Bibliography

Defines requirements and tests for rigid and flexible portable signs, barriers, self-supporting portable signs, 'Stop/Go' and 'Stop/Works' signs, school crossing patrol signs, flat traffic delineators, flap signs, pedestrian crossing and refuge beacons, internally illuminated posts, twin amber flashing light units, non-retroreflecting road studs and retroreflective self-righting bollards.

This British Standard specifies requirements and tests (see Note) for rigid and flexible portable signs, barriers, self-supporting portable signs, “Stop/Go?? and “Stop/Works?? signs, school crossing patrol signs, flat traffic delineators, flap signs, pedestrian crossing and refuge beacons, internally illuminated posts, twin amber flashing light units, non-retroreflecting road studs and retroreflective self-righting bollards.

Non-retroreflecting road studs incorporating an active light source are not covered by this standard.

NOTE The tests given in this standard are suitable for both initial type testing and production testing.
