Bibliography

This document specifies requirements for new traffic cones and new traffic cylinders with retroreflective properties.This document specifies minimum essential visual and physical performance characteristics; test methods for determination of product performance and the means by which this performance may be communicated to the user and the public including safety enforcement agencies.The document provides a series of categories or classes by which a traffic cone or traffic cylinder may be specified for use in different applications in accordance with best practice.In the case of physical properties, performance levels and indicative tests are provided for cold weather, stability, and impact resistance when dropped. Requirements for visual recognition properties, colour, retroreflectivity and luminance are provided.All of the tests contained in this document already exist in one or more national technical standard(s) of Member State(s), or in legislative requirement(s) or code(s) of practice of Member State(s).Provision for identification and marking to declared levels of performance is provided.There are other product shapes which perform similar functions. This document does not cover devices made in other shapes, or which do not meet the design requirements of this document.
