Overview
EN 1424:1997 is a European Standard (CEN) that sets out laboratory product control tests and qualification procedures for premix glass beads used in road marking materials. The standard defines the essential physical, chemical and surface characteristics to be evaluated during production and certification. EN 1424 applies to glass beads incorporated into marking products before application (premix) and does not cover beads used solely as a filler.
Key topics and requirements
The standard focuses on measurable properties and quality assurance processes. Main technical topics include:
- Granulometry (particle size distribution) - requirements and test methods to characterize bead size ranges used in premix systems.
- Refractive index of the glass - evaluation of optical properties important for bead performance.
- Chemical resistance - laboratory checks to ensure beads withstand contact with marking binders and environmental agents.
- Quality and product control - procedures for sampling, batch testing and acceptance criteria to maintain consistent production.
- Surface treatments - assessment of coatings or treatments applied to beads that influence adhesion, dispersion in the binder and long-term performance.
EN 1424 describes the scope of laboratory testing and the qualification pathway a premix bead product should follow to demonstrate conformity with these characteristics.
Applications
EN 1424:1997 is used to ensure that premix glass beads meet consistent quality and performance expectations in road marking systems. Practical applications include:
- Quality control during manufacture of premix glass beads
- Material qualification by road marking producers integrating beads into paints, thermoplastics or cold-applied materials
- Pre-purchase specification and acceptance testing by procurement departments and highway authorities
- Reference for testing laboratories performing batch certification and compliance checks
Using EN 1424 helps stakeholders reduce variability in marking performance and supports safer, more durable road markings.
Who uses this standard
Typical users include:
- Glass bead manufacturers and product development teams
- Road marking material producers and applicators
- Independent testing and certification laboratories
- Public works agencies, transport authorities and procurement officers responsible for material specifications
