Safety EN ISO 20471 Is used, for example, in road construction, when working on road beds and on building sites when the visibility of people is important. ENGEL Safety products are certified in accordance with the ”clearly visible warning clothing” specifications according to EN ISO 20471. EN ISO 20471 is a European standard with re- quirements for warning clothing, which must make the wearer visible in dangerous situations in daylight, in the headlights of vehicles and in the dark. Functional requirements for col- our and retro-reflection and minimum surface areas, distribu- tion and placing of the reflective materials are also part of the standard. The classification in accordance with three classes is based the surface area of the fluorescent material and the reflecting ma- terial. Class 3 clothing products have the highest visibility and Class 1 clothing the lowest. Whether Class 1 clothing, 2 or 3 products for safeguarding a person should be used ultimately depends on the area of use. Visibility conditions on-site are special criteria to be consid- ered here. A risk analysis of the various risk groups must be performed for this. With varying work assignments or in the event of doubts, it is recommended Class 3 clothing clothing be worn. PICTOGRAM The clothing carries a new pictogram. The pictogram shows the class that the clothing is tested and certified for in accord- ance with EN ISO 20471. RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTROL Compliance with the standards is controlled by official author- ities. The employer is obliged to provide the prescribed warn- ing clothing. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE • Warning clothing must always be worn closed, so that the reflective strips are not interrupted. • The reflective strips on the trousers must not be covered by boots, etc. • The washing and maintenance instructions must be observed. • If several of these pieces of clothing are worn in accord- ance with EN ISO 20471, the visibility with the fluorescent and reflective material is increased.
