Safer Sign and Luminaire Supports. Task F. Laboratory Acceptance Testing for Sign and Luminaire Supports. Volume I.

摘要

The report recommends a laboratory test procedure that can be used to test luminaires and sign supports. A discussion of past and present acceptance standards is given,along with a detailed study of analysis techniques that can be used to investigate the events of an impact. Automobile crush characteristics are reviewed with respect to their role in an impact and a subjective look at the human tolerance level is given. A laboratory test procedure is then defined along with criteria describing what is or is not acceptable. A detailed description of this testing provides a basis for determining the acceptability of a luminaire or sign support.
