1、BRITISH STANDARD BS EN 12899-1:2001 Including Corrigenda Nos. 1 and 2 Fixed, vertical road traffic signs Part 1: Fixed signs The European Standard EN 12899-1:2001 has the status of a British Standard ICS 93.080.30 ? BS EN 12899-1:2001 This British Standard, having been prepared under the direction o
2、f the Building and Civil Engineering Sector Policy and Strategy Committee, was published under the authority of the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee on 16 May 2002 BSI 2006 ISBN 0 580 37515 3 National foreword This British Standard is the official English language version of BS EN 12899-1:200
3、1. It partially supersedes BS 873:1983 parts 1 and 7 and supersedes parts 5 and 6, which are withdrawn. The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee B/509, Road equipment, to Subcommittee B/509/3, Traffic signs. A list of organizations represented on B/509/3 can be ob

Additional information BS EN 12899-1:2001 fully takes into account the requirements of the European Commission Mandate M/111, Circulation fixtures, given under the EU Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC), but is not intended to lead to CE marking. BS EN 12
5、899-1:2001 is a standard which sets down performance values rather than a method of manufacture. It has, in most cases, several performance classes for each property such as coefficient of retroreflection (R ). It replaces those parts of BS 873 that apply to fixed vertical traffic signs, parts 1 and
6、 7 (clauses dealing with non-illuminated posts). BS EN 12899-1:2001 gives guidance and background information to manufacturers of fixed vertical road traffic signs on the use of BS EN 12899-1:2001. In particular it provides guidance in relation to the information that a manufacturer receives from pu
7、rchasers. This would enable road traffic signs to be designed and manufactured on the basis of that information whilst conforming to BS EN 12899-1:2001. Information on visual and physical performance classes is also included. Amendments issued since publication Amd. No. DateComments 14000 Corrigendu

Recommended classes for visual and physical performance p
9、roperties considered most suitable for UK practice is given in National Annex NA. In the opinion of BSI Technical Committee, areas not covered by BS EN 12899-1:2001 that affect its use in practice are summarized below. Guidance is given on some of these matters in the National Annex NA: microprismat
10、ic material; external illumination of signs; defined safety factors for use when calculating or testing physical performance; methods that state the physical characteristics of sign supports separately from the complete sign assembly; the specification of posts as separate products. NOTE 1 Example v
11、alues are given in the example calculation in informative Annex B, these values are neither normative nor comprehensive. This annex will be omitted in a future revision of BS EN 12899-1:2001. NOTE 2 A revision of BS EN 12899-1:2001 is in progress and a national annex will be included to give additio
12、nal advice on application. It is likely to be late in 2007 before this revision is issued. This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application. Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legal

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical tex
21、t or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2005. EN 12699 consists of the following parts, under the general title Fixed, vertical road traffic signs ? Part 1 : Fixed signs ? Part 2 : Transilluminated traffic bolla
22、rds ? Part 3 : Road delineators and road reflective devices (delineation posts) ? Part 4 : Evaluation of conformity, factory production control ? Part 5 : Evaluation of conformity, initial type testing It derives from performance requirements and test methods published in CEN, CENELEC, CIE and ISO d
23、ocuments together with standards of the CEN member organisations. The annexes A and B are informative. Annex C is normative. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard : Austria, Bel
24、gium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. EN 128991:2001 (E) 3 Introduction This standard is for use by Road Authorities and private developers who wish to us
25、e signs similar to those used on public highways on their own land. The standard may be used to implement type approval and certification testing. EN 128991:2001 (E) 4 1 Scope This part of EN 12899:2001 specifies requirements for new fixed signs : ? non-retroreflective and retroreflective fixed sign
26、s ; ? non-retroreflective and retroreflective fixed signs when they are illuminated at night by external lighting luminaires ; and ? transilluminated signs. The main intended use of fixed signs is for the instruction and guidance of road users on public and private land. It defines performance limit
27、s and a range of performance classes for both sign assemblies without vertical supports and assemblies complete with vertical supports, as well as sign faces and supporting substrates, sign fixings and supports and external lighting luminaires. Colorimetric and retroreflective properties as well as
28、the luminance are specified. The retroreflective properties are in respect of materials based on the use of glass bead technology only. Structural requirements for signs and sign supports include performance under static and dynamic loading. It also defines performance levels to be maintained after
29、natural weathering exposure. NOTEWhere tests for extremely low temperatures are required they should be in accordance with the customers requirements. This standard does not require the replacement of existing signs. Products and requirements not covered by this standard : a) sign gantries, cantilev
30、ers and sign foundations ; b) signs constructed from light emitting diodes (LED) or fibre optics ; c) variable message signs ; d) transilluminated retroreflective signs ; e) passive safety performance requirements of sign support structures against vehicle impact ; f) signs used for temporary purpos
