TS EN ISO 20471 High Visibility Warning Protective Clothing

The ISO 20471 standard describes requirements set for high-visibility clothing that can visually demonstrate the wearer's presence. This international standard has replaced the European standard EN 471. The main difference is that the requirements of the ISO 20471 standard better reflect the real conditions. A number of quality requirements are also defined in this new standard for protective clothing. In addition, according to the new standard, the durability and waterproofness of the material are evaluated.

TS EN ISO 20471 High Visibility Warning Protective Clothing

High visibility clothing is intended to attract attention in any light conditions, when it is viewed by other vehicle or mechanized equipment users, in the dark under the illumination of the headlights or in daytime conditions. In short, this standard explains the minimum requirements for high visibility protective clothing. These high-visibility garments are a visual indication of the wearer's presence and make them stand out in dangerous situations, when seen in all possible light conditions during the daytime and in the illumination of the headlights at night.

In order to provide the highest level of protection, these protective clothing must be selected against the dominant background. High-visibility garments generally consist of a basic fluorescent material or a reflective material. The minimum areas on the background and reflective material determine the class of high-visibility clothing.

High-visibility protective clothing is grouped in three risk classes according to the EN ISO 20471 standard: low risk (noticeable), medium risk (increased noticeable) and high risk (high noticeable).

The standard in question was published by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) in our country with the following title: TS EN ISO 20471 Clothing with high visibility warning - Test methods and features.
