Foreword
This Published Document was prepared by Technical Committee B/509/50,
Street lighting columns. It gives guidance on the use of BS EN 40-3-1 and
BS EN 40-3-3, which were prepared by CEN/TC 50, Lighting columns and
spigots.
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by Amendment No. 1 is
indicated in the text by tags !".
This Published Document is not to be regarded as a British Standard.
PD 6547:2004+A1:2009, supersedes PD 6547:2004, which is withdrawn.
BS EN 40 is a more complicated design standard than BS 5649, the British
Standard which specifies the design of lighting columns, so this Published
Document gives guidance on the additional information that is required to
allow a suitable lighting column to be designed.
This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.

1 Scope
This Published Document gives guidance and background information to specifiers and manufacturers of
lighting columns on the use of BS EN 40-3-1 and BS EN 40-3-3, which specify the design of lighting
columns. In particular, it gives guidance on the information which the specifier is required to give to the
manufacturer to allow a suitable lighting column to be designed, such as the topography factor, site wind
speed, site altitude and terrain category, which are used to determine the design wind pressure.
2 Background information on the design wind loadings in EN 40-3-1
The current standard for deriving the wind loads on a lighting column is BS EN 40-3-1:2000, which
superseded BS 5649-6:1982 and requires that the wind speed information be derived from
DD ENV 1991-2-4. The reference in BS EN 40-3-1 to DD ENV 1991-2-4 is out of date
and is to be revised at the earliest opportunity to BS EN 1991-1-4 .
Wind speed data for the design of lighting columns should be taken from the National Annex of
BS EN 1991-1-4:2005, Figure NA.1.
3 Wind pressures
3.1 General
BS EN 40-3-1:2000, 3.2.1, specifies an equation for calculating the characteristic wind pressure, q(z),
in N/m
2
for any particular height above ground, z:
q(z) = f Ce
(z)
q
(10)
where:
3.2 Reference wind pressure q
(10)
NOTE 1 Many administrative authorities are able to select one value of V
b,map
their boundaries. In the interests of standardization, administrative authorities may select a maximum altitude to be used in
specifications that cover the majority of lighting column locations within their boundaries. A table of such altitudes by
administrative authority is given in Annex A.
q
(10)
is the reference wind pressure;
is a factor depending on the column size;
is a factor depending on the dynamic behaviour;
f is a topography factor, which is taken as 1 unless otherwise specified or where a lighting column

is installed on a slope with a height of less than 5 m;
Ce
(z)
is a factor depending on the terrain of the site and the height above ground z.

3.3 Exposure coefficient Ce
(z)

3.3.1 Terrain categories
The exposure coefficient Ce
(z)
is a factor varying with height above ground and is dependent on the terrain
category of the site where a lighting column is to be installed, as determined by reference to
BS EN 40-3-1:2000, Table 1.
Where specific information about terrain is available for the site where a lighting column is to be installed,
this should be specified to the manufacturer.
Lighting columns of nominal height below 8 m are generally installed in less exposed locations more
suitable to the terrain category III classification. Therefore, if the terrain category is not specified it is
recommended that the terrain categories given in Table 1 should be used, howovor,IfshouIdbonofod

!NOTE 1 The value of r in BS EN 40 is specified as 1.25 kg/m
3
however, this will be changed to bring it into line with
BS EN 1991-1-4 Part 1.4, General actions Wind Actions NA 2.18, Clause 4.5(1), Note 2 Value to be used for air density
p = 1.226 kg/m
3
.
NOTE 2 The use of rationalized wind loading factors should be limited to a maximum site altitude of 250 m above sea level. For sites
above this height expert guidance should be sought.
NOTE 3 For columns in elevated situations, where special measures are not deemed necessary (see 3.3.2 and 3.3.3), the wind
loading factor may be increased by the ratio of the wind pressure at a height of 10 m above the column flange and the wind pressure
at 10 m above ground level, calculated in accordance with BS EN 40-3-1:2000, 3.2.2.
NOTE 4 The rationalized wind loading factors in Annex A are all stated at 10 m above ground level, and for a mean return period of
25 years."
