3M Contour marking for trucks
Reflective contour marking on vehicles according to UN ECE104. Reflective contour marking from 3M meets the requirements of the UN ECE104 regulations, for vans and tarpaulins. UN ECE104 has already been implemented and is required by law in several countries. According to the regulations, trucks and trailers must be marked with 50 mm to 60 mm reflective material to increase the visibility of the vehicle fleet.

The reflective contour markings reveal the outline of the vehicles and make them visible at up to 1000 meters distance at night. When a truck drives with contour markings attached, it can be seen on the highway up to 8-9 seconds earlier than a truck without contour markings.
The reflective contour marking allows other drivers to judge the size and speed of the truck in relation to their own. Motorists know in the subconscious that trucks are slower and less manoeuvrable and will take that into account in their decisions and reactions when driving.
When should contour marking be used?
It must be used on all trucks with a net weight of more than 7.5 tonnes and trailers with a net weight of more than 3.5 tonnes driving in Denmark, which are newly registered after 7. August 2012.
Application of contour marking
The rear of the vehicle must be marked with a complete marking (box) if the vehicle is wider than 2100 mm. Both red and yellow reflective foil can be used. The contour marking shall be placed as close to the edge of the vehicle as possible and shall cover at least 80% of the width of the vehicle.
Two application methods can be selected for the sides of the vehicle: complete contour marking or partial contour marking, see the picture below. The minimum requirement is met with partial contour marking.
Complete contour marking Partial contour marking
The contour marking must correspond to at least 80% of:
The length of motor vehicles, excl. the cab
The length of trailers, excl. the drawbar
If it can be documented to the authorities responsible for type approval that it is not possible to obtain 80% coverage, the total length can be reduced to 60%.
