ECE104 VEHICLE REFLECTIVE TAPE
Suitable For Vehicles
Reflective Tape
Improves Road Safety
Waterproof Reflective Tape
H6632 reflective tape is a hi-viz marking tape designed for heavy goods vehicles to conform with ECE104 conspicuity regulations. H6632 is used to outline the rear and sides of all newly registered HGVs over 7.5 tonnes and trailers over 3.5 tonnes operating in the UK and Europe.
ECE104 regulations are explained in more detail on our document that you can download here.
Benefits
H6632 is a reflective tape with excellent retroreflective performance. This is achieved by a surface covered in tiny, man-made prisms which reflect the light directly back at the source in a tight cone. This increases visibility in virtually all lighting conditions, surpassing ECE104 requirements.
The metallic film base on which the prisms are applied is covered by a plastic film that is heat-sealed along the edges to prevent water penetration and delamination. This manufacturing process, which is unique to our material, creates a safety tape that is impervious to corrosion, backed with a clear, pressure-sensitive adhesive that will adhere effectively onto intended surfaces.
Applications
The optimal application temperature for ECE104 reflective tape is 10°C or above.
Optimal Service Temperature
Sizes
Produced in roll widths of 50mm and 55mm exclusively, due to the heat-sealing during the manufacturing process. The colour and size choices manufactured by Heskins are all you need to bring your entire fleet up to ECE104 conspicuity standards.
Unlike other approved ECE104 tape manufacturers we have no restrictions regarding sales areas or industry and no prior approval processes are required to sell into these.
Heskins is not only an ECE104 tape manufacturer, but we also manufacture a range of approved DOT-C2 reflective tapes for the North American and Middle Eastern Markets.
Colours
Available in red, white and yellow, our colours will mark the vehicle as vibrantly during the day as it does during the night.
Tape Thickness
ECE104 Vehicle Reflective Tape features a total thickness of 0.45mm, engineered to deliver high-intensity visibility without adding excess bulk to the vehicle’s surface. The slim, uniform profile allows the tape to apply smoothly along flat panels, curved contours, and recessed areas commonly found on commercial vehicles. Despite its thin construction, the tape maintains exceptional durability, retaining reflectivity and adhesion even under constant vibration, harsh weather, and frequent washing. This optimized thickness ensures full compliance with ECE104 regulations while providing a reliable, long-lasting reflective barrier for enhanced nighttime and low-light safety.

H6632 ECE104 Reflective Tape – Vehicle Conspicuity Tape FAQs
What is ECE104 reflective tape and what is it used for?
ECE104 reflective tape is a high-visibility vehicle conspicuity tape designed to improve the safety of commercial vehicles. H6632 ECE104 reflective tape is used to outline the sides and rear of trucks, trailers, and heavy goods vehicles, making them more visible at night and in poor weather conditions.
Does H6632 ECE104 reflective tape meet regulations, and what is the E-mark?
Yes, H6632 ECE104 reflective tape fully conforms to ECE104 regulations. The E-mark confirms that the tape has been independently tested and approved for use as compliant vehicle reflective tape, meeting strict standards for reflectivity, colour, and durability.
Is ECE104 reflective tape required by law in the UK?
In the UK, ECE104 reflective tape is mandatory for goods vehicles over 7.5 tonnes first used on or after 10 July 2011, and for trailers over 3.5 tonnes manufactured after that date. For smaller vehicles, reflective tape can be applied voluntarily, but must still comply with ECE104 requirements if used.
Where should ECE104 vehicle reflective tape be applied?
ECE104 vehicle reflective tape should be applied to the sides and rear to clearly define the vehicle’s outline. Side markings should extend within 600 mm of each end and cover at least 80% of the vehicle length. Rear markings should be positioned close to the edges and cover at least 80% of the width for full compliance.
What colours are used for ECE104 compliant reflective tape?
ECE104 compliant reflective tape uses specific colours: white or yellow for side markings, and red or yellow for rear markings. H6632 is available in red, white, and yellow reflective tape options, ensuring full compliance for commercial vehicles.
What is the difference between ECE104 reflective tape and standard reflective tape?
ECE104 reflective tape is specifically engineered for vehicle conspicuity and must meet strict regulatory standards. Standard reflective tape may offer visibility but is not legally compliant unless it carries ECE104 approval and the E-mark certification.
Is H6632 suitable for rigid vehicles or curtain-sided trailers?
H6632 ECE104 reflective tape is designed for rigid-sided vehicles. For curtain-sided trailers or flexible materials, we recommend contacting Heskins for guidance on suitable reflective tape solutions.
What surfaces can H6632 reflective tape be applied to?
H6632 vehicle reflective tape can be applied to aluminium, stainless steel, and automotive-painted surfaces. It is designed to conform to flat panels, curved surfaces, and recessed vehicle areas for a secure and professional finish.
How does H6632 reflective tape improve vehicle visibility?
H6632 uses advanced microprismatic reflective technology, which reflects light back towards its source. This makes trucks and trailers significantly more visible to other road users at night or in low-visibility conditions. Typical retroreflection values are 360 cd/(lx·m²) for white, 270 for yellow, and 65 for red.
Is H6632 reflective tape durable for commercial vehicle use?
Yes, H6632 is engineered for long-term durability in demanding environments. It features full longitudinal heat sealing to prevent water ingress and delamination, and is resistant to corrosion, UV exposure, vibration, and regular vehicle washing.
What are the application and service temperatures for H6632?
For best results, H6632 reflective tape should be applied at temperatures of 10°C or above. Once installed, it performs reliably in service temperatures ranging from -30°C to +80°C, making it suitable for UK and international use.
Can H6632 ECE104 reflective tape be custom printed?
Yes, Heskins offers custom printed ECE104 reflective tape for fleets and large-scale applications, subject to minimum order quantities. This makes H6632 ideal for branded vehicle markings and trade supply.
Can I request a sample of H6632 reflective tape?
Yes, you can request a sample of H6632 ECE104 reflective tape directly from Heskins. Samples allow you to test adhesion, reflectivity, and suitability before placing a full order.
