EN 1824:2011 (E) 6 4.4 Road surface conditions and classes Road trials shall be carried out on asphaltic road surfaces of an age of 1 year or more, which are in good condition and not in need of repair for the duration of the road trials and are not damaged by the presence of wheel tracks, fissures, cracks or similar. Highly porous surfaces shall be avoided. NOTE 1 Road trials on cement concrete surfaces do not give repeatable results because of on-going chemical reactions. NOTE 2 Road trials on highly porous surfaces do not give comparable results due to the draining properties. At the commencement of a road trial, a road surface report of the road trial shall be available. The test surface report shall include a general description of the road surface and an account of the texture depth (MTD: mean texture depth), determined in accordance with EN 13036-1. The MTD shall be measured at several locations on the test field. The number of measurements depends on the test field length. Measurements shall be carried out, at least, at three transversal locations and repeated every 30 m on the test field. The transversal measurements locations are in the centre of the carriageway, near the right and left edge line. The averaged mean texture depth is derived from these measurements. The standard deviation shall be less than 0,15 mm. NOTE 3 The averaged texture depth may also be directly determined in accordance with EN ISO 13473-1. Depending to the averaged measured texture depth, the test field roughness is described in term of roughness class according to Table 2.
Table 2 – Test field roughness classes Roughness class Averaged measured texture depth RG1 ≤ 0,60 mm RG2 > 0,60 mm and ≤ 0,90 mm RG3 > 0,90 mm and ≤ 1,20 mm RG4 > 1,20 mm
NOTE 4 The texture depth has an influence on the result of road trials, at least for materials applied in thin layers. 4.5 Roll-over classes The volume of traffic shall be such as to ensure that one or more measurement areas with the desired roll-over class can be selected (see 7.2). At the termination of a road trial, a traffic report for the duration of the road trial should be made available. The traffic report shall include the roll-over classes according to Table 3, determined on the measurement area(s) in accordance with Annex B.

The traffic report should further include the percentage of heavy vehicles together with an indication of the counting method used. A vehicle is considered a heavy vehicle if its maximum gross mass is above 7500 kg. 4.6 Studded tyres classes For road trial sites where studded tyres are used to a significant degree, this shall be indicated on the test report. NOTE From general experience, such traffic conditions can be relevant to the erosion of road markings.
5 Organization of road trials 5.1 Duration A road trial shall include at least one full climatic cycle of one year for materials intended for permanent road marking and up to 6 months for materials intended for temporary road marking. In some cases, test markings may fall below the performance requirements of the road authority. In these cases, it may be necessary for the markings to be removed. 5.2 Transverse and longitudinal application patterns 5.2.1 General Road marking materials shall be applied in patterns of lines either transverse or longitudinal to the road. When a long (more than 40 cm) measurement area is necessary, the transverse pattern cannot be used. When both the transverse and longitudinal patterns are used on the same test site, they shall be used on separate parts of that test site. 5.2.2 Transverse pattern At least three lines shall be applied for each road marking material. The distance between two adjacent lines should be at least 0,35 m and the width at least 0,15 m as shown in Figure 1. The application could be done across one or two lanes.

EN 1824:2011 (E) 10 6 Application of road marking materials 6.1 General In case of longitudinal pattern, the application shall be done in the direction of the traffic. NOTE The test results depend on various factors related to the application of the road marking materials, i.e. application method, quantities applied, weather conditions, etc. 6.2 Periods for application Road marking materials shall be applied when the weather conditions are as defined in 6.3. NOTE The participating parties can agree to include one or more periods for application. One period can, for instance, be for materials intended for use as temporary road markings and another for materials intended for use as permanent road markings. There are practical advantages to having the period(s) as short as possible. For temporary road marking materials, the application period shall be such that the required number of wheel passages is obtained, and the subsequent measurements carried out, prior to or after winter conditions. 6.3 Conditions suitable for application Conditions shall be deemed suitable when: a) the road surface appears to be dry and dew is not being formed; b) the road surface temperature is within limits agreed upon by the participating parties; c) the wind speed is less than the maximum agreed upon by the participating parties. Special road marking materials can be applied in other weather conditions, which shall be noted in the individual test report (see Clause 8). EXAMPLE The road surface temperature is at least 3 °C above the dew point of the air, the road surface temperature is between 10 °C and 50 °C and the maximum wind speed is less than 10 m×s-1. 6.4 Technical specification for application Prior to the commencement of the road trials, the applicant shall submit to the test authority the application instructions of the road marking material. NOTE 1 The application instructions will include preparation methods (such as how to melt a thermoplastic material), what type of application to use (e.g. extrusion of a thermoplastic material), any particular road marking equipment required, the pattern of application (e.g. plain or a certain type of structure), the rate(s) of application (in grams per square metre), what drop-on materials to add, their rate(s) of application and the method to use. Whenever possible the road marking material shall be applied using self-propelled road marking equipment, and drop-on materials shall be applied mechanically. NOTE 2 Most materials, except preformed materials, can be applied using self-propelled road marking equipment; this ensures better repeatability of the application. NOTE 3 The road marking equipment used can either be those put to general commercial use or special road marking equipment. The road marking equipment can be operated by the usual crews or by staff at the test site. If the test authority and the applicant agree to test road marking equipment prior to the application of a road marking material, the rate of application of marking materials and of drop-on materials shall be adjusted and the rate of application applied verified in accordance with Annex C. A road marking equipment shall be SIST EN 1824:2011



EN 1824:2011 (E) 11 rejected if any of three rates of application applied in three successive test runs deviates more than 20 % from the average rate of application. 6.5 Sampling and measurements 6.5.1 Sampling When samples are required for identification or other purposes, each road marking material, all the components of a multiple component material, and drop-on materials shall be taken into account.
NOTE 1 For certification purposes, sampling will be done by test laboratory. NOTE 2 For materials used in more than one application, it is not necessary to sample every application. NOTE 3 The participating parties can agree to include further specifications for sampling, such as quantities to sample. NOTE 4 If diluents are allowed and used for the application, the rate of dilution will be verified sampling materials both from the original container and from the tank. 6.5.2 Measurement of drying time and weather conditions When required by the participating parties, the drying time shall be measured for paints and cold plastics. The drying time shall be determined in accordance with Annex D for every line that contains a measurement area (see 7.3) for further measurements. The drying time shall be reported together with an account of the weather conditions, including the ambient temperature, the road surface temperature, the relative air humidity and the wind speed as measured during application in accordance with Annex E. 6.5.3 Determination of the useful rate(s) of application and the rate(s) of consumption during application During the application of a road marking material, the useful rates of application of the material and of any drop-on or non drop-on material shall be determined in accordance with Annex C. When the rate(s) of consumption of material(s) during application are also required, they should be also determined in accordance with Annex C. NOTE The participating parties can agree to include a criterion for the acceptability of the application of a road marking material. For example, the application is rejected if any of the rates of application from the different lines deviates more than 10 % from the average rate of application, or if the average rate of application deviates more than, for example, 15 % from the rate of application given in the specification for the material. 7 Measurements related to performance 7.1 General Test lines shall only be washed when it is necessary to do so and by agreements between the participating parties. Washing shall be with a soft brush using clear water. The performance shall be then determined once the product is dry. When test lines have been washed, it shall be indicated on the test report. 7.2 Parameters The following parameters are relevant to this document: a) coefficient of retroreflected luminance, RL dry; SIST EN 1824:2011



EN 1824:2011 (E) 12 b) coefficient of retroreflected luminance, RL wet; c) coefficient of retroreflected luminance, RL during rain; d) luminance coefficient in diffuse illumination, Qd; e) colour: luminance factor, β, and x,y chromaticity co-ordinates; f) skid resistance, SRT value; g) removability (only for removable temporary materials); may be measured if required for informative purpose only; h) wear index may be measured if required for informative purpose only. The parameters a) to f) are defined in EN 1436 and shall be measured in accordance with that standard. If required, removability shall be measured in accordance with Annex F. If required, wear index shall be measured in accordance with Annex G. NOTE 1 For road surfaces with texture depth greater than 1,5 mm, the determination of wear index is irrelevant. NOTE 2 The participating parties can agree which parameters to measure on the basis of the intended use of the road marking materials. 7.3 Measurement areas 7.3.1 Roll-over classes One or more measurement areas shall be defined in terms of roll-over in accordance with Table 3 taking into account the periodicity of measurements (see 7.6). 7.3.2 Position 7.3.2.1 Roll-over The roll-overs shall be determined in accordance with Annex B. 7.3.2.2 Transverse pattern When introducing a measurement area, wide column along the road shall be selected (see Figure 1) so that points within the column are expected to have as close to the desired number of wheel passages as possible. The width of the column shall be at least 0,15 m and not exceed 0,4 m.
The measurement area shall consist of at least two lines of the same road marking material. 7.3.2.3 Longitudinal pattern When introducing a measurement area, a 0,15 m wide column along the road shall be selected (see Figure 2) so that points within the column lie within longitudinal lines and have as close to the desired number of wheel passages as possible. The measurement area shall consist of at least 1 m of one line of one road marking material (see Figure 2). SIST EN 1824:2011



EN 1824:2011 (E) 13 7.4 Direction of measurements For transverse pattern, measurements shall be carried out in the direction of the application excepted SRT which shall be determined in the direction of the traffic. For longitudinal pattern, measurements shall be carried out in the direction of the application. 7.5 Number of measurements in the measurement area One measurement shall be conducted for each of a number of measurement points evenly distributed across the measurement area. The result shall be expressed as the average value for the different measurement points. In the transverse pattern, a measurement area consists of at least two parts. The measuring points shall be divided equally between each part. For colour, β, RL (dry, wet, during rain), skid resistance and Qd measurement shall be carried out according to EN 1436. For RL (dry, wet or/and during rain) and Qd use a number of measuring locations to provide a total minimum measured surface area of 400 cm². For colour and luminance factor, use a number of measuring locations to provide a total minimum measured surface area of 25 cm². For skid resistance at least two points shall be selected. For removability it shall be tested for two of the lines on the transverse pattern, and for the first half of a line in the longitudinal pattern in accordance with Annex F. 7.6 Periodicity of measurements The parameters shall be measured as shown in Table 4 (marked ‘+’).

EN 1824:2011 (E) 15 Annex A (normative)
Köppen classification A.1 Generalities The aim of this annex is to determine in which climatic area belongs a test field using the Köppen classification system. The Köppen Climate Classification System is the most widely used for classifying the world's climates. It defines six major climate types based on annual and monthly averages of temperature and precipitation. Each type is designated by a capital letter (A, B, C, D, E and H). Further sub-types, designated by a second lower case letter (f, m, s or w), were established to distinguish specific seasonal characteristics of temperature and precipitation. To further denote variations in climate a third lower letter (a, b, c, d, h or k) was added. A.2 to A.5 present the different steps that shall be used to determine the Köppen climate type from meteorological data measured closed to the test field. Temperature and rainfall parameters have to be derived from the last 30 years. A.2 Step 1: Determine whether a climate is arid/semiarid (climate B) A.2.1 Determine the annual rainfall r (in mm) and the annual average temperature t (in °C). A.2.2 If r > 20 x (t+14) it is not a climate B. Go to A.3. A.2.3 Determine the rainfall distribution. Then determine Bs, Bw or neither according to the criteria given in Table A.1 below. Table A.1 Rainfall Distribution Not a B climate Go to A.3 Bs (Semi-arid) Bw (Arid) 70% of rainfall in warmest 6 months r > 20 x (t+14) 10 x (t+14) < r < 20 x (t+14) r < 10 x (t+14) 70% of rainfall in coldest 6 months r > 20 x t 10 x t < r < 20 x t r <10 x t Even rainfall distribution (neither of above) r > 20 x (t+7) 10 x (t+7) < r < 20 x (t+7) r <10 x (t+7) A.3 Step 2: If not a B Climate, identify the climate as A, C, D or E according to temperature data The climate is determined according to temperature of coldest (tmin) and/or warmest month (tmax). A.3.1 if tmin> 18°C, it is an A climate; A.3.2 if - 3° ≤ tmin ≤ 18°C and tmax > 10°C, it is a C climate; A.3.3 if tmin < - 3°C and tmax > 10°C, it is a D climate; SIST EN 1824:2011



EN 1824:2011 (E) 16 A.3.4 if tmax < 10°C, it is a E climate. A.4 Step 3: After identifying A, Bs, Bw, C, D or E, determine the climate subcategories A.4.1 A climates Consider the average rainfall of the driest month rmin (in mm):  if rmin ≥ 60 m, it is a f subcategory;  if rmin < 60 mm and rmin > 100 – (r/25), it is an m subcategory;
 if it is not a f or m subcategory, it is a w subcategory.
A.4.2 B climates Consider the average annual temperature t:
 if t ≥ 18°C m, it is a h subcategory;  if t < 18°C, it is a k subcategory. A.4.3 C or D climates Consider the highest and lowest average rainfall for summer months rmax(summer), rmin(summer), and the highest and lowest average rainfall for winter months rmax(winter), rmin(winter).  if rmax(summer) ≥ 10 x rmin(winter), it is a w subcategory;  if rmax(winter) ≥ 3 x rmin(summer), it is a s subcategory;  if it is not a w or s subcategory, it is a f subcategory

4.4 Road surface conditions and classes
Road trials shall be carried out on asphaltic road surfaces of an age of 1 year or more, which are in good
condition and not in need of repair for the duration of the road trials and are not damaged by the presence of
wheel tracks, fissures, cracks or similar. Highly porous surfaces shall be avoided.
NOTE 1 Road trials on cement concrete surfaces do not give repeatable results because of on-going chemical
reactions.
NOTE 2 Road trials on highly porous surfaces do not give comparable results due to the draining properties.
At the commencement of a road trial, a road surface report of the road trial shall be available. The test
surface report shall include a general description of the road surface and an account of the texture depth
(MTD: mean texture depth), determined in accordance with EN 13036-1.
The MTD shall be measured at several locations on the test field. The number of measurements depends on
the test field length. Measurements shall be carried out, at least, at three transversal locations and repeated
every 30 m on the test field. The transversal measurements locations are in the centre of the carriageway,
near the right and left edge line.
The averaged mean texture depth is derived from these measurements. The standard deviation shall be less
than 0,15 mm.
NOTE 3 The averaged texture depth may also be directly determined in accordance with EN ISO 13473-1.
Depending to the averaged measured texture depth, the test field roughness is described in term of roughness class
according to Table 2.

Table 2 – Test field roughness classes
Roughness class Averaged measured texture depth
RG1 ≤ 0,60 mm
RG2 > 0,60 mm and ≤ 0,90 mm
RG3
> 0,90 mm and ≤ 1,20 mm
RG4 > 1,20 mm

NOTE 4 The texture depth has an influence on the result of road trials, at least for materials applied in thin layers.
4.5 Roll-over classes
The volume of traffic shall be such as to ensure that one or more measurement areas with the desired
roll-over class can be selected (see 7.2).
At the termination of a road trial, a traffic report for the duration of the road trial should be made available.
The traffic report shall include the roll-over classes according to Table 3, determined on the measurement
area(s) in accordance with Annex B.

roll-over classes P0 to P6 are for materials intended for permanent road markings.
The traffic report should further include the percentage of heavy vehicles together with an indication of the
counting method used.
A vehicle is considered a heavy vehicle if its maximum gross mass is above 7500 kg.
4.6 Studded tyres classes
For road trial sites where studded tyres are used to a significant degree, this shall be indicated on the test
report.
NOTE From general experience, such traffic conditions can be relevant to the erosion of road markings.
5 Organization of road trials
5.1 Duration
A road trial shall include at least one full climatic cycle of one year for materials intended for permanent road
marking and up to 6 months for materials intended for temporary road marking.
In some cases, test markings may fall below the performance requirements of the road authority. In these
cases, it may be necessary for the markings to be removed.
5.2 Transverse and longitudinal application patterns
5.2.1 General
Road marking materials shall be applied in patterns of lines either transverse or longitudinal to the road.
When a long (more than 40 cm) measurement area is necessary, the transverse pattern cannot be used.
When both the transverse and longitudinal patterns are used on the same test site, they shall be used on
separate parts of that test site.
5.2.2 Transverse pattern
At least three lines shall be applied for each road marking material. The distance between two adjacent lines
should be at least 0,35 m and the width at least 0,15 m as shown in Figure 1. The application could be done
across one or two lanes.

FprEN 1824:2010(E)
NOTE The test results depend on various factors related to the application of the road marking materials, i.e.
application method, quantities applied, weather conditions, etc.
6.2 Periods for application
Road marking materials shall be applied when the weather conditions are as defined in 6.2.
NOTE The participating parties can agree to include one or more periods for application. One period can, for
instance, be for materials intended for use as temporary road markings and another for materials intended for use as
permanent road markings. There are practical advantages to having the period(s) as short as possible.
For temporary road marking materials, the application period shall be such that the required number of wheel
passages is obtained, and the subsequent measurements carried out, prior to or after winter conditions.
6.3 Conditions suitable for application
Conditions shall be deemed suitable when:
a) the road surface appears to be dry and dew is not being formed;
b) the road surface temperature is within limits agreed upon by the participating parties;
c) the wind speed is less than the maximum agreed upon by the participating parties.
Special road marking materials can be applied in other weather conditions, which shall be noted in the
individual test report (see Clause 8).
EXAMPLE The road surface temperature is at least 3 °C above the dew point of the air, the road surface
-1
temperature is between 10 °C and 50 °C and the maximum wind speed is less than 10 m·s .
6.4 Technical specification for application
Prior to the commencement of the road trials, the applicant shall submit to the test authority the application
instructions of the road marking material.
NOTE 1 The application instructions will include preparation methods (such as how to melt a thermoplastic material),
what type of application to use (e.g. extrusion of a thermoplastic material), any particular road marking equipment
required, the pattern of application (e.g. plain or a certain type of structure), the rate(s) of application (in grams per
square metre), what drop-on materials to add, their rate(s) of application and the method to use.
Whenever possible the road marking material shall be applied using self-propelled road marking equipment,
and drop-on materials shall be applied mechanically.
NOTE 2 Most materials, except preformed materials, can be applied using self-propelled road marking equipment;
this ensures better repeatability of the application.
NOTE 3 The road marking equipment used can either be those put to general commercial use or special road
marking equipment. The road marking equipment can be operated by the usual crews or by staff at the test site.
If the test authority and the applicant agree to test road marking equipment prior to the application of a road
marking material, the rate of application of marking materials and of drop-on materials shall be adjusted and
the rate of application applied verified in accordance with Annex C. A road marking equipment shall be
rejected if any of three rates of application applied in three successive test runs deviates more than 20 %
from the average rate of application.

6.5 Sampling and measurements
6.5.1 Sampling
When samples are required for identification or other purposes, each road marking material, all the
components of a multiple component material, and drop-on materials shall be taken into account.
NOTE 1 For certification purposes, sampling will be done by test laboratory.
NOTE 2 For materials used in more than one application, it is not necessary to sample every application.
NOTE 3 The participating parties can agree to include further specifications for sampling, such as quantities to
sample.
NOTE 4 If diluents are allowed and used for the application, the rate of dilution will be verified sampling materials both
from the original container and from the tank.
6.5.2 Measurement of drying time and weather conditions
When required by the participating parties, the drying time shall be measured for paints and cold plastics.
The drying time shall be determined in accordance with Annex D for every line that contains a measurement
area (see 7.2) for further measurements.
The drying time shall be reported together with an account of the weather conditions, including the ambient
temperature, the road surface temperature, the relative air humidity and the wind speed as measured during
application in accordance with Annex E.
6.5.3 Determination of the useful rate(s) of application and the rate(s) of consumption during
application
During the application of a road marking material, the useful rates of application of the material and of any
drop-on or non drop-on material shall be determined in accordance with Annex C. When the rate(s) of
consumption of material(s) during application are also required, they should be also determined in
accordance with Annex C.
NOTE The participating parties can agree to include a criterion for the acceptability of the application of a road
marking material. For example, the application is rejected if any of the rates of application from the different lines
deviates more than 10 % from the average rate of application, or if the average rate of application deviates more than, for
example, 15 % from the rate of application given in the specification for the material.
7 Measurements related to performance
7.1 General
Test lines shall only be washed when it is necessary to do so and by agreements between the participating
parties. Washing shall be with a soft brush using clear water. The performance shall be then determined
once the product is dry. When test lines have been washed, it shall be indicated on the test report.

Annex A
(normative)

Köppen classification
A.1 Generalities
The aim of this annex is to determine in which climatic area belongs a test field using the Köppen
classification system.
The Köppen Climate Classification System is the most widely used for classifying the world's climates. It
defines six major climate types based on annual and monthly averages of temperature and precipitation.
Each type is designated by a capital letter (A, B, C, D, E and H).
Further sub-types, designated by a second lower case letter (f, m, s or w), were established to distinguish
specific seasonal characteristics of temperature and precipitation.
To further denote variations in climate a third lower letter (a, b, c, d, h or k) was added.
A.2 to A.5 present the different steps that shall be used to determine the Köppen climate type from
meteorological data measured closed to the test field. Temperature and rainfall parameters have to be
derived from the last 30 years.
A.2 Step 1: Determine whether a climate is arid/semiarid (climate B)
A.2.1 Determine the annual rainfall r (in mm) and the annual average temperature t (in °C).
A.2.2 If r > 20 x (t+14) it is not a climate B. Go to A.3.
A.2.3 Determine the rainfall distribution. Then determine Bs, Bw or neither according to the criteria given in
Table A.1 below.

A.3 Step 2: If not a B Climate, identify the climate as A, C, D or E according to
temperature data
The climate is determined according to temperature of coldest (t ) and/or warmest month (t ).
