Enhanced Visibility, Reduced Risk.
Conspicuity tape is a crucial safety feature for large goods vehicles (HGVs) and trailers in the UK. It’s a legal requirement to adhere to specific regulations governing vehicle lighting and signaling, which includes the use of conspicuity markings.
Conspicuity tape significantly enhances a vehicle’s visibility, both during the day and at night. In daylight, it makes the vehicle more noticeable, especially against similar backgrounds.

what chapter 8
grade do i need?
Choosing the right spec for your vehicle.
While both diamond grade and engineered grade Chapter 8 chevrons are designed to enhance vehicle visibility, they differ in their level of reflectivity and durability.
Engineered Grade Chevrons offer a cost-effective solution for vehicles that operate on roads with speed limits under 40 mph. They provide a basic level of reflectivity, making your vehicle more visible in low-light conditions.
Diamond Grade Chevrons, on the other hand, are considered the premium option. Chapter 8 chevrons are not just a premium choice; they are often a legal requirement, especially when operating on UK highways. These high-visibility markings are essential for ensuring the safety of both your vehicle and other road users.
