Arrangement of obligatory and optional markings |
The relevant standard allows for the areas of yellow and black stripes next to the corner castings to be reduced to a length of 300 mm (12").
It will be noted that the standard does not conform with the regulations in the German road traffic code and those of other countries, since in the standard the diagonal black and yellow stripes always run in the same direction.

It would be a good idea if this were taken into consideration when the standards are revised.

The standards allow for optional affixing of size and type codes to the roof and front end wall (green arrows). The same applies to affixing a data medium for automatic identification (blue arrow) and to marking of the net cargo weight (yellow arrow).
