emu 0 Posted March 15, 2010 No no they are not :grin: Dubmeister do legal ones fully stamped up and everything :tongue: Hmm not so sure about it as was spoken to the police officer and that what he said. 1) First of all number plate must be made from plastic ! 2) Must be correct size and correct letters size etc. If You are sure that Dubmeister do legal ones, can You please give us some law confirmation. After I was stopped by police I had 14 days to replace them, and had to go on MOT station to get a stamp on the paper work, then had to send thic piece of paper back on police. I've asked 3 different MOT testers about metal pressed number plates and all of them said. ITS ILLEGAL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonard 0 Posted March 15, 2010 From Dubmeister: Our plates have been developed with a large plate manufacturer that supplies for example official Netherlands plates and serves other countries and manufactures to many differing standards world wide.. They don't have to be tested by BSI, just be designed to comply, and actually comply if tested, and this is what we have done. The BSAU 145d regulation has been finely gone through by our manufacturer and relevant sections have be exceeded or met, including a section specifically designed to exclude metal plates, which necessitated a subtle exclusive redesign of the metal base plate and different material to 'regular' Euro show plates, as well as altered letter tooling and lastly permanent laser marking of supplier info and maker info and the standard they are made to. They have been fully tested by our manufacturer and pre tested against the BS145d standard by the German DIN institute – (in case any major flaws we hadn’t picked up on), who have set up testing environments for BSAU145d now, are testing and will award a certificate to this effect on completion. We are fully satisfied they comply or exceed BSAU145d and have been told by a British Standards institute they can be marked as such if we are sure they comply by cross referencing DIN regs that duplicate/exceed sections of BS145d and amendments we have made, and they offered additional help if we needed, which we don't. No UK authority has the knowledge or means to test plates other than British Standard Institute. No Police or local authority can challenge a user as they are marked correctly as to comply, and that’s the end of it as far as prosecution of the user. If they want to test them they would have to send off to BSI and pay the £6000 to £15,000 fee...and result would be they pass anyway. Our dealers/suppliers take proper relevant driver/vehicle ID which is a major part of plates being legal, correct lettering and physical plate spec alone is not sufficient as prevention of vehicle cloning is probably the main issue in 'illegal' plates and prosecutions. So, we welcome any test to disprove our claim, which is that they do 100% fully comply when supplied by a DVLA registered licence plate supplier. Paul also commented: It was a long battle, we had to convince the German blank maker it was worth their while helping us, but they put a lot of R & D into it, and it was lucky they work with the DIN people on testing so closely. A £30,000 investment in laser marking was the final step.. Finished result is pleasing though... I run these on two cars (for past 18 months) and have never had any problems Matt P.S Sorry Andy for sending this thread in different direction. Your plates look very nice also :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
