Vehicle Reflective Tape Regulations Overview

Why vehicle tape has multiple “standard names”

Exporters hear DOT-C2, ECE 104, SASO 2913 and SOLAS in the same inbox. They are not four stickers for one SKU. Each points to a market or sector context with its own test and marking expectations.

Comparison snapshot

Context	Typical geography / sector	Buyer language	Site product entry
DOT-C2	United States truck/trailer programs	DOT tape, DOT-C2 reflective tape	DOT-C2 tape
ECE 104 / E-mark	UNECE-linked vehicle marking programs	ECE 104 reflective tape	RFQ via conspicuity tape
SASO 2913	Saudi / related Middle East programs	SASO 2913 tape	RFQ via conspicuity hub
SOLAS	Marine / shipboard reflective tape	SOLAS reflective tape	RFQ via conspicuity hub

Always pair the name with destination and document expectations on the PO.

Evidence rules that prevent failed shipments

1. A report for market A does not automatically prove market B.
2. Marketing photos of “DOT” rolls are not lot evidence.
3. Placement diagrams help installers; they do not replace type approval where required.
4. If documents are still pending, use intent language only — see the callout on the DOT-C2 page.
