BS EN 13201-2 is a European standard that serves technical specifications for kw, ensuring stable operations in different seasons and environments.
BS EN 13201-2 defines performance requirements which are specified as lighting classes for road lighting aiming at the visual needs of road users, and it considers environmental aspects of road lighting.
Note 1: Installed luminous intensity classes for the restriction of disability glare and control of obtrusive light and installed glare index classes for the restriction of discomfort glare are defined in the informative Annex A of BS EN 13201-2.
Note 2: Lighting of pedestrian crossings is discussed in the informative Annex B. Disability glare evaluation for conflict areas (C classes), and pedestrian and pedal cyclists (P classes) is discussed in the informative Annex C of BS EN 13201-2.
BS EN 13201-2 on the performance requirements for road lighting applies to:
By allowing pedestrians and automobiles to see each other, road lighting promotes safety. A lighting class is defined by a set of photometric requirements aiming at the visual needs of certain road users in certain types of road areas and environments. Fulfilment of performance requirements ensures safety and visibility in road applications.
BS EN 13201-2 provides users guidance on requirements for motorized traffic, conflict areas, pedestrians and pedal cyclists, appearance and environmental aspects, ensuring the operability and efficiency of road lightings.
BS EN 13201-2 provides users guidance on appearance and environmental aspects, ensuring sustainable energy consumption and efficiency in photometric requirements on roads. With obedience and compliance of BS EN 13201-2, users can develop and assess road lighting, ensuring operability, efficacy and longevity on roads.
