The standard UNE EN 1317-5 on permanent concrete barriers requires the CE marking on all types of vehicle containment systems installed either as replacements or on new sites.
The CE marking must be made under system 1, whereby the manufacturer of the concrete barriers must be certified by an external company that verifies and guarantees compliance with the requirements indicated in the reference standard. Through the CE marking, the manufacturers certify that they comply with the provisions of the new standard UNE EN 1317-5 and the essential requirements of the European Directive. Therefore, the CE marking of the vehicle containment systems is a mandatory requirement for their sale inside the European Economic Area.
