Registration plates must be mounted in the correct position and comply with specified requirements regarding location, viewing angles, dimensions, and installation conditions. In addition, the plate must remain clearly visible and easily identifiable throughout normal vehicle operation.
Testing and Evaluation Procedures
To verify compliance with EU 1003/2010, a series of specialized tests and evaluations are conducted. These assessments include installation position verification, visibility angle evaluation, illumination performance testing, legibility checks, and compliance verification of dimensions and technical specifications. The objective is to ensure reliable visibility and identification under various driving conditions.
The Role of EU 1003/2010 in Vehicle Identification
