This European Standard specifies the requirements for assembled vertical road traffic signs as well as for their components (i.e. retroreflective sign face materials, supports and signs, which may or may not have additional components) together with provisions for the corresponding test methods, evaluation of conformity and marking.
NOTE Provisions for the evaluation of conformity with regards to initial type testing (ITT) are further specified in EN 12899-5; provisions with regards to factory production control (FPC) are further specified in EN 12899-4.
The main intended use of fixed signs is for the instruction and guidance of road users on public and private land.
Matters not covered by this standard:
a) sign gantry and cantilever structures;
b) signs with discontinuous messages, e.g. using light emitting diodes (LED), or fibre optics;
c) variable message traffic signs;
d) signs used for temporary purposes;
e) foundations;
f) tests for extremely low temperatures.
