The EN1317 European standard was developed within the framework of the Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC) and EN1317-5 serves as the basis for the CE marking of road safety systems, including barriers and guardrails, crash cushions, barrier extremities and transitions. While this has represented a major step forward in addressing 30-40% of road fatalities, the future of road safety must address new challenges.

Under the name ‘EN1317: A standard out of date?’, the article, co-authored by Mr. Wolf P. Zeplin, Chair of STA Technical Committee 2, and Mr. José F. Papí, STA Chairman, analyses several challenges to the future of EN1317 and road safety.
