CE-Certificates
CE-certified quality
All the safety products that
Talmu, Finn-Nauha and Stavellan sells, including the reflectors, must be CE-certified. The
requirements on pedestrian reflectors are stated in the EU personal safety
directive. All Talmu reflectors are CE-certified according to the EN13356
standard.
The reflector works in the way that incoming light is broken three
times inside the reflector in its prisms, before the light is then sent back
to the eyes of the driver. A proper reflector must have enough reflecting
surface. According to the standard, the minimum requirement for reflectivity
is 400 C.I.L. (millicandela per lux), which all
Talmu reflectors clearly exceed.
As proof of the approval,
the CE letters are engraved on all our reflectors as well as printed on our
standard packaging. Only CE-certified reflectors, according to EN13356, can
qualify as being reflectors and safety items.
The reflector must be watertight since humidity inside the reflector weakens
the reflectivity. Hella Lighting Finland regularly controls the reflectivity
and water tightness of the reflectors. All reflectivity values are
registered and saved, i.e. the reflectivity values of each production batch
can be compared even many years later.
The high quality and good reflectivity of Talmu, Finn-Nauha and Stavellan pedestrian reflectors are
the result of large and continuous product development. The reflector
production process complies with the ISO9001 quality standard and the
ISO14001 environmental standard.
