Part 1: Measurement of pavement surface macrotexture depth using a volumetric patch technique 3 Terms and definitions For the purpose of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 roll-over number of wheels passing over a point of a road surface within a specified period of time 3.2 useful rate of application quantity, expressed in g×m-2, of drop-on and/or non-drop materials which have adhered to the road marking substrate, when lines are done 3.3 rate of consumption during application quantity, expressed in g×m-2, of drop-on or injection materials at the exit of the guns of the application equipment 3.4 percentage of heavy vehicles ratio between the number of heavy vehicles and the number of all vehicles circulating on the test site 4 Test sites and conditions 4.1 General Test sites shall be arranged at suitable locations in accordance with 4.2 to 4.5. The test results may depend on test field location, climate, road surface and traffic which shall be described according to 4.2 to 4.6. 4.2 Test sites characteristics and location The test site shall be located in an area which belongs to one of the climatic classes defined in 4.3. The test site shall consist of a field, where the road marking materials are to be applied, with extra space at both ends. The roads used for test sites should be straight and flat and without junctions, substantial obstacles to daylight, sources of frequent dirt (quarries, field exits, etc.) or tracked vehicles.

NOTE 4 The texture depth has an influence on the result of road trials, at least for materials applied in thin layers. 4.5 Roll-over classes The volume of traffic shall be such as to ensure that one or more measurement areas with the desired roll-over class can be selected (see 7.2). At the termination of a road trial, a traffic report for the duration of the road trial should be made available. The traffic report shall include the roll-over classes according to Table 3, determined on the measurement area(s) in accordance with Annex B.
5 Organization of road trials 5.1 Duration A road trial shall include at least one full climatic cycle of one year for materials intended for permanent road marking and up to 6 months for materials intended for temporary road marking. In some cases, test markings may fall below the performance requirements of the road authority. In these cases, it may be necessary for the markings to be removed. 5.2 Transverse and longitudinal application patterns 5.2.1 General Road marking materials shall be applied in patterns of lines either transverse or longitudinal to the road. When a long (more than 40 cm) measurement area is necessary, the transverse pattern cannot be used. When both the transverse and longitudinal patterns are used on the same test site, they shall be used on separate parts of that test site. 5.2.2 Transverse pattern At least three lines shall be applied for each road marking material. The distance between two adjacent lines should be at least 0,35 m and the width at least 0,15 m as shown in Figure 1. The application could be done across one or two lanes.

For each of the road marking materials there shall be one line in each column containing measurement areas (see 7.2.2.3). The lines should be at least 0,13 m wide and at least 1 m long as shown in Figure 2. Unmarked space between the lines is a minimum of 0,5 m in the longitudinal direction. SIST EN 1824:2011

NOTE 1 For certification purposes, sampling will be done by test laboratory. NOTE 2 For materials used in more than one application, it is not necessary to sample every application. NOTE 3 The participating parties can agree to include further specifications for sampling, such as quantities to sample. NOTE 4 If diluents are allowed and used for the application, the rate of dilution will be verified sampling materials both from the original container and from the tank. 6.5.2 Measurement of drying time and weather conditions When required by the participating parties, the drying time shall be measured for paints and cold plastics. The drying time shall be determined in accordance with Annex D for every line that contains a measurement area (see 7.3) for further measurements. The drying time shall be reported together with an account of the weather conditions, including the ambient temperature, the road surface temperature, the relative air humidity and the wind speed as measured during application in accordance with Annex E. 6.5.3 Determination of the useful rate(s) of application and the rate(s) of consumption during application During the application of a road marking material, the useful rates of application of the material and of any drop-on or non drop-on material shall be determined in accordance with Annex C. When the rate(s) of consumption of material(s) during application are also required, they should be also determined in accordance with Annex C. NOTE The participating parties can agree to include a criterion for the acceptability of the application of a road marking material. For example, the application is rejected if any of the rates of application from the different lines deviates more than 10 % from the average rate of application, or if the average rate of application deviates more than, for example, 15 % from the rate of application given in the specification for the material. 7 Measurements related to performance 7.1 General Test lines shall only be washed when it is necessary to do so and by agreements between the participating parties. Washing shall be with a soft brush using clear water. The performance shall be then determined once the product is dry. When test lines have been washed, it shall be indicated on the test report. 7.2 Parameters The following parameters are relevant to this document: a) coefficient of retroreflected luminance, RL dry; SIST EN 1824:2011
The measurement area shall consist of at least two lines of the same road marking material. 7.3.2.3 Longitudinal pattern When introducing a measurement area, a 0,15 m wide column along the road shall be selected (see Figure 2) so that points within the column lie within longitudinal lines and have as close to the desired number of wheel passages as possible. The measurement area shall consist of at least 1 m of one line of one road marking material (see Figure 2). SIST EN 1824:2011
