SIST EN 12802:2011 is the Slovenian adoption of EN 12802:2011, published by SIST. It specifies laboratory methods for identifying road marking materials used in horizontal signalization, so manufacturers and test laboratories can check the composition and identity of paints, thermoplastics and cold plastics, and of related marking products.

What does SIST EN 12802:2011 specify?

SIST EN 12802:2011 specifies laboratory identification methods for road marking materials used in horizontal signalization. The standard says that not every test has to be run unless it is required, which matters in practice because users can select the methods that match the material and the purpose of the check.

The document is organized into clauses on scope, normative references, terms and definitions, sampling, test methods and test report. It then gives normative annexes A to H with the detailed methods.

AnnexWhat it covers
APaint - solids content
BPaint, thermoplastics and cold plastics - organic constituents
CPaint, thermoplastic and cold plastic - inorganic constituents
DPaint, thermoplastics and cold plastics - titanium(IV) dioxide content
EPaint, thermoplastics and cold plastics - glass bead content
FPaint and cold plastics - solvents
GPaint - viscosity, Krebs-Stormer method
HPaint, thermoplastics and cold plastics - ash content

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 12802:2011?

SIST EN 12802:2011 sets out how to sample the material, which test method to use for each product type, and how to judge the results against declared values. For a buyer or quality manager, the important point is that the standard is built around identification by measurement, not around a single mandatory test package.

Sampling and test selection

Clause 4 requires representative samples from storage or before application in accordance with EN 13459. Paints and cold plastics call for about 1 l of basic component, while thermoplastic powder is converted to a homogeneous solid mass before a representative sample is taken. This matters because the test results are only useful if the sample really represents the batch.

Alternative methods

Clause 5.1 allows alternative quantitative analytical methods if they give comparable values and at least the same repeatability as the standard method, shown in line with ISO 5725-2. In practice, laboratories can use their own validated equipment, but they must be able to defend the equivalence of the result.

Methods for paints, thermoplastics and cold plastics

Clauses 5.2 to 5.4 cover density, solids content, organic and inorganic constituents, titanium(IV) dioxide content, glass bead content, solvent content, viscosity and ash content. Annexes A to H give the detailed procedures where applicable, and linked standards are used for density and viscosity in some cases. This gives a practical identification profile for a marking material.

Related product groups

Clause 5.5 sends preformed road markings to EN 1790. Clauses 5.6 and 5.7 use EN 1424 and EN 1423 for premix glass beads, drop on glass beads and antiskid aggregates, including granulometry, refractive index, resistance to water and certain chemicals, defective beads and surface treatment. Clause 5.7 also requires separate testing of glass beads and antiskid aggregates before they are mixed.

Tolerances and declared values

Clause 5.8 sets tolerances and says initial test results must fall within those tolerances against the manufacturer’s declared values to verify identity. If values fall outside tolerance, the clause describes options such as stopping the test, repeating it, using new samples or revising the declared values. This is the practical decision point for acceptance or re-identification.

Test report

Clause 6 requires a test report that identifies the standard and annex used, the critical testing conditions, the results and the related uncertainty where applicable. That makes the report suitable for audits, supplier checks and technical file records.

What terms does SIST EN 12802:2011 define?

SIST EN 12802:2011 defines three material types in Clause 3 and uses several technical abbreviations in the test methods.

  • Paints - liquid products with binders, pigments, extenders, solvents and additives that form a cohesive film by evaporation, or by evaporation and chemical reaction.
  • Cold plastics - viscous, solvent-free products supplied in two or more components that harden only by chemical reaction after mixing.
  • Thermoplastics - solvent-free marking substances supplied in block, granular or powder form that are heated, applied molten and harden by cooling.
  • Infrared spectroscopy (IR) - used to identify organic and inorganic constituents by their spectra.
  • Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) - the instrument used in Annex B and Annex C to record spectra over the stated infrared range.
  • Volatile organic compound (VOC) - used in EN ISO 11890-2 for identifying the binder type of cold plastics.
  • Titanium(IV) dioxide (TiO2) - a measured inorganic component of the marking material’s inorganic fraction.

Who uses SIST EN 12802:2011?

SIST EN 12802:2011 is used by road marking material manufacturers, quality control laboratories, test houses and technical buyers. They use it to identify material composition, compare declared and measured values, check incoming batches, and support product verification for road equipment and road construction materials.

What changed in SIST EN 12802:2011 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 12802:2011 supersedes EN 12802:2000.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 12802:2011?

SIST EN 12802:2011 relies on several companion standards for sampling and specific material tests.

  • EN 13459 - sampling and testing of road marking materials
  • EN 1423 - drop on materials, including glass beads and antiskid aggregates
  • EN 1424 - premix glass beads
  • EN 1790 - preformed road markings
  • EN ISO 11890-2 - VOC content determination used for cold plastics binder identification
  • EN ISO 15528 - sampling of paints, varnishes and raw materials
  • ISO 5725-2 - repeatability and reproducibility of measurement methods
  • EN ISO 2811-1 - density of paints and varnishes, used for paint density
  • EN ISO 2811-2 - density by immersed body method, used for thermoplastics and cold plastics
  • EN ISO 2555 - apparent viscosity by Brookfield method, listed in the bibliography for related viscosity work

What does the SIST EN 12802:2011 document contain?

The document contains practical laboratory procedures, not field performance requirements. Annex A gives a gravimetric solids-content method, Annex B gives extraction and infrared-based identification of organic constituents, and Annex C uses the ashing residue for inorganic identification. Annex D describes a wet-chemical titration for TiO2, Annex E separates glass beads by density, Annex F identifies solvents by gas chromatography, Annex G gives the Krebs-Stormer viscosity method, and Annex H gives the ash-content method.

It also includes Figure G.1 and Figure G.2 for the viscosimeter setup and rotor, Table 1 for tolerances, and calculation formulas in the annexes.

Paint – Test method for the determination of the solids content A.1 Principle The volatile constituents of the paint are evaporated at 105 °C. The residual solids are weighed and the solids content calculated.
A.2 Apparatus a) Cooling equipment, refrigerator or water bath with thermostat at approximately + 10 °C; b) porcelain dishes with a diameter of approximately 40 mm an a high of 20 mm to 30 mm; c) analytical balance, with an accuracy of 0,001 g, with zero point correction; d) warming cupboard, with forced fresh air ventilation and flame-proof interior capable of being heated to
105 °C ± 2 °C; e) desiccator, with drying agent, e.g. silica gel. A.3 Reagents Thinner consisting of a suitable solvent / thinner as recommended by the manufacturer. A.4 Procedure A.4.1 Carry out two determinations. A.4.2 Mark porcelain plates with numbers. Record the mass of the empty plates (L) to the nearest 0,001 g. Place approximately 2 g of the paint, pre-cooled to 10 °C and homogenized, in the plate with a spoon. Weigh to the nearest 0,001 g (mass M1).
A.4.3 Place the plates containing the sample in a warming cupboard at a temperature of 105 °C ± 2 °C and store there for at least 3 h or until constant mass is reached. Constant mass is reached when, after the sample has been in the warming cupboard for a further 1,5 h, the mass loss is less than 0,2 % of the initial mass. Cool the plate to room temperature in the desiccator, and weigh to the nearest 0,001 g. SIST EN 12802:2011

Paint, thermoplastics and cold plastics –
Test method for the determination and identification of organic constituents B.1 Principle Separation of the binder, insoluble organic and inorganic constituents from the specimen by solvent extraction, centrifuging and combustion. The binder type of paints and thermoplastics is identified by IR spectra using a potassium bromide (KBr) pellet or window.
The binder type of cold plastics is identified using EN ISO 11890-2, Paints and varnishes
Determination of volatile organic compound (VOC)
Part 2: Gaschromatographic method (ISO 11890-2:2006). The inorganic constituents are kept for further IR examination (Annex C), determination of titanium dioxide (Annex D) and the glass bead content (Annex E). B.2 Apparatus a) centrifuge, high-speed, min 10 000g1);
b) centrifuge bowls, steel bowls or glass tubes, each with a capacity of 80 cm3; c) spatula; d) warming cupboard, with forced ventilation, capable of being heated to 105 °C ± 10 °C; e) rotary evaporator; f) glass flask, with a capacity of 500 ml, with ground glass neck; g) infrared spectrometer, automatically recording FTIR spectrometer, range 4000 cm-1 to 400 cm-1 with an optical resolving power better than 5 cm-1 throughout the spectral range using an ordinate with a scale of 0 % to 100 % transmission. h) analytical balance, with an accuracy of 0,001 g, with zero point correction; i) two erlenmeyer flasks of heat resistant glass, 250 ml or 300 ml capacity; j) electric muffle furnace, adjustable to 450 °C ± 25 °C; k) desiccator, with drying agent, e.g. silica gel; l) ultrasonic dissolver or similar device.
1) g equals 9,81 m x s-2. SIST EN 12802:2011

 for cold plastics: ethyl acetate;  acetone. B.4 Procedure B.4.1 Separation of binder Weigh the centrifuge bowls to the nearest 0,01 g (W1). Weigh a portion of approximately at least 10 g to the nearest 0,01 g together with the bowl (W2).
Place a portion of the marking material, carefully homogenized, in a centrifuge tube. Add approximately 25 ml of an appropriate solvent (see B.3). Seal the tube with a stopper and, only for thermoplastic, allow to stand overnight. After standing, stir the contents of the tube thoroughly with a spatula and centrifuge the mixture at 10 000g to 15 000g for 20 min. Decant the liquid phase into the glass flask. Thin the solid phase with a further 25 ml of solvent, stir again with the spatula, rinse and centrifuge again. Repeat the procedure three times or until the liquid supernatant is of clear colour. Use a highly volatile solvent the third time (such as acetone). Expose the centrifuge bowls containing the solid phase to the air for 5 min and dry in the warming cupboard for approximately 2 h.
Cool down the tubes in a desiccator and reweigh them to the nearest 0,01 g (W3). For dispersions do the extraction with tetrahydrofurane and centrifuge at a low speed of about 1000g, as high speeds can throw out high molecular components of the binder. B.4.2 Preparation of spectra Concentrate the solutions obtained in B.4.1 down to about 20 ml in the 500 ml glass flask in a rotary evaporator.
For recording the IR spectrum of the binder of a road marking material, use the binder solutions obtained in B.4.2. Coat the cuvette window or the potassium bromide (KBr) pellet (both referred to as 'pellet' below) evenly with a specimen of the solution. Dip a previously prepared pellet into the liquid obtained from the appropriate extraction and coat it evenly with a specimen of the solution. As the solvent evaporates, examine the pellet to make sure that the film formed on it is uniform and homogeneous. There shall be no inhomogeneity or separation. In order to remove the solvent completely, store the coated pellet in a warming cupboard at 60 °C ± 2 °C until no bands of solvent are identifiable. Place the pellet in the sample holder of the IR spectrometer and record the IR spectrum. Keep the tracing as a reference. SIST EN 12802:2011
