Notes
Barrier Test Method
1. The test method for barriers shall be in two parts: the bedding-in cycle and the proof cycle. Barriers that do not fulfil the requirements of both parts shall be deemed to have failed the test.
2. The deflection measuring equipment shall be unaffected by any movement of the barriers, their supports, or the movements of personnel performing the test.
3. The deflections in the horizontal plane shall be measured at relevant locations; for example, at the centre of a barrier rail or the top of an upright.
4. The loading procedure adopted shall result in each component or part of any barrier being subject to levels of stress at least equal to the stresses that would occur were the structure subjected to the relevant uniformly distributed load at a design level of 1.1m.
Bedding-in Cycle
5. In order to allow for bedding-in, the barrier shall be loaded up to its horizontal imposed load as defined in the table above. The bedding-in load shall be applied in at least five equal increments and then removed. Deflections shall be monitored at each increment of the load cycle and upon removal of the load. The barrier may be considered to have satisfactorily completed this part of the test if, on removal of the load, the recovery is at least 75 per cent of the maximum deflection, as measured from the original position prior to loading, or if the permanent deflection is less than 2mm.
6. If the barrier fails to achieve this level of recovery it shall be considered to have failed the test unless there is a satisfactory explanation for the results.
Proof Cycle
7. The proof cycle shall consist of two consecutive applications of the proof load. The interval between each application shall be such as to enable complete unloading.
8. For crush barriers, the proof load is equal to 1.2 x the horizontal imposed load specified in item B of this Appendix.
9. For other barriers, the proof force is equal to 1.2 x the horizontal imposed load specified in item A of this Appendix.
10. The application of the proof load shall consist of five equal increments. The full proof load shall be maintained for five minutes and then removed. A record shall be kept of the deflection at each load increment, the deflection after the five-minute application of the full proof load, and the residual deflection after removal of the load. The procedure is then repeated.
11. If on the removal of the load after the second application, the recovery is at least 95 per cent in any measured deflection (as measured from the barrier position at the start of the proof test cycle - that is, after the bedding-in cycle), the barrier shall be considered to have satisfied the proof cycle loading requirement.
Further Considerations
12. Comparisons shall be made with the records available from previous testing of the barrier.
13. Comparisons shall also be made with the performance of other barriers of a similar type subjected to the same or similar tests. This is to establish whether there are indications of a reduction in overall performance, perhaps indicative of a developing weakness that necessitates either remedial action or more regular testing or inspection.
14. If the barrier satisfies the requirements of the testing procedure, but during that procedure doubt arises as to its safety, for any reason (including such matters as corrosion, distortion of connections and fittings, or cracking in the vicinity of the supports), a further detailed investigation shall be carried out. Unless the results of this detailed investigation remove the doubt, the barrier shall be deemed to have failed.
15. A barrier failing the test procedure shall be removed and replaced, or strengthened and then retested.
