Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need this kit to drive in Europe?
Germany legally requires all vehicles to carry a DIN 13164 compliant first aid kit. Other European countries have varying requirements - France, Austria, and several Eastern European countries also mandate vehicle first aid provision. Carrying a DIN 13164 kit provides broad compliance when driving across the continent.
Can I use this kit in the UK instead of a BS 8599-2 kit?
The DIN 13164 kit follows the German specification which differs from BS 8599-2 in contents and quantities. For UK-only use, a BS 8599-2 kit provides the British Standard specification. For drivers who travel between the UK and Europe, carrying both a BS 8599-2 and DIN 13164 kit ensures compliance in all jurisdictions.
