Nordic certification system for road marking materials : Version 7:2020
- 2020
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- A Nordic certification system for road marking materials was introduced in 2015. The system is based on documented performance measurements of material samples applied on test fields on public roads. The certification system includes both flat (type I) and structured/profiled (type II) markings, antiskid materials (materials with enhanced friction), temporary markings (Denmark only), inlaid markings (Norway only), materials for hand application and materials with enhanced durability for illuminated high-traffic urban areas.Material tests are carried out at two test sites: one in Norway and one in Denmark. The tests fields are situated on public roads and the tested materials are thus exposed to real traffic conditions and to weather conditions representative for the Nordic countries. The materials are followed up by performance measurements during one or two years. The certification includes requirements on coefficient of retroreflected luminance RL under dry and wet conditions, luminance coefficient under diffuse illumination Qd, friction and colour coordinates. The number of wheel passages is measured at the test sites annually. The certification system includes material identification, which allows for future material sampling and analysis.The report describes the certification system and how it is applied in the Nordic countries. Procedures and methods that are used for application of materials and performance measurements are specified.

Method description – assessment of road marking materials used in contracts : Nordic certification system for road marking materials
- 2018
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- A Nordic certification system for road marking materials was introduced in 2015. In the first stage, the certification system applies to the countries of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. In these countries, a documented product approval will be required in order to use a road marking material on roads managed by the national road authorities. Product approval will be based on monitored and documented performance measurements of material samples applied on test fields on public roads.In order to be able to assess whether the (approved) road marking materials that are specified in contracts with a national road authority correspond to the materials that are applied on the roads, an assessment system will be introduced. The present report describes this assessment system.The assessment system prescribes that material samples shall be taken when road marking materials are applied on the roads. A selection of the samples will then be sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis. The report describes how the material samples are selected, collected and analysed, and how the result is reported. It also describes the contractor’s responsibilities related to sample collection and the required competences of the assessment organization.

In these countries, a documented product approval will be required in order to use a road marking material on roads managed by the national road authorities. Product approval will be based on monitored and documented performance measurements of material samples applied on test fields on public roads.The first round of material tests in Denmark started in autumn 2015. In all, 32 materials, out of which 24 were for certification and 8 for manufacturer’s internal test, were applied at the Danish test site in Hornbæk. In 2016, a new test site was established close to Gørlev, where another 22 materials were applied, 20 for certification and 2 for manufacturer’s internal test.The present report documents the follow-up performance measurements that were carried out in 2017, i.e. one year follow-up measurements for materials applied in 2016 and two years follow-up measurements for materials applied in 2015. The performance parameters include the coefficient of retroreflected luminance (RL) under dry and wet conditions, the luminance coefficient under diffuse illumination (Qd), the friction, and the chromaticity in daylight.

Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- A certification system for road marking materials, NordicCert, applies to Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. In these countries, a documented product approval is required to use a road marking material on roads managed by the national road authorities. Product approval is based on monitored and documented performance measurements of material samples applied on test fields on public roads. The materials are approved (certified) in relation to the number of wheel passages they will stand, with preserved performance. The certification system includes road marking materials for longitudinal and transverse road markings in categories with respect to colour (white, yellow), type (type I, type II, type II inlaid, antiskid, hand application, non-reflective with enhanced durability, and temporary) and thickness (0.4, 0.6, 1.5, 3 and 5 mm). The present report documents the follow-up performance measurements that were carried out at the test fields in 2021, i.e., one-year follow-up measurements for materials applied in 2020, two-years follow-up measurements for materials applied in 2019 and three-years follow-up measurements for materials applied in 2018. The performance parameters include the coefficient of retroreflected luminance (RL) under dry and wet conditions, the luminance coefficient under diffuse illumination (Qd), the friction, the chromaticity in daylight, and the chromaticity of retroreflected light (yellow materials, only). Out of the 44 materials applied at the Icelandic-Norwegian-Swedish test site in 2020, 29 fulfilled the performance requirements in at least one roll-over class P0–P4 after one year. Out of the 51 materials applied in 2019, 6 fulfilled the performance requirements in roll-over class P5 after two years. Out of the 42 materials applied in 2018, none fulfilled the performance requirements in roll-over class P5.5 after three years.
