EN 1794-1:2018 (E) 4 European foreword This document (EN 1794-1:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN /TC 226 "Road equipment", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2018, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 2018. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1794-1:2011. The main change compared to the previous edition concerns: — the Annex A, i.e.: the way to consider the resistance of the Noise Reducing Devices (NRD) to loads. The first version of this standard was written before the Eurocodes were published and, then, was specifying performances. This revised version of the standard now only states the methods of assessment of the maximum load the NRD can withstand without damage. Essentially the manufacturer now has the responsibility to declare the maximum load guarantee representative of its product performances, and to demonstrate those performances. On the other hand, facing previous problems with wrongly calculated performances of some acoustic elements, this new version of the standard requires that the assessment of the performances is now done mainly by testing. — the Annex D: the acceptance criteria given in the previous version of this standard have been deleted and this revised version of the standard now only refers to EN 1317-1 and EN 1317-2. This European Standard consists of the following parts under the general title "Road traffic noise reducing devices — Non-acoustic performance": — Part 1: Mechanical performance and stability requirements — Part 2: General safety and environmental requirements — Part 3: Reaction to fire — Burning behaviour of noise reducing devices and classification According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

EN 1794-1:2018 (E) 5 Introduction While performing their primary function, road traffic noise reducing devices are exposed to a range of forces due to wind, dynamic air pressure caused by passing traffic, and the self-weight of its component parts. They can also be subjected to shocks caused by stones or other debris thrown up by vehicle tyres and, in some countries, the dynamic force of snow ejected by equipment used to clear roads in winter. The deflections of a noise reducing device under such loads during its design life should not reduce its effectiveness. SIST EN 1794-1:2018
EN 1794-1:2018 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies criteria to categorize road traffic noise reducing devices according to basic mechanical performance under standard conditions of exposure, irrespective of the materials used. A range of conditions and optional requirements is provided in order to take into account the wide diversity of practice in Europe. Individual aspects of performance are covered separately in the annexes. Safety considerations in the event of damage to noise reducing devices are covered in EN 1794-2. This European Standard covers the current behaviour of the product. In order to assess its long term performances, EN 14389-2 should be used. NOTE The test procedure described in Annex A doesn't consider the fatigue effect. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

Resistance against wind load and load from passing vehicles A.1 General The objective of this annex is to provide assessment methods to demonstrate the capability of the product to withstand wind load and load from passing vehicles. The methods and criteria to assess the maximum load NRDs can withstand are provided within this annex. The methods for calculating the different loads that can act on NRDs are provided within Eurocode EN 1990 and Eurocode EN 1991. Requirements are set separately for acoustic and structural elements. In case acoustical and structural elements are not distinct, limits for structural elements apply. The temperature range, within limits of -40 °C to +70 °C, over which the requirements in A.3 to A.4 are met, shall be reported. NOTE In consideration of the various characteristics of the materials (inhomogeneity, creep, de-formations, ageing), an additional reduction of the bearing capacity may become necessary. A.2 Assessment of the performance A.2.1 Structural elements Structural elements are calculated according to the applicable Eurocodes. A.2.2 Acoustic elements A.2.2.1 General The acoustic elements shall be tested according to the following method. The load test shall be carried out on a representative sample which shall include an appropriate number of acoustic elements of the longest span for the element type, with posts or other supports similar to those used in practice. The supports shall be held in the horizontal plane and restrained from lateral movement and rotation. The supports may be propped if only the flexure of the acoustic elements is to be tested, otherwise the supports shall be fixed as in intended use. The test panel shall be allowed to reach equilibrium under laboratory conditions for at least 3 h before testing. Load tests shall be carried out at 20 °C. If the product is intended to be used at very low or very high temperatures, then the test may be repeated at -40 °C and/or +70 °C with appropriate conditioning time, if the material is regarded as being temperature sensitive. If the strength or stiffness of the load carrying material depends on temperature, the effect of temperature differing from range +10 to +30 shall be taken into consideration in testing if the intended temperature range is wider than presented above. Results shall show that temperature variation does not cause failure in the performance of joints (acoustic element detaches from posts in the lowest temperature of the specified range, connections (screw hole in the acoustic elements) allow for shrinkage and expansion in the whole range of temperatures specified by the manufacturer.
For NRD’s with asymmetrical design (geometry, characteristic of materials .), the results could be different on each side. In this case, the tests must be performed on the weakest side. In case of a family of products, the weakest product of the family has to be tested. SIST EN 1794-1:2018
EN 1794-1:2018 (E) 12 A.2.2.2 Assessment by testing A.2.2.2.1 General Test shall be carried out in a horizontal arrangement as described under A.2.2.2.2 hereafter. The manufacturer fixes himself the Fsafe he will declare for his product as being the relevant capacity of his product to withstand loads: the following tests will be done in order to demonstrate this declared performance. In all cases, the applied loads do not exceed Fsafe. The maximum load to be considered for acoustic elements is 4 kN/m2 (for Fsafe or Fd50). A.2.2.2.2 Test procedure The sample to be tested shall be supported as described in A.2.2.1. The point of the acoustic element at which the vertical deflection will reach its maximum shall be determined and all measurements of deflection relative to a fixed datum level shall be taken at this point. After 30 min in this position, a deflection reading dselfweight shall be taken. When placed horizontally, the sample to be tested already supports a load corresponding to its self-weight. Additional loading shall then be simulated by an appropriate number of weights (e.g. small sand bags) that are uniformly distributed across the acoustic element. To prevent local damages of the acoustic element, it is recomme In any case, the total tested load F corresponds to the self-weight plus the additional loads. a) If the sample under test cannot be charged up to a deflection of d = 50 mm: The additional loading F is applied, that corresponds to Fsafe minus the self-weight of the acoustic element. After 30 min under this loading F, the deflection reading dsafe shall be taken. Then, the applied weights shall be carefully removed from the acoustic element and, after 30 min, the deflection reading shall be repeated. The difference between this last deflection and dselfweight shall be described as the permanent deflection dpermanent: its value must not exceed the maximum admissible permanent deformation LA/500. In case this permanent deflection dpermanent, after having released the load, exceeds the limit of LA/500, the test has to be redone (a new sample shall be used) with a reduced Fsafe load until the limit of LA/500 for dpermanent is no more exceeded: this load has to be declared as FpermanentLA/500 (in kN/m2). Afterwards, the same panel must be reloaded up to a total load of Fsafe . SF (including the self-weight). The manufacturer must report a value for SF equal or greater than1.5. After 30 min under this loading, the deflection reading shall be taken and this maximum deflection dmax is reported.
