High-Vis clothing is designed to make the person wearing it more visible in all lighting conditions, including daylight and under illumination by vehicle headlights in the dark. The international standard is primarily aimed at ensuring the safety of workers who are at risk of being hit by vehicles or moving equipment whilst at work. EN ISO 20471 ensures garments meet the following requirements:
COLOUR AND REFLECTIVITY
The garment must have fluorescent colours that are easy to spot and materials, such as reflective tape, that reflect light in low light conditions, helping the wearer to be seen.
DESIGN
The garment design must ensure maximum visibility of the wearer from all angles, even when they are moving.
DURABILITY
The garment must retain its protective qualities over time. There is strict criteria for maintaining the colour intensity and how the reflective materials (comprising tiny glass particles) perform after repeated washing.
VISIBILITY
The garment should contain a minimum amount of colour and reflectivity to keep the wearer safe. This is classified into three classes which are decided by how much fluorescent fabric and reflective material is visible when worn.
Class 1: Minimum level of protection required for any persons working on a private road or to be used in conjunction with a higher classed garment. Must incorporate a minimum of 0.14m² of background material and 0.10 m2 of retro-reflective material.
(2 metres of 5cm wide reflective tape.)
Class 2: Intermediate level of protection. Required for any persons working or near A and B class roads, also for delivery drivers. Must incorporate a minimum of 0.50 m2 of background material and 0.13 m2 of retro-reflective material.
(2.60 metres of 5cm wide reflective tape.)
Class 3: The highest level of protection. Required for any persons working on or near motorways or dual carriageways or airports. Must incorporate a minimum of 0.80 m2 of background material and 0.20 m2 of retro-reflective material.
(4 metres of 5 cm wide reflective tape.)
