Foreword

This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Road
Engineering Standards Policy Committee. It is published in three Parts:
— Part 1: Specification for constituent materials and mixtures;
— Part 2: Specification for road performance;
— Part 3: Specification for application of material to road surfaces.
This Part of BS 3262 replaces BS 3262-1:1987 which is withdrawn.
There have been many changes in materials and methods of laying since the first
issue of this standard in 1960 and the basis of the standard has been changed to
include performance requirements. Part 1 specifies the composition and quality
control requirements of mixtures. Part 2 specifies the performance requirements
for type approval of the materials when they have been applied to the road
surface. Part 3 specifies the requirements for the application of material to the
road surfaces.
This edition introduces technical changes to bring the standard up-to-date but it
does not reflect a full review of the standard, which will be undertaken in due
course.
In this new edition, requirements for black thermoplastic material are now
included and synthetic resin binders are no longer limited to the hydrocarbon
type.
It was previously thought that the measurement of the luminance coupled with
the heat stability test would give a sufficient guarantee of the whiteness of a
marking. This is not necessarily the case as the luminance factor is a measure of
brightness and therefore work is now in hand to develop an ultra-violet light
ageing test and a yellowness index test for use in determining the whiteness of
the marking.
I
S The 1976 edition of the standard indicated that the skid resistance of a material
B which has been laid on the road surface would tend to increase once the
)
(c weathering of any resin film on the surface of the marking had occurred.
, Experience at a road trial site has shown that this is not necessarily the case and
y
p a test is being developed which will give an accurate indication of the change in
o
C skid resistance of a material with the passage of time and traffic. A minimum skid
d resistance value based on laboratory tests has been included in the standard.
lle A British Standard specification for solid glass beads has been published as
o
tr BS 6088 and glass beads used in road marking materials are now required to
n comply with that standard.
o
c The committee is considering the matter of the repeatability and reproducibility

This standard was confirmed in November 1995 on publication of

amendment No. 1. The changes incorporated did not reflect a full review of the
standard, but were those felt necessary to maintain its currency for the
foreseeable future pending its withdrawal and supersession by European
Standards currently in course of preparation.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
