safety vest | orange | EN ISO 20471 certified | High-visibility fluorescent waistcoat in a bright colour | All-round reflective strips, Velcro fastening | Unisex | One size fits all | For cars, motorbikes, construction sites and much more.

You can buy the safety vest in yellow and orange, with double Velcro fastening in size XXL. For more safety, the vest has two reflective strips that run all around and ensure the best signalling effect.
In yellow and orange, the high-visibility safety vest meets the safety standard for high-visibility clothing that has been in force since 2013. It is certified according to the currently valid ISO 20471 standard and fulfils the requirement for safety vests.

In bright daylight colours, the safety vests ensure that their wearer is more visible in cloudy weather during the day and at night. The material of the vests uses fluorescence to convert incoming UV light into bright light, especially in low light conditions.

Have your safety vest printed

In addition to single-coloured safety vests, you can also buy safety vests with imprints or lettering in the allbuyone online shop. We will design the safety vest entirely according to your specifications, with printing on one or both sides.

Notes on safety vests and the requirement to wear safety vests

To ensure maximum visibility, safety clothing should always be worn in a closed state. This can be achieved by using a double Velcro fastener on the front of the safety vest. To maintain the signalling properties (reflection and fluorescence), the following must also be observed:

• The signal vest must not be ironed or put in the dryer.
• No bleaching or dry cleaning.
• Maximum of 5 washes at up to 40°C
• Keep away from direct sunlight

Safety vest standard: Safety vests according to EN ISO 20471:2013

New regulations for high-visibility and signal vests have been in force since 2013. In June 2013, the European Commission published the internationally applicable EN ISO 20471:2013 "highly visible warning clothing - test methods and requirements", which has been mandatory since September 2013.

This harmonised standard replaces the older DIN 471 in the long term. In the new standard, the "specific requirements for the design" of high-visibility protective clothing were defined in Section 4.2, among other things. This ensures that people are always clearly recognisable in all light conditions during the day and when illuminated by headlights in the dark.

The changes relate to the performance requirements for colour and retro-reflection as well as their minimum surface areas and layout. Furthermore, the minimum retro-reflection values are no longer categorised into different protection levels (according to EN471 classes 1, 2, 3). In future, the retro-reflection values of all materials must correspond to the former class 2. Other differences that arise for the new standard include, for example, the points:

• "ageing"
• "Information on risk situations"
• "Guidelines for the design of high-visibility clothing"

High visibility vest requirement in Germany 2014

Since 1 July 2014, private motor vehicles have been subject to the requirement to carry safety vests. This means that at least one vest must be carried for the driver. In the case of vehicles that are regularly occupied by passengers, a safety vest must also be carried for the passengers. allbuyone recommends that all occupants carry safety vests. There is no requirement for motorcyclists to carry safety vests in Germany.

In Germany, safety vests have been compulsory for commercial vehicles for some time. Many other countries also have compulsory safety vests (carrying and/or wearing requirement ).

Another regulation: a breakdown jacket must be stored ready to hand in the interior of the vehicle (glove compartment, side pocket). Non-compliance with the applicable regulations at home and abroad can result in heavy fines.

, safety vests according to both standards (EN 471 and EN ISO 20471) are valid.
