  Reflective Strip Area Grade 1

  The standard EN ISO 20471:2013 specifies requirements for high visibility clothing, ensuring that individuals are visible in various lighting conditions. A Grade 1 result for the Reflective Strip Area indicates that reflective tape is 0.10 m2 and fluorescent material is 0.14 m2. Grade 1 products are suitable for environments with lower risk levels where visibility is nonetheless essential. The test method for determining this grade involves measuring the area and reflectivity of strips on clothing under different light conditions, ensuring that they meet predefined criteria for visibility as outlined by EN ISO 20471:2013. In practice, a Grade 1 result means clothing is suitable for use in situations with ample separation from traffic or other hazards and where visibility is not compromised by environmental factors. This grade is typically suited for workers on sites where vehicles and equipment move at slow speeds .

• EN 342:2004

  EN 342:2004 is a European standard that sets out safety requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE) to be used for protection against cold. The standard defines the general requirements for PPE, including design and construction, marking, instructions for use, and packaging. Performance requirements include things like thermal insulation and protection against water penetration and test results may include measurements of these properties. The standard also specifies the testing methods that should be used to test PPE, such as measuring the thermal resistance of the materials and the resistance of the garment to water penetration.
