About ECE104

• ECE104 is a regulation that establishes guidelines for the use of retro-reflective safety markings on the rear and sides of heavy goods vehicles operating throughout Europe
• It requires that homologated retroreflective markings be applied to rigid, curtain and tanker vehicles with a mass over 7.5 tonnes or trailers that have a mass over 3.5 tonnes
• The reflective material must carry the “E-mark” which means the tape meets the minimum requirements of the regulation
• Markings will be mandatory in the UK from July 2011, and may be full or partial, provided minimum requirements are met
• Red or yellow markings must be used for the rear of the vehicle, as close as practicable to the edge of the vehicle
• Yellow or white markings may be used for the side of vehicles, covering at least 80 per cent of its length
• The reflective markings must be 'Class RA2' or 'microprismatic' (e.g. 3M™ Diamond Grade™ DG³ reflective sheeting) in the case of rear markings and 'high visibility fluorescent or non fluorescent yellow reflective' in the case of side markings

• Why Mark?

• Conspicuity markings reduce accidents and save lives. Studies conducted over a 10 year period show that well marked trucks are 30 times* less likely to be involved in a road traffic accident
• Improve safety and increase visibility of vehicles. Other drivers are able to notice marked trucks 5 to 8 times faster**, allowing for considerably longer reaction time and safer driving/overtaking
• Fewer accidents mean less downtime, less contracts missed and savings on repair costs
• Improve corporate image through being more proactive about safety
• Protect your company against potential legal action related to third party safety
• Reassures and motivates drivers to know that your business takes their safety seriously
• To meet the regulatory requirements under ECE104 from July 2011
