Fluorescent clothing
Application in Safety Clothing:
- The EN 20471 standard sets requirements for high-visibility warning clothing used in workplaces with elevated risks. Fluorescent materials are an essential component of such safety clothing as they stand out prominently in daylight and artificial lighting, enhancing the wearer's visibility.
- The EN 17353 standard specifies specific requirements for garments worn in situations with varying lighting conditions, taking into account both the fluorescent and retroreflective performance of the clothing. Garments complying with this standard are designed for high visibility in twilight, darkness, or other challenging lighting conditions. The combination of fluorescent and retroreflective materials maximizes the wearer's visibility and minimizes the risk of accidents and injuries in various lighting conditions.
Function and Significance:
Fluorescent elements in workwear are meant to maximize the presence of workers in various environments. These materials are designed to fluoresce in colors like yellow, orange, or red, ensuring better visibility and increased safety.
Properties and Applications:
Fluorescent fabrics can also draw attention to the wearer in low-light conditions. These materials enhance visibility and reduce the risk of accidents due to poor visibility. They are used in various work environments, including construction sites, road work, traffic control, and other areas.
