BS EN 1463-2:2000

National foreword
This British Standard is the official English language version of

EN 1463-2:2000. Together with BS 8442:2006, BS EN 12899-1:2001 and
BS EN 1463-1:1998, this British Standard supersedes BS 873-1:1983,
BS 873-2:1984, BS 873-4:1987, BS 873-5:1983, BS 873-6:1983 and
BS 873-7:1984 which are withdrawn.

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee
B/509, Road equipment, to Subcommittee B/509/2, Horizontal road markings and
road studs, which has the responsibility to:
Ð aid enquirers to understand the text;
Ð present to the responsible European committee any enquiries on the
interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed;
Ð monitor related international and European developments and promulgate
them in the UK.
A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request
to its secretary.
This standard is the second part of a two part standard for road studs prepared by
CEN. This standard partially supersedes BS 873-4 which has been declared
obsolescent.
