After defining the scope and terms used in the standard, requirements are given for materials to be used in the construction of both reflective and non-reflective road studs and also for their construction. Details are given of the type testing and the production testing required and also of the method of marking. Appendix A gives sampling procedures and includes a table listing the tests and number of studs required for each. Appendices B-H give details of tests for the following: - colour, reflectivity, accelerated wear, corrosion resistance, resilience, adhesives for both bonded studs and bonding studs, shear strength, skinning and storage stability; Appendix J gives details of the performance testing of studs uner traffic and Appendix K gives recommendations for the installation of bonded studs including preparation of the road surface, installation of the stud and method of using the adhesive. /TRRL/
