1, What is difference Between EN ISO 20471:2013 and EN471

From 1st. Oct. 2013, the EN ISO 20471:2013 was introduced. This new harmonized standard has replaced the former standard EN 471:2003+A1:2007. All High Visibility products introduced in the market from now on, will have to be CE marked and certified to ISO EN 20471. In practical terms, materials manufacturers and Notified Bodies will need time to update the required documentation needed to CE mark the garments to the new norm. Products that are CE marked to EN 471 or ISO EN 20471 will therefore now co-exist on the market during the years ahead and will only change as manufacturers are updating their products and documentation.

The new norm will essentially provide the same level of safety as EN 471, but there are a few important changes which are summarized below.

Scope: The standard specifies the requirements for high visibility clothing “which is capable of visually signaling the user’s presence”.  The new standard has broadened the usage base and a distinction between different types of risk situations has been made. The defined risk situations will be the basis for which norm is applicable for the user.  ISO EN 20471 is applicable to high-risk situations.

Design:  Basics such as the area requirements for background materials, retroreflective materials and combined performance materials with three classes of garments remains unchanged. The main difference is in the specific design requirements. The requirements are now depending on which part of the body the garment is covering, and not as in the previous version, where the type of garment was the basis for the design requirements. In the new norm, all class 3 garments must cover the torso and have as a minimum either sleeves with retroreflective bands or full length trouser legs with retroreflective bands.  This ends the possibility to CE mark sleeveless class 3 garments. It is now also possible to CE mark separate garments together to fulfill a requirement for a certain performance class. This is achieved by a so called clothing ensemble: e.g. by certifying jackets and trousers together to obtain a class 3 requirement.

Materials requirements: The requirements for the 3 defined fluorescent colours remain unchanged, but the background materials must now undergo testing also after washing as indicated by the manufacturer. Performance after washing now also requires each cycle to be a wash and dry cycle. This is also true for reflective materials. For separate performance retroreflective materials, the weaker performing material corresponding to EN 471 level 1 is now deleted, leaving the former EN 471 level 2 materials as the only option. Adjustments have been made to requirements of non-fluorescent background materials (see details in Fact Sheet).

Marking, Care labeling The new graphical symbol for High Visibiliy Clothing has been simplified.  After removing the type 1 reflective material from the norm, the figure indicated in the symbol (X) is now indicating the garment class only. An important change is that a defined explanation to the meaning of the maximum number of cleaning cycles provided with the garment (essentially stating that cleaning is not the only factor related to the life time of the product) must now be included in the information supplied by the manufacturer.
