The History of RAL Colours.

Wash bay screens available in different RAL colours

After the first world war, Germany was in a period of economic recovery. Mass production techniques were advancing and there was a need for a quality assurance standard. German Industry and the government decided to standardise quality assurance, testing, and labeling. This lead to the forming of the Reichs-Ausschuss für Lieferbedingungen (National Board for Delivery Conditions).

The RAL was founded on 23rd April 1925 and was, and still is an independent body. The reliability of the RAL quality assurance system depends on adherence to the quality standards and test specifications by the companies themselves as well as regular monitoring carried out by independent third parties.

In 1927 RAL set the first binding standards in 1927 with a collection of the 40 most widely used colours in industry and public life. These 40 colours were defined for the first time and uniquely classified using RAL numbers. Today, the 2,328 RAL colours are a defining worldwide standard used in industry, trade and design, as well as by professional users of colour.

In 2008 the RAL German Institute for Quality Assurance and Certification (Deutsches Institut für Gütesicherung und Kennzeichnung) formed a new company called RAL gGmbH specifically to handle its RAL colours.

Please Consider The Environment Before You Pollute

Effluent and run-off from vehicle washing and cleaning activities can damage the environment and pollute rivers, streams, burns and groundwater. Dirt, brake dust, traffic film residue and oil that is washed off are all pollutants. The cleaning agents you use (including those labelled biodegradable or traffic film removers) are very poisonous to river life. If you cause pollution, you are breaking the law and spoiling your environment. Dirty water or run-off from vehicle washing and cleaning carried out as a business or industrial activity is called trade effluent. Whether you’re cleaning just one vehicle or responsible for a large lorry fleet, you must arrange for collection and disposal of effluent to prevent pollution. It’s illegal to discharge trade effluent to the environment or into drains without permission. Please think about the environment before you act
