EN ISO 20471 – High-visibility warning clothing
EN ISO 20471 is the Europe-wide standard for high-visibility warning clothing. It ensures that people can be recognised early in daylight, at dusk and in darkness. High-visibility clothing reduces the risk of accidents and is important wherever employees work near vehicles, machinery or other hazards.
The standard defines requirements for the fluorescent background material, the reflective strips and their arrangement and minimum surface area. Only products that meet these requirements may be certified to EN ISO 20471.
The standard distinguishes between three high-visibility classes:
- Class 1: For work areas with low risk potential and low traffic speeds, for example on company premises or in warehouse areas.
- Class 2: For medium-risk areas such as construction sites, logistics, waste management, industry, municipal services or work on roads with normal traffic volumes.
- Class 3: For work areas with high risk potential, for example road and motorway construction, rail environments, airports or work near fast-moving traffic. This class provides the highest level of visibility.
High-visibility clothing complying with EN ISO 20471 is used by construction companies, road maintenance services, logistics and transport companies, industrial and production facilities, emergency services, municipalities, and energy and waste-management companies, among others. In many sectors, wearing certified high-visibility clothing is required by law or forms part of company safety regulations.
The required high-visibility class always depends on the risk assessment for the specific workplace and the applicable legal and company requirements. Choosing the correct high-visibility clothing is essential for improving visibility and safety in everyday work.
