What surface preparation is required before affixing an inspection sticker?

Before affixing an inspection sticker, it is essential to ensure that the surface is adequately prepared to ensure proper adhesion and longevity of the sticker. This involves cleaning and scraping the area where the sticker will be applied.

Cleaning the surface removes dirt, grease, and grime, which could interfere with the adhesive. Scraping ensures that any old stickers or debris are entirely removed, providing a smooth and clean surface for the new sticker. Without this thorough preparation, the sticker may not adhere correctly, potentially leading to it peeling off or becoming illegible over time.

Ensuring the surface is well-prepared before applying the sticker is crucial for proper compliance with inspection regulations and for maintaining the integrity of the inspection process.
