Whats new for BS AU 145e?

Near Infrared Contrast Part of the new testing criteria for BSAU 145e is N&R (Near Infrared) contrast. This is to increase the accuracy of ANPR camera readings (currently 3% of plates are misread, resulting in as many as 1 million vehicles being misidentified every day). As such, legibility and opacity of printed digits and their contrast with plate background is ever more imperative.

Abrasion Testing Intensive abrasion testing is new for BSAU 145e and measures the continued performance of retro- reflectivity after exposure to dirt,

impact and weathering (including jet washing).
