Clinton, Iowa 52732 

Dear Mr. 'Rutenbeck: 

This letter is in response to your June 1, 2016 request for the Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA) to review a roadside safety device, hardware, or system for eligibility for 

reimbursement under the Federal-aid highway program. This FHWA letter of eligibility is 

assigned FHWA control number WZ-348 and is val id until a subsequent letter is issued by 

FH WA that expressly references this device. 

Decision 

The following devices are eligible, with details provided in the form which is attached as an 

integral part ofthis letter: 

• Custom-Pak Vertical Panel With or Without Warning Light 

Scope of this Letter 

To be found eligible for Federal-aid funding, new roadside safety devices should meet the crash 

test and evaluation criteria contained in the American Association ofState Highway and 

Transportation Officials' Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH). However, the 

FHWA, the Department ofTransportation, and the United States Government do not regulate the 

manufacture ofroadside safety devices. Eligibility for reimbursement under the Federal-aid 

highway program does not establish approval, certification or endorsement of the device for any 

particular purpose or use. 

This letter is not a determination by the FHWA, the Department ofTransportation, or the United 

States Government that a vehicle crash involving the device will result in any particular outcome, 

nor is it a guarantee ofthe in-service perfonnance ofthis device. Proper manufacturing, 

installation, and maintenance are required in order for this device to function as tested. 
2 

This finding of eligibility is limited to the crashworthiness ofthe system and does not cover other 

structural features, nor conformity with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. 

Eligibility for Reimbursement 

Based solely on a review of crash test results and certifications submitted by the manufacturer, 

and the crash test laboratory, FHWA agrees that the device described herein meets the crash test 

and evaluation criteria of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation 

Officials' Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH). Therefore, the device is eligible for 

reimbursement under the Federal-aid highway program if installed under the range oftested 

conditions. 

Name of system: Custom-Pak Vertical Panel 


Type ofsystem: Work Zone Vertical Panel 


Test Level: MASH Test Level 3 (TL3) 


Testing conducted by: KARCO Inc 


Date of request: June 1, 2016 


Date initially acknowledged: June 15, 2016 


Date of completed package: November 17, 2016 


FHWA concurs with the recommendation ofthe accredited crash testing laboratory as stated 

within the attached form. 

Full Description of the Eligible Device 

The device and supporting documentation, including reports ofthe crash tests or other testing 

done, videos of any crash testing, and/or drawings ofthe device, are described in the attached 

form. 

Notice 

Ifa manufacturer makes any modification to any of their roadside safety hardware that has an 

existing eligibility letter from FHW A, the manufacturer must notify FHW A ofsuch modification 

with a request for continued eligibility for reimbursement. The notice of all modifications to a 

device must be accompanied by: 

• 	 Significant modifications - For these modifications, crash test results must be submitted 

with accompanying documentation and videos. 

• 	 Non-signification modifications - For these modifications, a statement from the crash test 

laboratory on the potential effect ofthe modification on the ability ofthe device to meet 

the relevant crash test criteria. 

FHW A's determination of continued eligibility for the modified hardware will be based on 

whether the modified hardware will continue to meet the relevant crash test criteria. 

Any user or agency relying on this eligibility letter is expected to use the same designs, 

specifications, drawings, installation and maintenance instructions as those submitted for review. 
3 

You are expected to certify to potential users that the hardware furn ished has the same chemistry, 

mechanical properties, and geometry as that submitted for review, and that it will meet the test 

and evaluation criteria ofthe MASH. 

lssuance of this letter does not convey property rights of any sort or any exclusive privilege. This 

Jetter is based on the premise that information and reports submitted by you are accurate and 

correct. We reserve the right to modify or revoke this letter if: ( I) there are any inaccuracies in 

the information submitted in support of your request for this letter, (2) the qualification testing 

was flawed , (3) in-service performance or other in formation reveals safety problems, (4) the 

system is significantly different from the version that was crash tested, or (5) any other 

infonnation indicates that the letter was issued in error or otherwise does not reflect full and 

complete information about the crashworthiness ofthe system. 

Standard Provisions 

• 	 To prevent misunderstanding by others, this letter of eligibility designated as FHWA 

control number WZ-348 shall not be reproduced except in full. This letter and the test 

documentation upon which it is based are public information. All such letters and 

documentation may be reviewed upon request. 

• 	 This letter shall not be construed as authorization or consent by the FHWA to use, 

manufacture, or sell any patented system fo r which the applicant is not the patent holder. 

• 	 If the subj ect device is a patented product it may be considered to be proprietary. lf 

proprietary systems are specified by a highway agency for use on Federal-aid projects: 

(a) they must be supplied through competitive bidding with equally suitable unpatented 

items; (b) the highway agency must certify that they are essential for synchronization 

with the existing highway facilities or that no equally suitable alternative exists; or (c) 

they must be used for research or for a distinctive type of construction on relative ly short 

sections ofroad for experimental purposes. Our regulations concerning proprietary 

products are contained in Title 23, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 635.4 11.

Test Date 2-15-2016 - KARCO Test #TRP36039-04-NC Complete Report. MASH Test 

3-71 involves a 1100C passenger car 

Impacting the vertical panel at a nominal 

speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) and a critical 

Impact angle of o· and 90° with the 

centerline of the vehicle aligned with the 

centerline of the vertical panel. This test is 

primarily intended to evaluate behavior of 

the vertical panel during high-speed 

impacts. 

For this test a 201 OKia Rio weighing 2,471.2 

lbs (1,121.0 kg) impacted two vertical panels 

spaced 65.5 ft. (20.0 m) apart. The first 

Impacted panel was set at 0° and was 

Impacted at a velocity of 61.33 mph (98.70 

km/h). The second panel was set at 90° and 

was impacted at a velocity of 60.16 mph 

(96.82 km/h). Upon Impact, both the 0° and 

90° panels detached from their respective 

bases and Impacted the vehicle's hood. The 

mounted warning light detached from the 

panel oriented at 0°. The test vehicle 

sustained damage to the hood and front 

bumper as a result of the impacts. 

The vertical panel passed all evaluation 

criteria for MASH Test 3-71. 

PASS 

3-72 (2270P) 

Test Date 2-15-2016 - KARCO Test #TRP36039-08-NC. MASH Test 3-72 Involves a 

2270P pickup truck impacting the vertical 

panel at a nominal speed of 62 mph (100 

km/h) and a critical Impact angle of 0° and 

90° with the centerline of the vehicle 

aligned with the centerline of the vertical 

panel. This test Is primarily Intended to 

evaluate behavior of the vertical panel 

during high-speed Impacts. 

For this test a 2010 RAM 1500 weighing 

5,103.7 lbs (2,315.0 kg) Impacted two 

vertical panels spaced 65.6 ft. (20.0 m) apart. 

The first impacted panel was set at o• and 

was impacted at a velocity of 59.95 mph 

(96.48 km/h). The second panel was set at 

90° and was impacted at a velocity of 59.51 

mph (95.77 km/h). Upon Impact, both the 0° 

and 90° panels detached from their 

respective bases and the panels sustained 

permanent deformation. The test vehicle 

sustained damage to the hood as a result of 

the Impacts. 

The vertical panel passed all evaluation 

criteria for MASH Test 3-72.
