3.1.1 glass bead transparent spherical glass particle, used to provide night visibility for the road markings by retroreflecting the incident headlight beams of a vehicle towards the driver NOTE This product is defined by five characteristics: refractive index, maximum weighted percentage of defective glass beads, granulometry, content of dangerous substances and resistance to chemicals. In addition, surface treatment with its intended use need to be declared by manufacturer (if any). 3.1.2 antiskid aggregate hard grain of natural or artificial origin, used to provide antiskid qualities for the road markings NOTE This product is defined by the following characteristics: − transparent antiskid aggregates: granulometry, resistance to fragmentation (friability); in addition, for transparent antiskid aggregates in glass, content of dangerous substances; − non-transparent antiskid aggregate granulometry, resistance to fragmentation (friability) chromaticity co-ordinates and luminance factor. 3.1.3 mixture of glass beads and antiskid aggregates product which is a combination of here above product criteria and their relative ratio SIST EN 1423:2012

When tested in accordance with 5.3.1.1, the presence of moisture proof coating shall be declared as Pass” or “Fail”. 4.1.1.3 Floatation coating Floatation coating is added to glass beads mainly to allow to the beads to float (and so do not penetrate too much inside) when dropped on road marking materials in liquid phase. When tested in accordance with 5.3.1.2 the presence of floatation coating shall be declared as Pass” or “Fail”. 4.1.1.4 Adhesion coating Adhesion coating is added to allow higher adhesion between the binder and the glass beads when those are dropped on road marking materials. When the manufacturer declares the presence of an adhesion coating on the glass beads it shall be tested in accordance with a test method proposed by the manufacturer. The presence of the coating shall be declared as “Pass” or “Fail”. 4.1.1.5 Other coatings When the manufacturer declares the presence of a coating, other than those in 4.1.1.2, 4.1.1.3 and 4.1.1.4, it shall be proved by testing the glass beads in accordance with a test method proposed by the manufacturer. The presence of the coating shall be declared as “Pass” or “Fail”. 4.1.2 Visibility characteristics 4.1.2.1 Refractive index The refractive index or index of refraction of a substance is a measure of the speed of light in that substance. It is expressed as a ratio of the speed of light in vacuum relative to that in the considered medium. The refractive index n of glass beads, shall be determined in accordance with 5.3.2.1. It shall comply with the following classes: • Class A n ≥ 1,5; • Class B n ≥ 1,7; • Class C n ≥ 1,9. SIST EN 1423:2012
EN 1423:2012 (E) 8 4.1.2.2 Maximum weighted percentage of defective glass beads In a collection of glass beads, maximum weighted percentage of defective glass beads is used to identify the percentage of glass beads that are not perfectly spherical. The reference method for the determination of the maximum weighted percentage of defective glass beads is described in 5.3.2.2. Glass beads defects are listed in Annex C. Once the reference method has been applied and only one defect per bead has been taken into consideration, the maximum weighted percentage of defective beads shall be 20 % including a maximum of 3 % of grains and foreign particles (see Table 1). If a granulometry includes beads with diameters lower than 1 mm and diameters equal to or greater than 1 mm they shall be separated by means of a sieve with nominal sizes of openings of 1 mm and checked separately. Table 1 Maximum weighted percentage of defective glass beads Diameter of glass beads

% Maximum weighted percentage of grains and foreign particles % < 1 20 3 ≥ 1 20 3
During the separate checking of the glass beads with diameters lower than 1 mm and diameters equal to or greater than 1 mm, the maximum weighted percentage of defective glass beads of each fraction shall be recorded separately in the results of counting. 4.1.3 Granulometry Granulometry is the measure of the size gradation of a collection of glass beads. The granulometry of the glass beads shall be declared giving the minimum and the maximum percentages by mass of the cumulative retained glass beads on metal wire cloth test sieves sizes R 40/3 according to ISO 565:1990, using the test sieving procedure defined in ISO 2591-1. Granulometries of glass beads shall be described by selecting sieves in accordance with the following rules (see also Table 2): − the upper safety sieve shall retain 0 % to 2 % of the total mass of the antiskid aggregates; − the upper nominal sieve shall retain 0 % to 10 % of the antiskid aggregates; − if necessary, intermediate sieves shall be added to limit the ratio between the nominal sizes of openings of two successive sieves to a maximum of 1,7 : 1; − for each of the intermediate sieves, the range by mass between the minimum N1 % and the maximum N2 % of the cumulative retained percentages shall be not more than 40 % (N2 - N1 ≤
40); − the lower nominal sieve shall retain 95 % to 100 % of the beads. SIST EN 1423:2012

The range of possible granulometries is defined in this clause and by Table 2 above.
Many granulometries are acceptable dependent on customer requirements and manufacturer specifications.
