PD CEN/TS 16811-3 discusses other solid and liquid de-icing agents of winter maintenance equipment. PD CEN/TS 16811-3 describes the requirements for deicing agents with different properties from de-icing agents according to EN 16811-1 and EN 16811-2, and which are used for specific services on roads. The testing methods are included in the PD CEN/TS 16811-3.
The multitude of products that can be used in winter maintenance - liquid or solid, natural, or industrially produced substances – requires the definition of performance criteria with which the products must comply. These criteria are used to assess the usability of the de-icing products while taking into consideration all aspects of the safety of the road user, of the protection of the environment and of the road conditions.
PD CEN/TS 16811-3 on other solid and liquid de-icing agents is useful for:
PD CEN/TS 16811-3 provides you with the general specifications and performance criteria of other solid and liquid de-icing agents than chlorides of sodium, calcium, and magnesium, hereinafter referred to products, which are used with their properties for specific uses in winter service on roads and other traffic areas, apart from runways and parking areas of aircraft.
PD CEN/TS 16811-3 provides you with test methods to control them. The products include inorganic and organic de-icing agents, and mixtures of chlorides of sodium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium with organic and inorganic components which are intended for special properties like inhibition of corrosion, enhanced melting capacity or improved spreading pattern.
