Introduction Specification RMS R145 is a performance type specification, containing the requirements for the initial, medium term and long term performance of the pavement markings. Under R145, the Contractor is responsible for choosing the pavement marking material appropriate for the particular application for any particular section of road in order to ensure that the performance requirements are satisfied. R145 will not specify which materials or application methods are to be used; this will be a matter for the Contractor and their material supplier(s) to decide. 2. Accredited Contractors All work carried out under R145 must be by pavement marking organisations accredited to the “Painting Contractors Certification Program” (PCCP) administered by CSIRO. 3. Information to Be Supplied Prior to commencement of work, the Contractor will be required to submit to RMS (for reference) a list of materials that they propose to use under the Contract. A list of the limitations on their use, such as seasonal constraints and incompatibility with other materials, will also need to be submitted. The Contractor must also provide evidence that the work will be carried out by a pavement marking organisation holding PCCP accreditation. 4. Performance Requirements The performance requirements in R145 are for dry and wet retroreflectivity, skid resistance, colour, colour change, luminance factor and degree of wear. Special performance requirements may be developed for markings that require different considerations; e.g. markings that contain mixed colourings, or profile longitudinal pavement marking, which are required to address particular safety concerns. The Contractor, in consultation with their material supplier(s), will still need to assure themselves that material issues, such as compatibility, have been resolved and that the application will satisfy the long term performance requirements.
