Terminals

This is an energy-absorbing road restraint system, installed on a safety barrier, with the aim of reducing the severity of a collision with a passenger vehicle.

• Terminals protect the start of a safety barrier and therefore reduce a possible frontal or lateral impact.
• The strongest products - intended for motorways - have been tested at an impact speed of 110 km/h.

• Checks whether all necessary crash tests have been carried out in accordance with PTV 869.
• Traceability of the product to the production unit.
• Sample-based inspections at the construction site, including verification of the durability, geometry and assembly of the components.

A durable identification label is affixed to the product by the installer after installation, stating the BENOR mark and the 8-digit quick code. The product sheet can be looked up on the extranet.copro.eu using this code.

• Type testing of the products conforms to European test standards and PTV 869.
• The products are randomly inspected at the construction site.
• The attachment of the product to the safety barrier is verified.
• The durability of the product is checked.
• Inspection of the parts used. Traceability is guaranteed by the producer.
• Inspection of the assembly of the products in the production unit.
