of a suitable
representative sample.
In addition, the determination of the product type shall be performed for all characteristics included in
the standard for which the manufacturer declares the performance:
— at the beginning of the production of a new or modified active road stud (unless a member of the
same product range), or
— at the beginning of a new or modified method of production (where this may affect the stated
properties); or
they shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s), whenever a change occurs in the active road
stud design, in the raw material or in the supplier of the components, or in the method of production
(subject to the definition of a family), which would affect significantly one or more of the characteristics.
Where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component
manufacturer, on the basis of assessment methods of other product standards, these characteristics need
not be re-assessed. The specifications of these components shall be documented.

Products bearing regulatory marking in accordance with appropriate harmonized European
specifications may be presumed to have the performances declared in the DoP, although this does not
replace the responsibility on the active road stud manufacturer to ensure that the active road stud as a
whole is correctly manufactured and its component products have the declared performance values.
6.2.2 Test samples, testing and compliance criteria
The number of samples of active road studs to be tested/assessed shall be in accordance with Table 3.
