Reflective Strips

Question

Please can you give me any info. with regards the reflective tape on motor Vechicles, specifications, colour etc. Does it have to have an SABS, ISO, stamp Etc? Please send info that I can use to manufacture or import.

Answer

The reflective (yellow) tape required for trailers and prescribed categories of vehicles (ie busses and trucks over 3500 kg GVM) is very detailed. The details for conformance are available from the SABS in Pretoria. 3M (South Africa) manufactures the tape (and as far as we can ascertain) is the sole provider at this stage.
