  Reflective Strip Area Grade 3

  The EN ISO 20471:2013 standard specifies the requirements for high-visibility clothing, with a specific focus on the reflective strip area, a crucial element for ensuring visibility in low-light conditions. A test result achieving Grade 3 indicates the highest level of reflectivity performance in this standard, ensuring optimal visibility and safety for the wearer in various lighting conditions. In grade 3 products reflective tape is 0.20 m2 and fluorescent material is 0.8 m2.The test methodology involves assessing the amount and quality of retroreflective material on garments. This is quantified under precise conditions to ensure that the reflective strips meet stringent visibility requirements even from significant distances or in poor lighting conditions. Garments that meet Grade 3 requirements are suitable for use in high-risk environments where being seen by others is crucial for safety, such as road construction sites, airport ground operations, and other scenarios with high vehicular traffic or complex visual backgrounds.

  Flame Spread Test Index 1

  EN ISO 14116:2015 is a European standard established to assess the flame spread characteristics of protective clothing materials. Its purpose is to ensure that protective clothing offers adequate protection against the spread of flames, reducing the risk of burn injuries to the wearer. The designation Index 1 indicates the lowest level of flame spread performance, suggesting that the material provides limited protection against flame spread. This result implies that the clothing material may ignite relatively easily and propagate flames to a limited extent. The test method used to determine this result typically involves subjecting the material to a flame for a specified duration and observing the extent and speed of flame spread. Practical implications of this result for the product category include indicating that the protective clothing may not be suitable for use in high-risk environments with significant flame exposure, emphasizing the need for higher levels of flame-resistant clothing to ensure worker safety in such conditions.

• Oeko-Tex Standard 100

  Oeko-Tex Standard 100 is a product certification program for textiles, which is awarded by the Oeko-Tex Association. This program verifies that the textile products are free from harmful chemicals. To be able to use the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 label, a product must meet certain requirements set by the Oeko-Tex Association which include limits on the levels of harmful substances such as pesticides, heavy metals, and formaldehyde. The textile products are inspected and certified by Oeko-Tex, they can use the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 label on their packaging to show that they are free from harmful chemicals. This certification is for all types of textiles, from raw materials to finished products, and it is globally recognized.
