Reflectometers: Advanced Devices for Road Safety
At T2S Ibérica, we offer a wide range of reflectometers specifically designed to ensure road safety through the precise and reliable measurement of the reflective capacity of various materials. These professional devices allow for the evaluation of reflectance in traffic signs, road markings, high-visibility garments and accessories, license plates, and identification plates, ensuring strict compliance with current Spanish, European, and international regulations.
Thanks to their accuracy, robustness, and ease of use, reflectometers are essential tools for road maintenance technicians and professionals, specialized signage companies, regulatory bodies, and prevention services, providing crucial data to guarantee visibility and safety under any environmental or lighting condition.
In this category, you will find technologically advanced and certified solutions, specially adapted to the needs of the most demanding professionals in road safety.
What Are Reflectometers and How Do They Work?
Reflectometers are technical devices that precisely measure the reflective capacity of different materials, assessing their visibility in adverse lighting conditions or nighttime situations. They operate by emitting a light source directed toward the surface of the material being evaluated. Then, the device measures the exact amount of light reflected back to its origin.
This measurement allows for verification of whether the analyzed material or surface meets the minimum levels required by current regulations, thus providing reliable and objective data on its quality and condition.
Using reflectometers is key to maintaining high road safety standards, ensuring that vertical signs, horizontal markings, high-visibility garments, and reflective elements on vehicles always maintain optimal and safe reflectance.
Main Applications of Reflectometers in Road Safety
Reflectometers are essential tools for various professional sectors related to road safety and maintenance. Their main applications include:
- Measurement and control of road markings: They ensure that lines and symbols painted on the road comply with visibility regulatory requirements, thus guaranteeing safer driving, especially in nighttime or adverse weather conditions.
- Evaluation of vertical traffic signs: They facilitate technical supervision and preventive maintenance of signs, cataphotes, and reflective films to ensure optimal long-term visibility, reducing risks on roads.
- Quality control of reflective materials: They are essential in analyzing the quality and certification of reflective films and tapes used both in vehicle labeling and in the manufacture of high-visibility workwear.
- Occupational safety and worker protection: They assist occupational risk prevention technicians and manufacturers of reflective garments in objectively evaluating the visibility of reflective fabrics and accessories designed to protect workers in potentially hazardous environments.
These applications make reflectometers indispensable devices to guarantee road and occupational safety across multiple professional contexts.

Types of Reflectometers Available at T2S Ibérica
At T2S Ibérica, we have a comprehensive range of reflectometers, with solutions specifically adapted to each professional need in terms of visibility measurement and road safety:
- Vertical Reflectometers: Designed especially to evaluate the reflectance of vertical surfaces such as traffic signs, license plates, and reflective garments. These devices simulate real nighttime visibility conditions, providing exact measurements of the visual effectiveness of each element.
- Horizontal Reflectometers: Specific equipment for measuring road markings and pavement paints. These devices precisely verify that lines and symbols painted on roads comply with reflectance normative standards, maintaining adequate visibility for drivers at all times.
- Coating Thickness Gauges: Complementing reflectance measurements, these instruments verify the thickness of paints and thermoplastic materials applied on the road surface. Thanks to them, it is possible to ensure that road markings comply not only with visual requirements but also with technical standards for durability and resistance demanded by regulations.
Each of our reflectometers guarantees reliable, fast, and simple measurement, ensuring professional results adapted to current regulations.
