Compliance-Überblick

Dieser Überblick ist derzeit nur auf Englisch verfügbar.

Geltungsbereich und Anwendbarkeit

This standard applies to the design, production, and use of safety color signs for tactile sticks (also known as white canes) and deaf-blind sticks. It specifically regulates the visual safety markings and does not cover the general technical conditions of the sticks, which are addressed in GB/T 16930.2. This standard is mandatory for all manufacturers producing tactile sticks for the Chinese market.

Technische Anforderungen

The standard specifies the safety color signs for orientation canes used by visually impaired individuals. It outlines the color patterns and retroreflective material requirements for both standard tactile sticks and deaf-blind sticks. Chapter 4 of this standard contains mandatory requirements for color and retroreflective performance. For standard tactile sticks, the design must feature a white background with a single perpendicular red circular stripe located in the upper portion of the lower third of the stick body. The red portion must utilize retroreflective materials, such as retroreflective sheeting. For deaf-blind sticks, the design requires alternating red and white circular stripes of equal width, with a minimum of four segments. Furthermore, the standard establishes chromaticity performance limits for the red and white colors used, ensuring the color coordinates fall within specific predefined ranges. It also sets minimum thresholds for the luminance factor and the coefficient of retroreflection of the retroreflective materials to guarantee visibility under low-light conditions.

Prüfverfahren

The standard references several established testing methodologies to verify compliance. Chromaticity performance testing for ordinary materials is conducted according to the methods specified in GB/T 3979. For retroreflective materials, testing uses the CIE standard illuminant D65 with a geometric condition of 45°a:0°, also following GB/T 3979. Photometric performance testing, specifically for measuring the coefficient of retroreflection, is conducted in accordance with JT/T 690. Manufacturers must ensure their testing protocols align with these specific referenced standards to achieve compliance.

Häufige Fragen

What products are regulated under GB 16930.1-2014?

It applies to the safety color signs and retroreflective markings of tactile sticks (white canes) and deaf-blind sticks used by visually impaired individuals.

Is GB 16930.1-2014 a mandatory standard?

Yes, Chapter 4 of the standard, which covers the requirements for safety color signs, chromaticity performance, and photometric performance, is mandatory. The remaining chapters are recommended.

How does GB 16930.1-2014 differ from GB/T 16930.2?

GB 16930.1-2014 specifically regulates the safety color signs and retroreflective visibility requirements, whereas GB/T 16930.2 covers the general technical conditions and physical specifications of the tactile sticks.
