What is BS EN 1824 about?
BS EN 1824 is a European standard that discusses road marking materials. The main objective of BS EN 1824 is to differentiate road marking materials based on their quality and performance.
BS EN 1824 specifies the requirements for conducting road trials for road marking intended for use in both permanent and temporary road marking. Details are given for test sites, for the application of road marking materials on the test sites, for the parameters to be measured and the frequency of the measurements and for the presentation of the results in the form of a test report.
Who is BS EN 1824 for?
BS EN 1824 on road marking materials is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of road marking materials
- Civil engineers
- Contractors
- Road safety and management authorities
Why should you use BS EN 1824?
Road marking materials are largely assessed using road trials.
As road marking paints are constructed of highly reflective materials, they are much easier to notice even in bad weather or other low-light situations. They are vital for road safety since they guide vehicles for short-range driving operations as well as long-range vehicle alignment on the road.
BS EN 1824 provides the standards for performing road trials for road markings that are intended for both permanent and temporary use.
BS EN 1824 can help in road safety by guiding vehicles on the road for short-range driving and long-range vehicle alignment. Apart from that, it aids you in improving awareness of approaching hazardous zones and instructs drivers of adequate speed management.
