Hi-Vis Class Ratings

Conformance Grid – ISO 20471

ISO 20471 class 3 can be obtained by combining the class of the upper and lower garment providing the two garments meet the minimum requirements for the class 3 when worn together.

See the grid below for examples.

Conforming to ISO20471 Class 3

In the UK, the Traffic Signs Manual adds that clothing for those working on motorways or high speed roads must conform to ISP20471 class 3 and that jackets or coveralls must have full length sleeves, two reflective bands encircling the body and two encircling the sleeves, with two reflective braces over the shoulders. Therefore, only the combinations highlighted Green would be suitable on high speed roads.
