This European Standard specifies the requirements for the verification of the design of steel, aluminium, concrete and fibre reinforced polymer composite lighting columns by testing. It gives type tests and so does not cover testing for quality control purposes. It applies to lighting columns of nominal height (including any bracket) not exceeding 20 m. Special structural designs to permit the attachment of signs, overhead wires, etc. are not covered by this European Standard.
This European Standard includes a simplified method for testing steel and aluminium lighting columns. Refer to EN 40-4 for concrete lighting columns and to EN 40-7 for fibre reinforced polymer composite lighting columns.
NOTE For a more detailed test procedure, refer to Annex D of EN 1990:2002.
The requirements for lighting columns made from materials other than concrete, steel, aluminium or fibre reinforced polymer composite (for example wood, plastic and cast iron) are not specifically covered in this European Standard.
This European Standard includes performance requirements for horizontal loads due to wind. Passive safety and the behaviour of a lighting column under the impact of a vehicle are not addressed. Such lighting columns will have additional requirements (see EN 12767).
