multi-Component-High Solid paints (MCHS)
multi-component-High Solid paints consist of two or more components. The cohesive film is formed after mixing all
components by the evaporation of the solvent and a chemical reaction. The Application is possible within the pot-
life-time.
3.1.2
waterborne Paints
a liquid product containing suspended solids in an aqueous liquid. It can be supplied in single or multicomponent
systems. When applied it produces a cohesive film by the process of aqueous liquid evaporation and /or chemical
process
3.1.2.1
dispersions
dispersions are liquid or viscous products containing solids and liquid additives dispersed in an aqueous liquid. The
aqueous liquid consists of the binder polymers and mainly of water. The solids comprise inorganic and/or organic
fillers, pigments and additives. The content of volatile organic solvents is limited to 2 % weight by weight, the total
amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) is limited to 3 % weight by weight.
3.1.2.2

the volatile component is mainly water. The content of organic solvents is limited to 2 % weight by weight, the total
amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) is limited to 3 % weight by weight.
The solid content is lower than 80 % weight by weight. The cohesive film of a Dispersion paint is produced by the
process of water evaporation.
3.1.2.3
high solid dispersions:
the volatile component of a High solid dispersion is mainly water with a content lower than 20 % weight by weight,
the content of solids is equal to or higher than 80 % weight by weight. The content of organic solvents is limited to 2
% weight by weight, the total amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) is limited to 3 % weight by weight. The
cohesive film of a High-Solid dispersion is produced by the process of water evaporation and a chemical cross-
linking reaction.
3.2
cold plastics
cold plastics are viscous products supplied in two or multi-component forms (at least one main component and a
hardener system). They are free from solvents. The cohesive film is formed after mixing of all components only by
a chemical reaction. Following the reaction the liquid becomes a solid.
3.2.1
cold-Setting Reactive Materials (cold plastics)
cold plastics consist of a minimum of two components. One component contains a hardener and another
component the accelerator. Depending on the system the components are mixed in various ratios. The application
is only possible within the pot-life-time.

energy Induced Curing Materials (EICM)
ernergy induced curing materials produce a cohesive film under the influence of energy
(e.c. heat, UV-radiation).
3.3

The compliance of road marking materials with the requirements of this document and with the stated values shall
be demonstrated by:
- initial type testing;
- factory production control;

oSIST prEN 1871:2009
prEN 1871:2008 (E)
5.2 Type testing
5.2.1 Initial type testing (I.T.T.)
Initial type testing shall be carried out in accordance with Annex M.
A base road marking material may be used in a number of different road marking assemblies – see Annex M.
If the ITT is the responsibility of a certification body,
- the certification body is responsible for the sampling for the initial type test of the product;
- the certification body checks if the initial type test is carried out according to the provisions of this
standard;
- Tests included in Annex M previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard
(same product, same characteristic(s), test method, sampling procedure, system of attestations of
conformity, etc.) can be taken into account if the certification body (decision of the certification body)
can check that
o the laboratory, which carried out the initial type test of the product has the necessary
competence and independence;
o the samples which were tested are representative for the product for which the ITT is required;
o the tests were carried out according to the provisions of this product standard.
5.2.2 Further type testing
Whenever a change occurs in the base materials, or in the production process, or to an assembly, which would
change significantly one or more of the characteristics, the type testing shall be repeated for the appropriate
characteristic(s). If the ITT is the responsibility of a certification body, the manufacturer shall declare such changes
and the certification body shall decide for which characteristic(s) the ITT shall be repeated.
5.2.3 Sampling, testing and compliance criteria
Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with EN 13459.
The results of all type tests (initial and further testing) shall be recorded and held by the manufacturer and be
available for inspection.
5.3 Factory production control (FPC)
The FPC shall be carried out in accordance with EN 13212.
5.4 Inspection of the factory production control
When required, inspection of the factory and of the factory production control shall be made on the provisions
contained in EN 13212 and this clause.
5.4.1 Initial inspection of the factory and the factory production control
The initial inspection shall:
- Check that the producer’s FPC system complies with all the requirements of the product standard.
- Visit the production unit, review the resources and check the practical application of the system of
Factory Production Control.
The certification body shall verify whether all requirements of EN 13212 have been dealt with appropriately in the
production control manual and related documents. If this is not the case the certification body will inform the
producer of the non-compliances found and request corrective action, including an updated version of the
documents if necessary.
During the initial inspection the certification body will investigate whether the documented system is implemented in
accordance with the requirements of EN 13212. Items found not to be in compliance are classified as either
observations, remarks or non-conformities. These will all be reported to the producer at the end of the initial
inspection.
The initial type testing (ITT) is not part of the FPC, but has to be carried out in accordance with the test methods
and systems of attestation of conformity described in this standard.

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 1871:2009
prEN 1871:2008 (E)
Test results from the FPC shall comply with the requirements of the appropriate part of EN 13212 and the product
specification (manufacturer’s stated values as referred to in clause ZA.1 of Annex ZA of the relevant product
standard). The manufacturer’s stated values and a procedure for the evaluation of the test results shall therefore be
part of the FPC-system.
Results of production control tests of the road marking materials relating to this product standard shall be available
at the time of the initial inspection.
Even if one FPC system is used for different production units on one or different sites, all means of production on
all sites have to be visited.
In case of an FPC system conforming with the requirements of EN-ISO 9001, it is the task of the certification body
to verify that the quality system meets the requirements of this product standard and EN 13212, and to verify the
effective implementation. If the result of those verifications is positive, the FPC system shall be considered to
satisfy the above requirements.
5.4.2 Continual surveillance of the factory and the factory production control
The Factory Production Control system shall be subject to surveillance as set out below.
An audit of the Factory Production Control system, including an inspection of the production unit, at a minimum
frequency of at least once per year.
