BS EN 1436:1998 Road marking materials. Road marking performance for road users
Withdrawn
IS EN 1436 - Road Marking performance for road-users replaces BS 3262. IS EN 1436 is an end
performance specification concentrating on the needs of the driver. The standard specifies the various
levels of performance that are approved for use in a contract specification, which will govern the required
quality of the road marking. It also describes the methods of measuring the various performance
characteristics. This is the one fundamental difference between the new IS EN standards and the
superseded BS 3262, where there was just one level of quality specified for all road situations. With the
new IS EN standards there are a number of levels of quality specified for several road marking
characteristics.
The standard specifies the performance for the road user of white and yellow road markings based on
luminance (colour), day-time visibility, night-time visibility and skid resistance combined with durability.
The new specification also introduces the importance of wet-night visibility road markings. IS EN 1436
allows the Client to specify the performance needs of their road markings.
