14、y BSI Standards Limited, under licence fromThe British Standards Institution, and came into effect on 30 November 2015. Itwas prepared by Subcommittee B/509/3, Construction of road traffic signs, underthe authority of Technical Committee B/509, Road equipment. A list oforganizations represented on t

15、hese committees can be obtained on request totheir secretary.SupersessionThis British Standard supersedes BS 8442:2006, which is withdrawn.Product certification/inspection/testingUsers of this British Standard are advised to consider the desirability ofthird-party certification/inspection/testing of

16、 product conformity with this BritishStandard. Appropriate conformity attestation arrangements are described inBS EN ISO/IEC 17025. Users seeking assistance in identifying appropriateconformity assessment bodies or schemes may ask BSI to forward their enquiriesto the relevant association.Presentatio

17、nal conventionsThe provisions of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Itsrequirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is“shall”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented insmaller italic type, and does not constitute a

18、 normative element.Requirements in this standard are drafted in accordance with Rules for thestructure and drafting of UK standards, subclause J.1.1, which states,“Requirements should be expressed using wording such as: When tested asdescribed in Annex A, the product shall .”. This means that only t

19、hose productsthat are capable of passing the specified test will be deemed to conform to thisstandard.Contractual and legal considerationsThis publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of acontract. Users are responsible for its correct application.Compliance with a Britis

20、h Standard cannot confer immunity from legalobligations.Particular attention is drawn to the following specific regulations:a) The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) 1b) The School Crossing Patrol Sign (Scotland) Regulations 2002 2c) The School Crossing Patrol Sign (England and

34、of the illuminance on a plane perpendicular to the direction of incidentlight and the area of the surfaceNOTE RAis expressed in candelas per lux per square metre (cdlx1m2).3.2 conspicuity panelpart of the body of a self-righting bollard that enhances its conspicuity in alllighting conditions3.3 entr

47、ed in such a way that, when erected, the lowest edgeof the sign, or of any supplementary plate, shall be not less than 300 mm abovethe supporting surface. The sign shall be so constructed that, when erected, thesign face is either normal to the supporting surface or inclined so that the topof the si

48、gn leans away from the viewer, at an angle not greater than 22.5 fromthe normal to the supporting surface when observed from the front.NOTE 1 Retroreflective materials are designed to provide more reflected light todrivers when mounted vertically.The sign assembly shall be designed to enable ballast

49、ing so that the sign resiststhe wind forces in its intended location. The sign assembly manufacturer shallindicate the minimum recommended ballast required, and its positioning on thesign assemblys supports, for the sign assembly to resist the wind speed class(es)for which it is designed see Table 1, 14.1e) and Annex B.The minimum recommended ballast required for the sign assembly to resist ClassA, Class B and Class C wind speeds shall be
