EN ISO STANDARDS
Safety Standards for work
Ensuring safety on the job site is crucial, especially for workers in construction, roadworks, utilities, and industrial environments. Complying with the latest EN ISO standards guarantees that your hi-visibility workwear and safety boots meet stringent quality and protection requirements.
What Are EN ISO Standards?
EN ISO (European Norm International Organization for Standardization) standards are harmonized regulations that define minimum safety and performance requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE). They ensure products provide effective protection while maintaining comfort and durability.
EN ISO Standards for Hi-Visibility Workwear
Hi-visibility (hi-vis) workwear is designed to make workers clearly visible in low-light or high-risk environments. The key standards include:
EN ISO 20471:2013 + A1:2016 — High Visibility Clothing
- Specifies requirements for high-visibility clothing to improve wearer visibility during the day, night, and under poor weather conditions.
- Defines classes (Class 1, 2, 3) based on minimum areas of fluorescent and retroreflective materials.
- Applies to garments like jackets, vests, trousers, and coveralls.
