So what should be the reflective clothes have?
According to China’s national standards and Ministry of labor standards, outdoor work reflective protective clothing should have the following basic requirements:
The international EN47 standard requires that the reflective material must be treated by a special process. In the light action, it should be able to be found at a distance of 800 meters. The standard also sets a corresponding grade standard for the reflective area of reflective clothing to ensure the safety distance of wearers in the open air.
The reflective tape (fluorescent band) sewn on the reflector (fluorescent band) is now a 3M brand reflector, which is required to reach the reflective distance of more than 330M at night under irradiate of the light, so that the wearer can be found at the first time in the far safe distance. And for different types of outdoor work, the reflective area of the reflective belt also has a corresponding level of standard requirements. The conventional requirement is 5cm wide, the distance between the two reflective bands, not less than 5cm.
