safety vest en iso 20471 | 1-page | 1-coloured | orange | Safety vest EN ISO 20471 | fluorescent with reflective stripes | single-sided, single-colour print

Printed safety vests are highly visible advertising media and, first and foremost, an important part of personal protective equipment. In yellow and orange, the signal vest meets the EN ISO 20471 standard, a revised standard for high-visibility warning clothing that has been in force since October 2013. The safety vests with imprint meet all the necessary criteria for safety and visual visibility in daylight and in the dark.

We will print the safety vest for you on one or both sides. The imprint can be in one colour or up to four colours. Usually, individual logos or lettering are screen-printed on the vest. Other printing methods or reflective imprints, flocking or imprints with colour gradients are possible on request.

You can buy the high-visibility vests according to EN ISO 20471 in our shop in yellow and orange. The vests from Korntex are made of polyester in fluorescent daylight colour and have two all-round reflective signal stripes and a practical Velcro fastener on the front.

Care and storage of printed high-visibility vests

To avoid compromising the signal effect and reflective properties of the safety vests, please follow these storage and care instructions:

• Prolonged exposure to UV light damages the fluorescence (daylight luminous paint with high reflectivity).
• According to the new safety vest requirement, a safety vest may not be washed more than 5 times.
• Do not iron, bleach or dry clean printed signal vests.
• Treatment in the dryer also endangers the reflection values.
• According to the high-visibility vest requirement for motor vehicles: Store within reach in the interior of the car (protected from sunlight in the glove compartment or side pocket).

Printed safety vests according to EN ISO 20471

The new standard for high-visibility clothing has been in force since 1 October 2013. It replaces EN 471, a previously valid standard for high-visibility clothing for PPE. The revision was carried out, among other things, with regard to the points of ageing, the design of the high-visibility clothing and the definition of risk situations. This definition now refers to the hazardous situation of the person and no longer to the occupational activity. Printed safety vests that are certified according to EN ISO 20471:2013 must have reflective surfaces of 0.13 m² and areas in fluorescent daylight colours (yellow and orange) of 0.5 m². This ensures that the wearer of a safety vest is always clearly visible in all daylight conditions and in the dark. Incidentally, the reflective properties of the high-visibility clothing in the dark are only guaranteed when the reflective strips are illuminated, either by dipped headlights or properly positioned lighting, e.g. on construction sites. The safety vests' imprint must not exceed defined dimensions.

Please inform yourself in good time about the correct high-visibility clothing for you.

High-visibility vests are mandatory in Germany – even in private vehicles

In other European countries, a significant reduction in accidents has already been achieved through various safety vest requirements. From 1 July 2014, safety vests will now also be mandatory in Germany. What has been mandatory for commercial vehicles for some time now also applies to all private, two-track motor vehicles. The requirement to carry a safety vest means that the driver, and any regular passengers, must carry a safety vest. We recommend that all passengers carry a safety vest. Always stow the safety vest in accordance with EN ISO 20471 within easy reach and wear the safety vest in the event of an accident. By the way: if the print area dimensions are adhered to, the safety vests can also be worn as an emergency vest.

Printed safety vests at events

A safety vest printed with a logo, motif or lettering is an unmissable advertising medium at events. The bright neon yellow colour and the reflective strips ensure that the wearer is clearly identified. Safety vests with imprint on both sides achieve a high advertising impact and are also an inexpensive advertising medium.

The printed signal vests not only contribute to safety but also to improved organisation. On the construction site, during the set-up and dismantling of events, the helpers, roadies and hands can be easily identified by means of safety vests. The individual imprint on the vest allows a clear assignment of the employees.

During an event, safety vests with imprint "Security", "Staff" or "Stewards" make the course of an event considerably easier. The fluorescent colour of the vest makes the wearer particularly visible, in the event of an accident or other emergency, a visitor can quickly get help. Safety vests labelled with names or numbers help to identify individual security staff.

Printed safety vests are also in high demand as giveaways or merchandise items. Due to the new obligation to wear them, visitors to an event will certainly also use the safety vests with your logo print privately in the car. At sporting events, printed safety vests are often ordered for marshals and ball boys. Here, safety vests with sponsor logos are a sought-after product.
