They are completely covered by this standard. Thermoplastic road markings with drop-on materials need the addition of drop-on materials during application on the road and therefore they are in some way similar to the thermoplastic products covered by prEN 1871:2008. This standard provides all the relevant information and cross references to prEN 1871:2008 in order to cover these kinds of products. SIST EN 1790:2013

EXAMPLE Thermo AX – Assembly 1; Thermo AX – assembly 2, etc. Note 1 to entry: This definition is relevant only for preformed thermoplastic road marking with drop-on materials as defined in 3.1.4. 3.6 structured road marking products road marking product without areas of regular dimensions and tap surfaces, which has flat areas of a maximum width of 75,7 mm a maximum length of 125 mm at the top of the structure Note 1 to entry: The areas can be crossed by gaps that take up minimum 25 % of the total surface area and have widths of minimum 5 mm.

Primers are used to precoat road surfaces before the road marking system is applied. They improve the adhesion of the road marking and protect against disintegration, discolouring, etc. caused by incompatible compounds in the road surface. 4 Requirements 4.1 Tape, Preformed Cold Plastic Road Marking and Preformed Thermoplastic Road Marking without drop-on Materials 4.1.1 General The requirements are meant as characteristics of the materials as fully finished products. They are therefore intended as laboratory requirements. 4.1.2 Day-time visibility (reflection in daylight or under road lighting)
Day-time visibility represents the brightness of a road marking as seen by driver’s vehicles in typical or average daylight or under road lighting. It shall be measured either by the coefficient of luminance under diffuse illumination (Qd), expressed in mcd·m-2·lx-1 or by the luminance factor (). a) When luminance coefficient under diffuse illumination Qd is measured, the preformed road marking material is tested in accordance with 5.2.2 a) and shall comply with classes Q1 to Q5 of EN 1436:2007+A1:2008, Table 1.
b) When luminance factor
is measured, the preformed road marking material is tested in accordance with 5.2.2 b), and shall comply with Table 1: Table 1  Classes of luminance factor β in dry conditions Type and colour Class

4.1.3 Night-time visibility (retroreflection under vehicle headlamp illumination)
Night-time visibility represents the brightness of a road marking as seen by driver’s vehicles under the illumination by the driver’s own headlamp. The result is expressed by the coefficient of retroreflected luminance in mcd·m-2·lx-1. The coefficient of retroreflected luminance on dry conditions changes during wetness or during rain. Retroreflected luminance during wetness or during rain only applies for road markings type II. a) When preformed road marking material is tested on dry conditions, in accordance with 5.2.3 a), the coefficient of the retroreflected luminance RL shall comply with classes R1 to R5 of EN 1436:2007+A1:2008, Table 3 (only for retroreflective road marking products). SIST EN 1790:2013

4.1.6 Removability
Removability, as defined in 3.2, shall be tested in order to evaluate whether the preformed road marking material is entirely removable without leaving permanent marks that could confuse the road user during the different weather conditions. The removability of preformed road markings cannot be determined in the laboratory and shall therefore be tested on the road, in accordance with 5.2.6. 4.1.7 Resistance to UV exposure
UV resistance shall be checked in accordance with 5.2.7. The chromaticity co-ordinates of preformed materials after UV exposure shall comply with the region for white road markings of Table 6 and with region Y2 for yellow road markings in EN 1436:2007+A1:2008, Table 6, respectively for white and yellow preformed road marking. The preformed materials shall be classified in accordance with Table 2, where ∆β is the difference between the luminance factor before and after UV exposure. Table 2  Classes of UV resistance

4.2 Preformed Thermoplastic Road Marking with drop-on Materials Requirements for these products are defined in prEN 1871:2008, 4.2.1 (Test before heat stability for base road marking materials) and in prEN 1871:2008, M.3.2.2 (Night- and Day-time Visibility and Skid Resistance). Test methods are defined in 5.3 of this European Standard. SIST EN 1790:2013

When a road marking product to be used for temporary road marking is tested according to 5.4.2, the road marking product shall be exposed to at least roll-over classes T0; T1 or T2 of Table 3 of EN 1824:2011. For the requirements of the road marking product specified in 4.1 and 4.2, the results are expressed in terms of a class (with the exception of the colour for which pass/fail criteria is used) for the corresponding roll-over class (P) and accompanied by studded tyres (Y/N). 4.3.3 Durability of on wear simulator - turntable When a road marking product to be used for permanent road marking is tested according to 5.4.3, the road marking product shall be exposed to at least traffic class P4 of EN 13197:2011, Table 4.
When a road marking product to be used for temporary road marking is tested according to 5.4.3, the road marking product shall be exposed to at least traffic class P1 of EN 13197:2011, Table 4. For the requirements of the road marking product specified in 4.1 and 4.2, the results are expressed in terms of a class (with the exception of the colour for which pass/fail criteria is used) for the corresponding roll-over class (P).
