What is ECE104 Reglament?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]ECE104 is a regulation that establishes guidelines for the use of reflective safety markings on heavy goods vehicles<\/strong><\/a> (HGVs) operating throughout Europe.<\/p>\n

Since July 2011, all newly registered HGVs over 7.5 tonnes and trailers over 3.5 tonnes operating in the UK, are required by law to be fitted with homologated retro-reflective markings. These must clearly outline the rear and sides of the vehicle to make it visible for up to 1000 meters in low light conditions.<\/p>\n

ECE104 Regulation specifies the standard for the reflective materials used and where and how it must be positioned on the vehicle or trailer.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1549871240304{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column]
