This document specifies requirements and test methods for fixed signs (non-retroflective fixed
signs, as: fixed signs with non-retroreflective sign face material, trans-illuminated fixed signs or
externally illuminated fixed signs and retroflective fixed signs, as: fixed signs with retroreflective
sign face material, trans-illuminated fixed signs, or externally illuminated fixed signs) including
the electrical components of the illuminated signs.
This standard covers a number of different performance requirements that have to be fulfilled
(visual performance, resistance to horizontal loads, etc.), but also issues of lifetime (durability)
are covered.
This standard does not cover:
• signs with discontinuous messages, e.g. using light emitting diodes (LED, or fibre optics),
• variable message signs,
• signs used for temporary purposes,
• test for extremely low temperature
