4.1 Material
The plate shall be of resistant material. This requirement is fulfilled if the plate is made of
PVC: hard PVC with a thickness ofat least 1 mm, or
Al: aluminium with a thickness of at least 05 mm or
IP:laminated paper or coated paper, or
PVC F: PVC – as self-adhesive foil.
NOTEPolystyrene is not suitable, because it is not sufficiently resistant against cold impact.
Plates made of hard PVC or aluminium shall have suitable bore holes in the corners for mounting
4.2 Resistance against UV light Plates shall be sufficiently resistant against UV light. For example, this requirement is fulfilled if the plate is printed in screen printing technique with solvent colouring agents and finished with transparent coating.
