The UN regulation ECE R150 that defines colour, reflective class and the mandatory E-mark for conspicuity tape. The legal and technical foundation for compliant marking on heavy goods vehicles.
→Mandatory
Weight, length and width decide whether conspicuity marking is mandatory and which type (full, partial or line). Clear thresholds for N2/N3 goods vehicles and O3/O4 trailers.
→Types
Full contour marking, partial contour or line marking: which suits your truck, trailer or special body and when each is legally required under ECE R150 and R48.
→Approved
E approval mark repeated at intervals, Class C reflectivity, 50-60 mm width: how to recognise tape with verifiable approval that is inspection-ready when correctly applied.
→Countries
