Road Restraint Systems - Part 1: Terminology and General Criteria for Test Methods
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1317-1 standard provides clear definitions for key terms used in the design and evaluation of road vehicle restraint systems and pedestrian restraint systems. This standard is part of a larger series of standards that cover various aspects of road restraint systems.
The standard serves as a foundation for other parts of the DIN EN 1317 series by establishing a common terminology, ensuring consistent understanding and communication across different stakeholders involved in the development, testing, and implementation of road restraint systems. By defining these terms, the standard helps to eliminate confusion and ensure that all parties are on the same page when discussing and working with road restraint systems.
Additionally, DIN EN 1317-1 establishes general criteria for test methods, providing a set of guidelines and principles to be followed when conducting tests on road restraint systems. These criteria ensure that the testing is standardized and consistent across different laboratories or testing facilities, promoting reliable and comparable results. By setting out these general provisions, the standard further ensures that the testing of road restraint systems is conducted in a systematic and rigorous manner, enabling accurate assessment and evaluation of their performance.
