The requirements specified in the ADRs (The ADRs mean the Australian Design Rules) for the performance and installation of trailer reflectors are based on the regulations set by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE).
The performance requirements usually involve tests done in a laboratory to show compliance. Trailer manufacturers must ensure that the trailer reflectors fitted to their trailers comply with these performance requirements.
This may be done by:
Self-adhesive rectangle reflectors are an important safety accessory for your trailer, caravan and truck. Ozanda products are extremely well built and come with an industrial grade adhesive back to make sure they stay attached to your trailer in all environments.
using trailer reflectors where manufacturer provides a written assurance that the item (suitably identified) complies with the ADR applicable to its recommended use when fitted according to the instructions supplied. This is either through having either a Component Registration Number (CRN ) listed on the Road Vehicle Certification System (RVCS) at rvcs.infrastructure.gov.au . CRNs can be checked by entering the number given by the component manufacturer into the approval number field on the Vehicle / RVD search page or through an internationally based ECE approval (see below);
or by having the lamps and reflectors tested to the ADR requirements and obtaining from the laboratory conducting the tests, a test report including the conclusion that the item complies with the ADR applicable to its intended use when fitted according to the instructions supplied with the report;
and in either case, fitting the lamps and reflectors according to the instructions provided, making sure that no part of the trailer or its equipment obstructs the lamp output.
Trailer reflectors complying with certain international regulations, referred to as ECE Regulations, are acceptable as complying with some of the lighting ADRs. These ECE Regulations are identified in the table below.
A typical ECE approval mark found on a rear direction indicator is as follows:
 | 2a—identifies the type of lamp; in this case a rear direction indicator.4—identifies the country issuing the ECE approval. identifies the side of the vehicle towards which the lamp is to be mounted.6R00217—identifies the ECE approval number; in this case incorporating the ECE Regulation number 6. |
A summary of the requirements for each type of lamp and reflector are given in the table below and in the diagrams in the sections that follow. The notation ADR 49/- (for example) refers to the latest version of ADR 49 and ECE R7/- refers to the latest version of ECE Regulation 7.
