1 Scope
This European Standard specifies methods to obtain representative samples of road marking materials for testing
and gives the appropriate test methods. The methods to obtain representative samples are described as
appropriate for the main product types, i.e. paint, cold plastics, thermoplastics, premix glass beads, drop-on
materials, preformed road markings and retroreflecting road studs.

NOTE This European Standard may apply to the verification and/or identification of road marking materials held
in stock, for example in a warehouse or at the manufacturer's storage facility, or for materials which require
checking prior to application.

2 Normative references

This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies (including amendments).

3 Definitions

For the purposes of this Standard, the following definitions apply:

3.1
original product container
the primary packaging of each batch of a road marking material.

3.2
intermediate bulk container (IBC)
container used as an intermediate size between bags and tins and bulk transport.


4 Sampling procedures

NOTE: Clause 4 specifies the procedure for the selection of original product containers and for obtaining
representative samples from a stock for subsequent inspection and testing.

4.1.1 General

4.1.1 When a series of original product containers to be examined can be identified as being from a single
batch, the number of containers to be selected for sampling shall be 1%. Not less than two and not more than five
containers shall be selected for sampling.

4.1.2 When a series of original product containers to be examined can be identified as being from different
batches, the sampling shall be organized as follows.

oSIST prEN 13459:2009
prEN 13459:2008 (E)
Determine the number of batches and refer to table 1 to obtain the number of batches to be selected for sampling.
The number of original product containers to be selected for sampling from each batch for testing shall be 1 %. Not
less than two and not more than five containers shall be selected for sampling for each batch.


4.1.3 When the consignment to be examined is not classified as being from different batches, or when the batch
information is not known, determine the number of containers and refer to table 1 to obtain the number of
containers to be selected for sampling.

Table 1 - Selection of batches or containers from a multi-batch stock

containers in consignment containers to be sampled

and thereafter at a rate of

n =
2

NOTE  Where the calculation of n does not yield an integer, the number shall be rounded up to
the next whole number.


The samples shall be labelled with the information required to accompany the sample as specified in annex A.

NOTE In order to avoid excessively large amounts of product being removed as samples it may be more
appropriate to take representative samples on the storage site. When removing reduced samples from containers,
consideration should be given to the amount required for testing (see 5.1). Containers of large capacity should be
sampled on the storage site by skilled personnel.

Samples removed for testing from original product containers shall be suitably packaged and stored in conditions in
accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.

4.2 Paint

A number (n) of original product containers shall be selected for sampling, at random, from the consignment or
stock (N) in accordance with 4.1.

Representative samples of paint shall be taken from each selected conta
