Overview
FprEN 1871 - issued by CEN - specifies physical requirements and conformity procedures for white and yellow road marking materials: paint, thermoplastic and cold plastic (with or without premix glass beads). The standard applies to materials for permanent and temporary road markings in circulation areas and includes provisions for type testing, factory production control and an informative Annex ZA mapping clauses to the EU Construction Products Directive (for permanent markings).
Key topics and requirements
FprEN 1871 focuses on measurable, performance-related properties used by manufacturers, testing laboratories and specifiers:
- Colour and retroreflective appearance
- Chromaticity co‑ordinates (CIE x,y) and luminance factor (β) with defined classes for white and yellow materials (several LF classes).
- Hiding power (contrast ratio) for paints - specified classes for minimum contrast ratios.
- Durability and stability
- Storage stability (no irreversible skinning or settlement).
- UV ageing and Xenon‑arc exposure - limits on change in luminance factor (∆β).
- Bleed resistance (for asphalt application) - limits on ∆β after test.
- Alkali resistance (for application on hydraulic concrete) - no film destruction or surface roughening.
- Thermoplastic-specific properties
- Softening point before and after heat stability checks (classes defined in °C).
- Heat stability: requirements for changes in softening point and colour after repeated heating.
- Cold impact resistance (ball‑drop tests at defined temperatures).
- Indentation time classes (resistance to permanent deformation).
- Tröger wear (low‑temperature wear testing) - volume loss classes after simulated abrasion.
- Evaluation of conformity
- Type testing and factory production control procedures to verify ongoing compliance.
- Marking and labelling requirements for traceability and assembly identification.
Applications and users
This standard is practical for:
- Manufacturers of road marking paints, thermoplastics and cold plastics - for product development and factory QA.
- Road authorities and specifiers - to define procurement requirements for permanent and temporary road markings.
- Testing laboratories - to perform standardized tests (colour, luminance, softening point, wear, UV ageing, alkali/bleed resistance).
- Contractors and installers - to verify product suitability for asphalt or concrete applications and ensure conformity with EU rules.
