Standard EN 124 : 1994

Standard EN 124 introduces the notion of groups and classes of strength or resistance in accordance with the locations at which the products intended for the public road network will be used.

GROUP 1	GROUP 2	GROUP 3
Classe A15 minimum	Classe B125 minimum	Classe C250 minimum
Test load 15 KN.	Test load 125 KN.	Test load 250KN.
Areas for the specific use of pedestrians and cyclists.	Pavements, pedestrian zones and similar areas, car parking areas and multi-storey car parks.	Covers installed in the gutters running alongside pavements with a maximum of 50 cm on the roadway and 20 cm on the pavement.

GROUP 4	GROUP 5	GROUP 6
Classe D400 minimum	Classe E600 minimum	Classe F900 minimum
Test load 400 KN.	Test load 600 KN.	Test load 900 KN.
Traffic lanes, streets/roads (including pedestrian zones), hard shoulders and parking areas for all types of road vehicle.	Areas with high axle loads such as docks and airport runways.	Areas with especially high axle loads such as airport runways.

The standard states that the choice of appropriate class is the sole responsibility of the project principal.
If there is any doubt about which class to use, the higher class must always be chosen.

Standard EN 124

determines the technical characteristics of the products
requires production quality control equivalent to ISO 9001
requires quality control by a third party of the 2 previous provisions

PIL products meet the criteria of standard EN 124 and are certified by the BS quality label.

The European Standards implemented by the members of the CEN, the national standardisation institutes of the member countries of the CEN, are identical.

Standards NF EN 124, BS EN 124 and DIN EN 124 are therefore identical.
See the confirmation from the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN)

PIL has obtained a REACH compliance certificate.
