• EN 14404:2004+A1:2010

  EN 14404:2004+A1:2010 is a European standard that sets the rules for chimneys made of clay. The standard explains how the chimneys should be made, how strong and durable they must be, and how they should be tested to make sure they meet these rules. The amendment A1:2010 includes additional requirements for the performance of chimneys and additional test methods to check the performance of the chimneys. Possible test results include measurements of strength, stretchiness, and how well the chimneys resist fire. The standard helps make sure chimneys made of clay are safe to use.

  Reflective Strip Area Grade 2

  The EU standard EN ISO 20471:2013, which outlines requirements for high-visibility clothing, specifically includes criteria for the reflective strip area needed for different grades of visibility and safety. A Grade 2 result identifies that reflective tape is 0.13 m2 and fluorescent material is 0.5 m2. This rating is determined through a combination of tests that assess how effectively the garment’s reflective strips can reflect light in low visibility or night conditions. For items rated Grade 2, this typically means the product has been assessed to provide a good level of visibility and reflectivity that is deemed suitable for environments with some level of light or medium-low risk areas. It assures that the wearer will be adequately noticed by others, particularly in scenarios where visibility is critical for safety, such as road work at night or in adverse weather conditions.
