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 certied in accordance with the
”clearly visible warning clothing” specications according
to EN ISO 20471. EN ISO 20471 is a European standard with
requirements for warning clothing, which must make the
wearer visible in dangerous situations in daylight, in the head-
lights of vehicles and in the dark. Functional requirements
for colour and retro-reection and minimum surface areas,
distribution and placing of the reective materials are also
part of the standard.
The classication in accordance with three classes is based the
surface area of the uorescent material and the reecting 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.

the class that the clothing is tested and certied for in accord-
ance with EN ISO 20471.
