EN471 Specification For High Visibility Clothing
EN471:2003 (High-visibility warning clothing for professional use)
EN471:1994 has been superceded by EN471: 2003
This revised standard is intended to encompass all previous 1994 requirements while allowing for more "Corporate" styling without reducing personal safety. For example; retro reflective tape can be positioned at angles +/- 20 degrees. There are 3 classes of EN471 garment type based on the levels on conspicuity provided. On all garments the retro-reflective tape must not be less than 50mm wide.
EN471 Class 3 : Highest Level of conspicuity. Minimum background material 0.8m2. Minimum retro-reflective material 0.2m2.
