Helping You See Clearly Where It Counts

R104

R104 conspicuity tape is designed for trucks, trailers and other vehicles requiring conspicuity marking mandated by the ECE 104 Regulation. R104 offers bright colors with excellent long range that enhance reflectivity in low light or poor weather conditions.

Your fleet will have night-time recognition and added safety while on the road. R104 is quick and easy to apply with a strong adhesive that will securely adhere to trucks and trailers. R104 will withstand most industrial cleaning processes, including high-pressure power washing. The added durability and resistance to peeling will ensure a continual compliance. Making safety a priority will result in fewer accidents creating less downtime for fleet repairs, saving thousands on repair costs.

WHERE TO APPLY

Minimum 80% of the length of the vehicle (excl. the length of the cabin must be marked. In special cases, this can go down to 60% for difficult applications or 40% for, especially difficult applications.

The lower line of the marking tape must be placed minimum 250mm from the ground and in a height of maximum 1500mm. This can in special cases be extended to 2500mm.

The length of the upper corner markings must be minimum 250mm. Upper corner markings should be applied as high as practical but within 400mm of the upper extremity of the vehicle. In cases where a top corner marking is not possible due to the construction of the vehicle, a line marking on its own is allowed.

A full contour marking is required to the rear, unless this is impossible due to vehicle construction. Maximum height requirements for the lower horizontal line are the same as indicated for the markings to the side, as hereunder.
