BSAU 145e Compliance

BSAU 145e is the British Standard that specifies the legal durability and visibility levels for number plates. Compliant GEL number plates must withstand weathering and road conditions without losing integrity or performance. Ensuring compliance is essential for the authorities to safely and clearly identify moving vehicles. To obtain certification for our 3D Plates, Tennants sent samples to a UKAS-Accredited Laboratory for scientific testing & accreditation.

Here is a brief overview of some of the BSAU 145e tests:

Retroreflectivity - ICON

Reflectivity & Visibility

GEL number plate digits must not be notably reflective. Registration characters must provide enough contrast to the retroreflective background so they are visible to people & ANPR cameras.

Colourimetric - ICON

Colourimetry & Photometrics

The British Standard specifies a number plate background & character colours. Certification tests check their chromaticity and luminance factors both before and after 2275 hours of weathering.

Abrasion - ICON

Abrasion Resistance

Plate durability is also tested by evaluating its resistance to wear and tear. After 6,000 strokes of a 1kg weight and cotton cloth, a samples background and digit visibility are measured.

Corrosion - ICON

Corrosion Resistance

Corrosion resistance is checked by spraying samples with a saline solution for ten cycles of 22 hours each. Any fading, missing digits, delamination or damage to visibility means a failure.

Impact - ICON

Impact Resistance

3D Plates have to be able to resist accidental impacts & maintain integrity. Our GEL Plates passed tests using a dropped projectile, with no damage detected to the plate outside the impact area.

Weathering - ICON

Weathering Resistance

Number plates undergo simulated weathering tests in a laboratory to assess durability. After 2275 hours of exposure to UV light and water spray, the samples are examined for signs of visual damage.
