Introduction
This document provides requirements for the construction and visual performance of traffic cones and
cylinders. The visual performance at daytime is specified by the colour and luminance factor. The visual
performance at night-time is specified by the coefficient of retroreflection R , the coefficient of
A
retroreflected luminance R and the relative distribution of retroreflective performance L .
L rel
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for new traffic cones and new traffic cylinders with
retroreflective properties.
This document specifies minimum essential visual and physical performance characteristics; test
methods for determination of product performance and the means by which this performance may be
communicated to the user and the public including safety enforcement agencies.
The document provides a series of categories or classes by which a traffic cone or traffic cylinder may
be specified for use in different applications in accordance with best practice.
In the case of physical properties, performance levels and indicative tests are provided for cold weather,
stability, and impact resistance when dropped. Requirements for visual recognition properties, colour,
retroreflectivity and luminance are provided.
Provision for identification and marking to declared levels of performance is provided.
There are other product shapes which perform similar functions. This document does not cover devices
made in other shapes, or which do not meet the design requirements of this document.

4.1 Traffic cones
4.1.1 Design of traffic cones
4.1.1.1 Shape of traffic cones
There shall be two shape classes for traffic cones (S1 and S2).
Class S1 - The angle between the sides of the cone body and the cone's vertical axis shall be (10 ± 2,5)°
for at least the uppermost 75 % H of the traffic cone. The lower 25 % H of the traffic cone above the
base plate may have an angle between the sides of the body and the traffic cone's vertical axis of
between 7,5° and 14,5°.
Class S2 - The angle between the sides of the cone body and the cone's vertical axis shall be (10 ± 2,5)°
for at least the uppermost 75 % H of the traffic cone. The lower 25 % H of the traffic cone above the
base plate may have an increased angle between the sides of the body and the traffic cone's vertical axis
of between 14,6° and 45°.
4.1.1.2 Shape of the base plate for traffic cones
The base plate shall have a minimum of 4 and not more than 8 sides.
4.1.2 Dimensions of traffic cones
4.1.2.1 General
Traffic cones shall conform to Table 1 and shall be assigned according to weight class (W) of Table 1
achieved. The nominal height of the traffic cone and the weight class required shall be specified by the
purchaser. The height H of the traffic cone shall not deviate more than 5 % from the nominal height, as
specified by the purchaser.

4.1.2.2 Stacked height of traffic cones
The overall height of two identical traffic cones, when stacked one upon the other, shall not exceed
1,2 H of each individual traffic cone. Traffic cones shall be designed to ensure that, when stacked, they
do not bind together, nor damage the retroreflective surface(s).
4.1.2.3 Top of body of traffic cones
The external diameter of the top of the cone body shall be (60 ± 15) mm. The top of the cone body shall
have a circular hole provided in its upper surface. The hole shall have a diameter of (40 ± 5) mm.
The area of the cone body immediately below the top of the traffic cone shall have a configuration to
provide a hand grip. This area need not be retroreflective and shall not exceed the greater height of
either 0,1 H or 60 mm measured from the top.
4.1.2.4 Base plate of traffic cones
When the thickness of the outer edge of the base plate exceeds 15 mm, its plan area shall be contained
within a circle whose diameter is 0,75 H of the traffi
