ASTM D713-12 (R2017) PDF Download

ASTM D713-12 (R2017) standard provides guidelines for evaluating the performance and durability of fluid traffic marking materials. The standard focuses on the assessment of bead retention, retroreflectivity, daytime color, nighttime color, and wear characteristics of these materials, which are essential factors to determine their useful life in the field. The evaluation process involves applying the materials under specific conditions on road surfaces and conducting periodic observations based on predefined performance criteria. This practice can be applied to both longitudinal lines and transverse test lines to determine the service life of the fluid traffic marking materials.
