Observation Angle:
EN 1436 & ASTM E2302: 2.29°
ASTM E1710: 1.05°
Illumination Angle:
RL (EN 1436): 1.24°
RL (ASTM E1710): 88.76°
Qd: Diffuse
This means road authorities, contractors, and testing labs can use RP-R12 horizontal retroreflectometer with confidence that their results meet recognized international benchmarks.
2. Built for a Specific Client’s Needs
