It is suitable for complex network environment and has gradually become an important channel for information exchange between road management departments and road users.

The tests of EN 12966 series standards involve electrical safety, temperature and humidity environment, solar radiation, gas corrosion, water and dust prevention, vibration and impact, electromagnetic compatibility, optical display characteristics, brightness, brightness ratio, visual angle, uniformity, color and stroboscopic, etc., and put forward comprehensive and strict test requirements for product safety, environment and performance. In addition, EN 12966 also puts forward comprehensive requirements for product materials, mechanical structures, labels, instructions, service life and harmful substances. EN 12966-3 is a standard for the production control procedure of VMS, which specifies the requirements from raw material control to production process test, batch test and annual test. Meanwhile, it also puts forward comprehensive audit requirements from product design and development, personnel, equipment, storage, nonconforming product management, document control, customer service, etc.
