StVZO programs for the German market
Germany is one of the most demanding bicycle light markets in Europe. StVZO-compliant lighting is a legal requirement for road use — and a sourcing category that punishes assumptions.
How we support StVZO sourcing
Requirements first
We start from what StVZO road-legal lighting requires in Germany — beam shaping, cut-off and the approval process behind it — before discussing any model.
Certificate verification
For any candidate model, the approval certificate is verified at document level before the model enters a German-market quotation. No certificate, no claim.
Program structure
StVZO models sit alongside general-market lighting in your range plan, clearly separated so your German channel gets only what is legally sellable.
We do not claim StVZO approval at company level, and we do not publish model-specific StVZO claims until the relevant certificate for that exact model has been reviewed. If you are evaluating a specific light for the German market, ask us — we will confirm its current status in writing.
