Reflective Material

Modern traffic signs are faced with a long-lasting plastic material that is usually retroreflective. Retro-reflectivity is achieved either by incorporating glass beads into the material, or by moulding tiny prisms into the plastic, and are therefore known as glass bead or micro-prismatic.

Class RA1 refers to the lowest grade of retroreflective material, sometimes known as Engineer Grade. Classes RA2 and RA3 refer to tables NA.1A and NA.1B in the UK Annex and relate to products that have a European Technical Approval (ETA) to one of these classes.
