Protective clothing - Enhanced visibility equipment for medium risk situations - Test methods and requirements

This document specifies requirements for enhanced visibility equipment in the form of garments, or devices, which are capable of visually signalling the user’s presence.
The enhanced visibility equipment is intended to provide conspicuity of the wearer in medium risk situations under any daylight conditions and/or under illumination by vehicles headlights or searchlights in the dark.
Performance requirements are included for colour and retroreflection as well as for the minimum areas and for the placement of the materials in protective equipment.
This document is not applicable to:
-   high visibility equipment in high-risk situations, which is covered in EN ISO 20471 (for further information concerning risk situations, see Annex A);
-   visibility equipment specifically intended for the head, hands and feet, e.g. helmets, gloves and shoes;
-   equipment integrating active lighting, e.g. LEDs;
-   visibility for low-risk situations.

Schutzkleidung - Ausstattung zur erhöhten Sichtbarkeit für mittlere Risikosituationen - Prüfverfahren und Anforderungen

Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen an Ausstattung zur erhöhten Sichtbarkeit in Form von Kleidungsstücken oder Produkten fest, die in der Lage sind, die Anwesenheit des Trägers visuell zu signalisieren.
Die Ausstattung zur erhöhten Sichtbarkeit ist dafür vorgesehen, dem Träger in Situationen mit mittlerem Risiko bei allen Tageslichtverhältnissen und/oder beim Anstrahlen mit Fahrzeugscheinwerfern oder Suchscheinwerfern in der Dunkelheit Auffälligkeit zu verleihen.
Es sind Leistungsanforderungen an die Farbe und die Retroreflexion sowie an die Mindestflächen und die Anordnung der Materialien in der Schutzausrüstung enthalten.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht anzuwenden für:
- hochsichtbare Ausstattung in Situationen mit hohem Risiko, die in EN ISO 20471 behandelt wird (hinsichtlich weiterführender Informationen bezüglich der Risikosituationen siehe Anhang A);
- sichtbare Ausstattung, die speziell für den Kopf, die Hände und Füße vorgesehen ist, z. B. Helme, Handschuhe und Schuhwerk;
- Ausstattung mit integrierter aktiver Beleuchtung, z. B. LED;
- Sichtbarkeit für Situationen mit niedrigem Risiko.

Habillement de protection - Équipement de visualisation améliorée pour des situations à risque modéré - Méthodes d’essai et exigences

Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives aux équipements de visualisation améliorée sous forme de vêtements ou de dispositifs capables de signaler visuellement la présence de l’utilisateur.
Les équipements de visualisation améliorée sont destinés à rendre leurs utilisateurs plus perceptibles visuellement dans des situations de risque modéré quelles que soient les conditions de lumière du jour ou d’éclairage par des phares de véhicule ou des projecteurs dans l’obscurité.
Les exigences de performances sont indiquées pour la couleur et la rétroréflexion ainsi que pour les surfaces minimales et le positionnement des matières utilisées sur l’équipement de protection.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas :
-   aux équipements à haute visibilité dans les situations à haut risque qui sont couverts par l’EN ISO 20471 (pour plus d’informations sur les situations à risque, voir l’Annexe A) ;
-   aux équipements de visualisation spécifiquement destinés à la tête, aux mains et aux pieds comme les casques, les gants et les chaussures ;
-   aux équipements qui intègrent des éclairages actifs, par exemple des diodes électroluminescentes (DEL) ;
-   à la visibilité pour les situations à faible risque.
