Overview
EN 12676-2:2000 is a CEN standard titled "Anti-glare systems for roads - Part 2: Test methods" (adopted in some countries as SIST EN 12676-2:2002). The document defines the laboratory test conditions required to verify key performance characteristics of road anti-glare systems (glare screens/anti-glare panels). It focuses on repeatable, standardized test methods used to assess durability, optical performance and structural behaviour under controlled conditions.
Key Topics
The standard specifies laboratory test conditions to ascertain the following characteristics:
- Wind resistance
- Procedures to evaluate structural integrity and mechanical performance of anti-glare systems when subjected to wind loading in laboratory conditions.
- Behaviour during artificial ageing
- Methods to assess how materials and assemblies respond to simulated weathering and ageing processes in a controlled environment, to estimate service life and maintenance requirements.
- Measurement of the transmission factor
- Laboratory measurement techniques for the transmission factor (the fraction of light transmitted through the anti‑glare element), a key optical parameter for assessing glare reduction and visibility.
Key keywords: anti-glare systems for roads, EN 12676-2:2000, test methods, wind resistance, artificial ageing, transmission factor, road glare screens, laboratory tests, CEN standard.
Applications
EN 12676-2:2000 is practical for professionals involved in specification, design, testing and procurement of anti-glare systems for highways and urban roads:
- Manufacturers - to develop products that meet standardized test criteria and to validate performance claims.
- Testing laboratories - to perform repeatable, accredited laboratory tests for wind resistance, artificial ageing and optical transmission.
- Road authorities and highway engineers - to specify acceptance criteria in tenders and to evaluate product durability and optical performance for safety and maintenance planning.
- Specifiers and consultants - to compare products, ensure compliance with recognized test methods and reduce risk in selecting glare mitigation solutions.
Practical benefits include improved road safety through verified glare control, predictable maintenance planning based on ageing behaviour, and objective product comparisons using standardized test results.
