Abstract
We express the defining relations of theq-deformed Minkowski space algebra as well as that of the corresponding derivatives and differentials in the form of reflection equations. This formulation encompasses the covariance properties with respect to the quantum Lorentz group action in a straightforward way. Different equivalences ofq-Minkowski algebras are pointed out.
