HI-VISIBILITY PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
HI-VISIBILITY PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
This standard specifies the requirements for clothing designed to
visibly emphasize the wearer’s presence in hazardous work areas
during the day and at night and where there is a risk from moving
vehicles or processes.
Railway Group Hi-Visibility Standard for the UK market, in
addition to the EN ISO 20471 standard and defining the
Hi-Visibility Orange and the design of the garment (fully
Hi-Vis Orange, no contrast colour and defined placement
of the reflective tapes).
There are three classifications related to risk assessment and each
class requires that minimum areas of Hi-Visibility materials are
incorporated in the garment. These minimum areas comprise of
background material (the main fabric colour) and retroreflective
material (generally reflective tape). This area is measured on the
smallest garment in the product range, with all fasteners adjusted
to the smallest configuration possible.

PROTECTION AGAINST LIQUID CHEMICALS
PPE Regulation Type: Category III
EN 17353 supersedes two other separate standards and brings
together elements of each of these withdrawn standards. The
withdrawn standards were EN 1150:1999 and EN 13356:2001.
EN 17353 is applicable to clothing worn in medium risk
situations and in the case of Industrial Workwear it helps bring
clarification to some garments that have reflective tape, but
are not certified to the EN ISO 20471 Hi-Vizibility standard.
PPE within this category must demonstrate its suitability to
protect where there is a risk of potential exposure to a light
spray, liquid aerosols or low pressure, low volume splashes
against which a complete liquid permeation barrier (at
the molecular level) is not required. This standards tests
four different chemical types: Acid, Alkaline, Aromatic
Hydrycarbone and Alcohol. At least two of the four chemicals
must pass the test to be able to certify and CE mark the
garments with this symbol and the highest level is 3.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING FOR WELDING
EN ISO 11611 Welding Standard is the European Norm for PPE
used in Welding or related processes where there is a risk of
contact with flames, radiant heat from the arc, risk of splatter
(small splashes of molten metal) and risk of electric shock by
short term, accidental contact with electrical conductors (at
voltages of approximately 100 v DC in normal conditions of
welding.
