Current Regulations require all loads to be secured so that no danger is caused to any person or property. Vehicle users are free to select the most appropriate equipment to meet these requirements and there are no plans to request an assessment of any new systems.
For information, the Code can be found on the Department for Transport’s website at:

Recently our domestic code was complemented by a Code for Europe which can be found at:
