ECE104 is a regulation that establishes guidelines for the use of retro-reflective safety markings on heavy goods vehicles operating on our roads. It has already been introduced in a number of European countries. If you own, operate, sell or service any goods vehicle over 7.5 tonnes or trailers over 3.5 tonnes then you need to know about this piece of legislation.
When is it being introduced?
What colour markings can be used?
The regulation will be mandated from July 2011 for all newly registered HGVs over 7.5 tonnes and trailers over 3.5 tonnes

*The Department for Transport states that UK preference for colours is yellow to the side and red to the rear
There are two options to choose from, a complete contour line marking or a partial contour marking. Partial contour markings are the minimum requirement. Contour markings should cover at least 80% of the total length and width of the vehicle/trailer and should be as close as practicable to the edges. A combination of marked and unmarked vehicles/trailers is discouraged.
