Overview

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, etcetera are not covered by this standard. This standard includes a simplified method for testing steel and aluminium lighting columns. EN 40-4 deals with concrete lighting columns and EN 40-7 deals with fibre reinforced polymer composite lighting columns. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-10-29 AA "Lichtmaste und Leuchtenansatzstutzen (SpA zu CEN/TC 50)" ("Lighting columns and spigots (national mirror committee for CEN/TC 50)") of the Building and Civil Engineering Standards Committee (NABau) at DIN.
