Anti-glare systems for roads - Part 1: Performance and characteristics

Document Number: NL EN 12676 1 : 2011
Sector: Construction Materials and Building
TC: NL TC 59
ICS: 93.080.30
This Part of EN 12676 specifies the characteristics of an anti-glare system in terms of its optical effectiveness and of the mechanical performance of its elements. It gives a method for the determination of the optical performance of anti-glare systems by calculation. Requirements and recommendations for the design of anti-glare systems to minimize maintenance are also given. This Part of EN 12676 does not apply to : - types of anti-glare systems other than those attached to safety barriers; - regulatory characteristics which might be required to ensure that anti-glare systems are compatible with road signs; - specific requirements resulting from extreme environmental conditions experienced in some European countries.
