Our ServiceIn 2013/14 over 1,500 individuals were injured by being struck by moving vehicles while at work (RIDDOR). Accidents include pedestrians being struck by forklift trucks or reversing lorries whose drivers are unaware of the presence or movements of pedestrians in their vicinity.

In the winter months daylight hours are reduced increasing the hours spent working in the dark. Also worsening weather conditions such as mist and fog can decrease visibility in any working environment increasing the importance of being seen and staying safe.

Hi-Vis clothing is a simple, cost-effective way to improve the visibility of people 24 hours a day. The fluorescent material of Hi-Vis garments provides daytime visibility, while the reflective bands around the chest, arms or legs of garments provides night-time reflectivity.

The use of EN ISO 20471 compliant, Hi-Vis clothing will improve the visibility of your employees and reduce the risk of them being struck by a moving vehicle.

Arco Clothing Centre (ACC)

Testing: Hi-Vis ClothingThe Arco Product Assurance laboratory can undertake testing of Hi-Vis clothing to EN ISO 20471:2013 – ‘High visibility warning clothing for professional use’. All high-visibility clothing products have to incorporate both fluorescent and retro-reflective materials.

Performance specifications are given for chromaticity and luminance and also for retro-reflection as well as for the minimum areas and the placement of the materials.

Chromaticity and LuminanceEN ISO 20471 7.2 Determination of colour

A spectrophotometer is used to test a piece of material from the background fabric of hi-visibility clothing for chromaticity (colour) and luminance (brightness).

Retro-ReflectionEN ISO 20471 7.3 Determination of retro-reflective performance

A photo-goniometer is used to test the retro-reflective properties of a material such as the tape which is applied to hi-visibility clothing. We have an agreement to test retroreflection in conjunction with an independent test house.

EN Standards for Hi-Vis Clothing

EN ISO 20471:2013 – High-Visibility Clothing – Test Methods and Requirements

Professional clothing must withstand the tough environments in which they are used. High-visibility garments can be manufactured from different types of materials and these materials must be sufficiently robust to withstand real life working conditions. The test for the above standard includes six main areas:

• Colour Fastness • Colour Measurement • Dimensional Stability • Tape Testing • Garment Assessment • Chemistry Testing

Whereas EN 471 comprised two values (X: risk class and Y: quality of the reflective strip), the new standard only considers the X value. As only the highest quality of reflective strip is permitted, the Y value does not appear on the ISO 20471 pictogram. EN 471 only prescribed the number of times the reflective material could be washed; ISO 20471 also does this for the fluorescent material.

EN 471 – High Visibility Clothing

EN 471 sets the minimum standards of visual performance and durability needed for high visibility clothing worn in the workplace. Compliance with BS EN 471 ensures that the wearer is as visible as possible against varying backgrounds in all weather and lighting conditions (bright daylight as well as rain, mist, dusk and night-time) and that a garment’s conspicuity and structural integrity are retained over a reasonable service life in a workwear application.

There are three classes of garment based on the conspicuity levels they provide. All garments must have reflective tape not less than 50mm.

• Class three – The highest level of conspicuity Minimum background material 0.80m2 Minimum retro reflective material 0.20m2

• Class two – Intermediate protection Minimum background material 0.50m2 Minimum retro-reflective material 0.13m2

• Class one – Low level protection Minimum background material 0.14m2 Minimum retro reflective material 0.10m2

Protection against RainEN 343:2007 – Protection against Rain

Waterproofness and water vapour permeability are the main requirements for waterproof clothing materials.

• Waterproofness relates to water coming through the protective clothing materials from the outside (e. g. Due to rain, fog, snow).

• Water vapour permeability (usually called “breathability") describes the physical capacity of the material to allow water vapour, sweat etc. to escape from the inside to the outside.

EN 343:2007 also contains requirements concerning the tensile strength, tear strength, seam strength and dimensional change resistance of the material:

• The mechanical strength requirements, i.e. the tensile, tear and seam strengths, apply in each case to the outer layer of material used to make the protective garment – for laminated fabrics, to all layers that are firmly attached to the outer material.

EN 14360:2004 for Protective Clothing against Rain

Suitable protection against bad weather conditions is one of the central functions of protective clothing. This European standard defines test conditions under which readymade garments are exposed to heavy rain, and it is a positive addition to EN343.

EN 14360:2004 creates a basis on which the waterproofness of rain-protective clothing can be tested throughout the EU under appropriate practical conditions. Impermeability to rain is an important characteristic that is tested on the complete garment in order to test in particular its constructional design characteristics. To do so, a stationary test mannequin is exposed to artificial rain.

EN 14360 applies to the testing of jackets, trousers, coats and one or two piece suits.

Flame Resistant (FR) EN ISO 11612:2008 – Protective Clothing to Protect against Heat and Flame

This standard specifies performance requirements for garments made from flexible materials, which are designed to protect the wearer’s body (except the hands) from heat and/or flame.

EN ISO 14116:2008 – Protective Clothing to Protect against Heat and Flame – Limited Flame Spread

This standard specifies the performance requirements for the limited flame spread properties of materials and protective clothing in order to reduce the possibility of the clothing burning and itself constituting a hazard.

Arco and Gore have worked together to build world-class functional products. Arco GORE-TEX® Hazardwear garments have been designed with the industrial user in mind and will keep the wearer dry and comfortable in real working situations throughout the lifetime of the garment.

Arco GORE-TEX® Hazardwear has been engineered to keep the wearer dry and comfortable, whilst being long lasting and durable even in the most challenging conditions.

Maintaining Long-Term Visibility It is essential to maintain the cleanliness of high visibility garments. If high visibility garments are dirty the visibility will be compromised therefore frequent cleaning is best to maintain high visibility.

Often hi-visibility garments are issued on a seasonal basis. These garments when first purchased will meet the standards specified, designed and certified to in accordance to the manufacturers instruction. However, consideration should be taken to the maintenance of the garments. During the lifetime of the products dirt, oil and grease, will frequently come into contact with the fabric. If the garments are not adequately washed and cleaned there is the potential that the garments, when required to protect in low levels of light, no longer work to the desired effect. Care and attention should be paid to ensuring that wearers understand the reasons for wearing the protective clothing, and why the background conspicuous material and retro reflective tape help provide additional visibility in different lighting situations.

Care Instructions for GORE-TEX® GarmentsArco hazardwear engineered with GORE-TEX® Fabrics can be washed at 60°C while maintaining durable waterproofness, and colour fastness. The GORE-SEAM®

Tape technology has also been formulated to withstand numerous washes.

The cleaner the garment, the better it will breathe.

• Pay attention to the care instructions on your garment.

• Wash at 40 or 60 degrees with a soft detergent, do not use softener.

• Rinse it twice if possible.

• Dry the garments by tumble-drying or by ironing.

• Use low temperature when tumble drying. The heat actually helps reactivate the surface treatment.

• Do not bleach your garments.

• To remove a stubborn stain, test a small hidden area with a commercial stain remover before using it on a place that shows. You may find certain stains have to be removed professionally.

• Rinse well.

Each garment will have specific care instructions printed on the garment label: these will need to be reviewed before garments are laundered.
