What is the EN12352 safety standard?
Definition
You may well have come across the safety standard EN12352 before, but what does this standard actually entail? This European standard specifies the requirements for LED flashers. LED flashers may not be used on public roads without compliance with the EN 12352 safety standard and the EN 50293 performance truck. The safety standards have been drawn up by CROW. CROW stands for the Centre for Regulation and Research in Civil Engineering, Water Management, Road Construction and Traffic Engineering.
Most people participate in traffic every day, and without any rules, road safety will deteriorate enormously. This is why it is important to have requirements and rules regarding public roads. These rules improve road safety.
What are LED flashers?
As previously mentioned, LED flashers require safety standardisation EN12352, but what exactly are LED flashers and what are they for? LED flashers are warning lights that emit a continuous or regularly intermittent light of a single colour. LED flashers aim to inform, warn or guide road users. These lights are often used in action frames and action windows that are often deployed in situations where road works are taking place. Slow-moving vehicles also sometimes use flashers. In this situation, the signs then indicate that you can pass on the left or what the upcoming situation will be. The signs are for safety and should therefore stand out, which is where the LED flashers come in handy with their bright light.
