DIN EN 13422 PDF Download

The DIN EN 13422 standard specifies the requirements for new traffic cones and traffic cylinders with retroreflective properties. The standard outlines the minimum essential visual and physical performance characteristics of these devices, as well as the test methods for determining their performance. The goal is to ensure that the cones and cylinders meet the necessary safety standards for use in road traffic situations.

The standard also provides guidelines for the categorization and specification of traffic cones and cylinders based on their intended applications. This allows for the selection of the appropriate device for different scenarios, in accordance with best practices.

In terms of physical properties, the standard establishes performance levels and indicative tests for factors such as cold weather resilience, stability, and impact resistance. On the visual side, requirements are set for properties like color, retroreflectivity, and luminance to ensure proper visibility.

It is worth noting that the tests outlined in this standard already exist in national technical standards or legislative requirements of Member States. The standard also includes provisions for identification and marking to indicate the declared levels of performance.

Lastly, it's important to mention that this standard specifically focuses on traffic cones and cylinders that meet the design requirements outlined. It does not cover devices with different shapes or those that fail to meet the specified design criteria.
