SAE J1967-2000 pdf download Retroreflective Materials for Vehicle Conspicuity
1.Scope–This SAE Recommended Practice applies to retroreflective materials that are used on truck tractorsand trailers 2032 mm or more in overall width and with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) over 4536 kgand school buses. The retroreflective materials for the truck tractors and trailers are super-high-intensitymaterials containing microprisms. The retroreflective materials for school buses may contain flexible non:exposed glass bead lens or microprisms.
1Purpose-This document establishes test procedures and related requirements for identifying and evaluatinoretroreflective materials intended for use in passive devices used to enhance the conspicuitvy of vehicles atnighttime.
Conspicuity materials meeting the requirements of this document are intended to be in compliance withFMVSS-108 which references ASTM D 4956 Type V materials. The specifications in this document are notintended to apply to materials used for commercial identification, advertising, or similar graphics. Their use isoutside the scope of this document. School bus retroreflective materials specified in this document areintended to comply with the requirements of FMVSS-217 and FMVSS-131
