Standard EN 17353 specifies the requirements for improved visibility equipment in the form of clothing or devices that can visually indicate the presence of the user.
Enhanced visibility equipment is intended to provide visibility to the wearer in medium risk situations in any daylight condition and/or under the illumination of vehicle headlights or headlamps in the dark.
Performance requirements for colour and retro reflection are included, as well as for minimum areas and placement of materials in protective devices.
This document is not applicable to:
• high visibility equipment in high risk situations, which is covered by EN ISO 20471.
• visibility devices specifically intended for the head, hands and feet, such as helmets, gloves and shoes.
• equipment that integrates active lighting, e.g. LEDs.
• visibility for low risk situations.
