Overview

De-icing agents are significant for winter maintenance on roads and other traffic areas. They can prevent or eliminate slippery surfaces. This Technical Specification describes the requirements for de-icing agents with different properties starting with de-icing agents according to EN 16811-1 and EN 16811-2, and those used for special purposes on roads. The test methods are included in this Technical Specification. The wide variety of products that may be used in winter maintenance - liquid or solid, natural or industrially produced substances - requires the definition of performance criteria that have to be met by the products. These criteria are used to evaluate the fitness for use of the de-icing products, taking into account all aspects relating to road user safety, environmental protection and road conditions. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 051-03-02 AA "Maschinen für den Straßenbetriebsdienst (Spiegelgremium für CEN/TC 151/WG 16 und CEN/TC 337)" ("Highway maintenance machines (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 151/WG 16 and CEN/TC 337)") of DIN Standards Committee Municipal Services (NKT).
