EN 1436 Road Marking Materials, Road Marking Performance and Test Methods for Road Users

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 1436 standard. This European standard specifies the performance for road users of white and yellow road signs, expressed by reflections in daylight or under road lighting, retroreflection in vehicle headlights, color and slip resistance. In addition, the standard specifies test methods and conditions.

Road signs, longitudinal markings on the surface of the roadway, arrows, transverse markings, text and symbols, etc. includes.

Longitudinal road markings serve, among others, to define roads, to separate opposing traffic flows and to divide the total road area into sub-areas. Other road signs serve a number of purposes, among others, to indicate the use of driving lanes, to indicate exact stop and give way, to mark pedestrian crossings, and to provide information.

Road signs are permanent or temporary. The functional life of temporary road markings is limited by the duration of the road works. For permanent road signs, it is best for safety reasons to have a functional life as long as possible, while limited by the gradual deterioration of performance and the level of service to be provided to road users.
