It's mandatory here in the USA also and is called a ICC bumper.
ICC
Acronym for Interstate Commerce Commission. The U.S. federal body formerly charged with enforcing Acts of Congress affecting interstate commerce. The ICC was decommissioned in 1993.
ICC Bumper
A bumper typically made out of 3" to 4" steel channel stock, usually about 75% of the width of the trailer, suspended half the distance from the trailer floor to the pavement with a strong enough bracing to meet federal regulations governing underride guards.
