BS EN 12802:2011 PDF Download

The BS EN 12802:2011 standard is focused on laboratory methods for identifying road marking materials. This standard is specifically designed for materials used in horizontal signalization, which refers to the markings on roads that provide guidance and information to drivers. The standard recognizes that not all of the tests described may be necessary, depending on specific requirements.

The purpose of this standard is to provide a systematic approach to identify road marking materials in a laboratory setting. It aims to ensure that the materials used for road markings meet the necessary quality and performance standards. By following the methods outlined in the standard, manufacturers and testing laboratories can accurately determine the composition and characteristics of road marking materials.

This standard provides a reliable framework for evaluating road marking materials and helps to ensure that they are suitable for use on roadways. It allows for consistent testing methods across different materials and provides a basis for comparing the performance of different products. Compliance with this standard helps to improve the safety and effectiveness of road markings, ultimately contributing to efficient and reliable traffic management.
