BS EN 1463-1:2009 PDF Download

BS EN 1463-1:2009 is a standard that sets out the initial performance requirements and laboratory test methods for retroreflecting road studs. These road studs are designed to be used as permanent or temporary road marking materials. The standard is applicable to road studs that are intended to provide retroreflection under both wet and dry conditions.

The standard specifies the minimum performance requirements for retroreflection, strength, weathering resistance, color, and dimensions of these road studs. It also provides detailed guidelines on the laboratory test methods that should be used to evaluate the performance of these materials. These tests include tests for retroreflection, strength, adhesion, impact resistance, and resistance to weathering.

This standard aims to ensure that retroreflecting road studs meet the necessary performance requirements to enhance road safety and visibility. By defining these requirements and providing standardized testing methods, the standard ensures that road studs meet quality standards and can withstand various environmental conditions. Compliance with this standard can help guarantee the reliable performance and durability of retroreflecting road studs on roads and highways.
