Limitations and Warnings
Trinity Highway, in compliance with NCHRP Report 350,
contracts with ISO 17025 A2LA accredited testing
laboratories to perform crash tests, evaluate tests, and
submit the test results to the FHWA for review.
CASS
®
S4(29)
has been deemed eligible by FHWA as
meeting the requirements and guidelines of NCHRP
Report 350, Test Level 3. These tests typically evaluate
product performance defined by NCHRP Report 350
involving a range of vehicles on roadways, from
lightweight cars (approx. 800 kg [1800 lb.]) to a full size
pickup trucks (approx. 2,000 kg [4,400 lb.]) at 100 kph
[62 mph]
CASS ® S4(29) is tested pursuant to the test matrix
criteria of NCHRP Report 350 TL-3 as designated by
FHWA. The FHWA tests are not intended to represent
the performance of systems when impacted by every
vehicle type or in every impact condition existing on
the roadway. Every departure from the roadway is a
unique event.
Trinity Highway expressly disclaims any warranty or
liability for injury or damage to persons or property
resulting from any impact, collision or harmful contact with
its products, other vehicles, or nearby hazards or objects
by any vehicle, object or person, whether or not the
products were assembled in consultation with Trinity
Highway or by third parties.
CASS
® S4(29) is intended to be assembled, delineated,
and maintained within specific state and federal guidelines.
It is important for the state/specifying agency specifying
the use of a highway product to select the most appropriate
product configuration for site specifications.
The state/specifying agency’s careful evaluation of the
site layout, vehicle population type and speed, traffic
direction, and visibility are some of the elements that
require evaluation in the selection of a highway
product. For example, curbs could cause an untested
effect on an impacting vehicle.
After an impact with the system, all debris must be
removed from the area immediately in compliance with the
most applicable state/specifying agency policy. The
specified
CASS
® S4(29) must be evaluated and restored
to its original specified condition or replaced as the
state/specifying agency determines/requires, as soon as
possible. Product selection, approval, proper installation,
and maintenance of any highway product is the sole
responsibility of the state/specifying agency.
