scope:
The structural design of a lighting column shall be verified by calculation or if the manufacturer considers it necessary it can be verified by testing. This European Standard specifies the criteria to be used when verifying the structural design of a lighting column by type testing. It does not cover testing for quality control purposes. It applies to post top columns ≤ 20 m nominal height and to columns with brackets ≤ 18 m nominal height. It does not take into account effects caused by the shedding of vortices (Karman turbulence) nor effects caused by the attachment of signs, overhead wires, etc.
