Anti-glare systems for roads - Part 1: Performance and characteristics
This standard specifies the characteristics of an anti-glare system in terms of their optical effectiveness and the mechanical performance of its elements. Performance criteria are specified in relation to tests provided in the accompanying EN: Anti-Glare Systems - Test Methods. Optical performance of the AGS may also be determined by calculation as specified in the present standard, clause 5.1.1. This standard also makes recommendations for the design of AGS to minimize maintenance.
Blendschutzsysteme für Straßen - Teil 1: Anforderungen und Eigenschaften
Dieser Teil der prEN 12676:1999 legt die Eigenschaften eines Blendschutz- systems hinsichtlich seiner optischen Wirksamkeit und der mechanischen Eigenschaften seiner Bestandteile fest. Er enthält ein Berechnungsverfahren, nach dem die optischen Eigenschaften eines Blenschutzsystems bestimmt werden können. Anforderungen und Empfehlungen für die Konstruktion von Blendschutz- systemen sind angegeben, bei denen der Wartungsaufwand gering ist.

Overview
EN 12676-1:2000 - Anti-glare systems for roads - Part 1: Performance and characteristics (CEN) defines the performance and characteristic requirements for roadside anti-glare systems (AGS). The standard specifies how an AGS should perform in terms of optical effectiveness and mechanical performance of its elements, and sets out performance criteria referenced to test methods in the accompanying EN document. It also permits optical performance to be determined by calculation (see clause 5.1.1) and includes design recommendations to minimize maintenance. (ICS: 93.080.30 - Road equipment and installations)
Key topics and technical requirements
- Optical effectiveness: Defines the required characteristics that reduce headlight glare and improve driver comfort and safety at night.
- Mechanical performance: Specifies durability and structural expectations for the physical elements of AGS (panels, fixings, supports).
- Performance criteria linked to tests: Criteria are expressed in relation to the test procedures given in the accompanying “Anti-Glare Systems - Test Methods” EN document.
- Calculation method: Optical performance may alternatively be determined by calculation as specified in clause 5.1.1 of the standard.
- Design for low maintenance: Recommendations aimed at selecting materials and construction details that reduce cleaning, inspection and repair frequency.
Applications
EN 12676-1:2000 is applicable wherever anti-glare systems are used to control vehicle headlight glare on roads and highways. Typical applications include:
- Median and central reservation screens to prevent dazzling of opposing traffic
- Roadside or verge-mounted glare screens adjacent to intersections or roundabouts
- Retrofit installations on bridge approaches, tunnels and transition zones
- Integrated road furniture where glare control is required alongside noise or privacy screening
Who should use this standard
- Highway and transport authorities specifying AGS for public roads
- Road safety engineers assessing glare mitigation solutions
- Manufacturers and suppliers of anti-glare panels, mounts and accessories for product development and compliance
- Consultants and specifiers preparing tender documents and technical specifications
- Maintenance planners designing AGS for long-term operability and reduced lifecycle costs
Related standards
- Accompanying EN: Anti‑Glare Systems – Test Methods (referenced in EN 12676-1 for performance verification)
- Other road equipment standards under CEN that address installation, structural performance and road safety may be used in conjunction with EN 12676-1:2000.
