Introduction
This standard comprises comprehensive and detailed requirements based on a scientific and
technical background developed in the COST323 action (Jacob, O’Brien and Jehaes, 2002). The
procedure for assessing the accuracy of a WIM system is flexible and general. It may use almost
any test plan, depending on the context and means available. The whole standard is based on a
statistical approach of the accuracy assessment, with tolerances which are the boundaries of
confidence intervals, and a level of confidence, reflecting the probability that an individual
measure lays in the specified tolerances or in the confidence interval. This level of confidence
can be specified by the users, depending on the application.
However, several users and WIM manufacturers expressed the need to have a simplified
procedure for common tests and applications, easier to implement and to understand. Therefore
a simplified procedure adapted to standard test plans and with a fixed level of confidence of
95 % was developed. Wherever possible, the detailed clauses of this standard were simplified to
allow common users to easily assess a WIM system accuracy.
When a simplified approach is available, the section concerned is duplicated as follows:
— Section title – Detailed procedure,
— Section title – Simplified procedure,
and they are numbered with consecutive numbers at the same level.
The clauses of the simplified procedure may be applied instead of those of the detailed
procedure, if respecting the conditions of application.
The simplified procedure mainly applies for the check of the accuracy of a WIM system
(Clause 10). The condition is to fix the confidence level at 95 %. The acceptance test can be done
using approximate analytical formula (Annex B, B.3.1) or one of the four standard test plans
proposed (Annex B, B.1)and charts (Annex B, B.2).
More in details:
— Clauses 1 to 5, 7 to 9 and 11 are common to the detailed and simplified procedures;
— in Clause 6 (Accuracy classes tolerances) the simplified procedure only deals with fixed
accuracy classes referred by a letter and a number (e.g. B(10)) as stated in 6.2, while the detailed
procedure also includes interpolated classes (6.1 and 6.3.4);
— the detailed procedure to check the accuracy by testing is given in 10.1, 10.3, 10.5 and 10.7,
while the simplified procedure is described in 10.2, 10.4, 10.6 and 10.8, using the standard test
plans given in the Annex B.

1 Scope
1.1 This standard specifies the requirements for installation, calibration, performance and
accuracy assessment, and test methods for Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) systems, that are used to
determine gross weights, axle and group-of-axle loads for road vehicles when they are weighed
in motion.
1.2 This standard applies to:
1.2.1 WIM systems installed on road infrastructure (including bridges), but not to the WIM
systems installed on-board of vehicles;
1.2.2 High speed WIM (HS-WIM) systems, i.e. systems installed in one or more traffic lane(s)
of a road, and operated automatically under normal traffic conditions, and to low speed WIM
(LS-WIM) systems, i.e. systems installed in a controlled weighing area, and operated under
controlled conditions;
1.2.3 WIM systems using either scales which are able to weigh standard masses statically, or
other sensors which may measure the loads indirectly;
1.2.4 on-site full WIM system performance assessment and model (type) approval, but
excludes laboratory (product) tests or tests on parts of systems (e.g. sensors only).
1.6 The scope of this standard covers all WIM applications, except trade.
NOTE For load enforcement of road vehicles, this standard or the OIML (International Organization
for Legal Metrology) international recommendation R 134-1 and 134-2 (OIML, 2004 and 2006) applies,
depending on the national requirements and legislation.
1.7 WIM systems used for trade are dealt with in the OIML recommendations R134-1 and
R134-2 (OIML, 2006 and 2004). These OIML recommendations apply to WIM systems installed
in controlled weighing areas, on a specified apron and where the vehicle speed is controlled.
They mainly apply to WIM systems composed of scales, which are capable of weighing standard
masses statically. The OIML recommendations are limited to the highest accuracy classes (0,2 to
10), with tolerances for 100 % of the measurements.
This standard applies to any WIM system, which may be installed either in a controlled weighing
area, or on a road open to traffic. These systems may use road sensors and bridge WIM.
This standard covers type approval testing, initial and in service testing.
This standard specifies the required performance and ability of WIM systems in general, but
does not aim to standardize products.
