- About this plate
- PLAQUE ESSAI, the Belgian TEST plate, "Y" index, distinct from the dealer plate it shares a design with. Recorded as its own series rather than a variant because the index letter is part of the format and a parse API must be able to score "Y-" against "Z-" independently.
Legal basis and sources
- art. 8 § 3, 1° (plaque essai, index Y) and art. 8 §§ 1-2 (colours and vignette) https://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/cgi_loi/article.pl?language=fr&lg_txt=f&numac_search=2001014154&caller=SUM&view_num...
