High Visibility Waistcoat (International Standard)
Enhance Safety and Visibility in Every Workspace

Selecting a high-visibility waistcoat or safety vest for an organization is not merely purchasing regular apparel.
It is one of the professional risk management strategies for safety officers and procurement departments
to tangibly reduce collision accidents in high-risk areas such as warehouses, construction sites, and logistics zones.

To help your factory safety equipment system smoothly pass safety audit criteria,
Jenstore by Jenbunjerd has selected high-quality traffic vests and reflective safety vests certified by global standards,
focusing on maximizing visibility under all lighting conditions.

Principles for Selecting Reflective Vests to Match Worksite Standards

Low-speed traffic areas / Indoors: Choose the EN ISO 20471 Class 1 standard criteria,
or focus on lightweight, breathable mesh vests.
Medium-risk areas / Heavy forklift traffic: Class 2 criteria are required,
featuring retro-reflective strips with a width of no less than 2 inches (50 mm) in a 360-degree configuration around the body.
High-speed areas / Nighttime operations: Class 3 criteria must be used, which feature fluorescent material areas
and the highest concentration of reflective strips, allowing drivers to see from a distance of more than 200 meters.

Reflective Vest Standards to Know Before Purchasing (Certified Safety Standards)

Purchasing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for B2B organizations requires critical consideration of the
technical criteria specified on the Compliance Label. The details of the main international benchmarks in the industry are as follows:

European Standard EN ISO 20471 (European Standard)

This standard defines the structure of safety vests according to the risk level of the operational area,
divided into 3 levels (Classes), which are technical constraints that procurement departments should know:

Class 1 (Low Risk): Suitable for worksites with vehicle speeds not exceeding 30 km/h. Requires a fluorescent fabric area
of no less than 0.14 sq.m. and reflective strips of no less than 0.10 sq.m.
Class 2 (Medium Risk): The most popular standard level for factory safety equipment and warehouses,
suitable for areas with heavy transport traffic. Requires a fluorescent fabric area of no less than 0.50 sq.m.
and reflective strips of no less than 0.13 sq.m.
Class 3 (High Risk): For personnel on highways or airports. The vest must have sleeves and a fluorescent fabric area
of no less than 0.80 sq.m. for maximum visibility.

American Standard ANSI/ISEA 107 (American Standard)

This standard emphasizes evaluating the retro-reflective performance brightness value,
specifying that the reflective material must have a concentration of no less than 300 CPL (Candela per Lux),
helping prevent workers from being in "blind spots" when operating alongside heavy machinery.

Comparison Table of Types and Technical Specifications of Reflective Vests (Specification Buying Guide)

To ensure that the analysis of material specifications for quotation submission is accurate, precise, and meets actual usage requirements,
we have classified the structural data of each reflective vest series in the following table:

Product Series	Supported Certificates	Reflective Strip Material / Width	Fabric Type / Thickness	Suitable Worksite Group (Use Case)
Premium Series	EN ISO 20471 Class 2 / ANSI 107	Retro-reflective Premium 2 inches wide (Bright up to 200+ m.)	Extra thick polyester twill (120 GSM) Anti-wrinkle, colorfast	Supervising engineers, construction site managers, traffic officers, shipping port operations
Comfort Series	Passes standard visibility brightness criteria	High-intensity reflective strips 2 inches wide (360-degree visibility)	100% Polyester mesh Lightweight, excellent heat dissipation	Warehouse staff, production operators, outdoor packing teams
Compact Series	Passes traffic safety criteria	Fluorescent fabric strips + reflective agent 1.5 - 2 inches wide	Extra thick woven elastic fibers Highly flexible, freely adjustable size	Riders, temporary traffic work, emergency rescue work

[New Era Update] Integrating Safety Systems in Storage Areas and Blind Spots

Statistical data from safety engineers indicates that most accidents in workplaces do not occur from a lack of PPE equipment,
but from working in closed systems that lack coordination. Therefore, wearing a safety vest must work in conjunction with
the centralized safety management system of Jenbunjerd to ensure 100% safety.

Indoor Safety and Warehouse Systems

In operational areas between Warehouse Racks, which are points where goods are constantly moved,
pedestrian workers must wear reflective vests with omnidirectional reflective properties so that operators of forklifts,
pallet trucks, or even workers pushing hand trolleys can see them and stop in time at a safe distance.
Additionally, installing safety warning signs in clearly visible positions will help remind workers not to neglect wearing safety helmets and vests before entering the area.

Traffic System Management and Outdoor Areas

For loading docks and parking lots, enhancing safety for traffic officers requires using synergistic tools.
Such areas should be aligned with traffic cones and traffic barriers to define clear vehicle pathways, along with installing
traffic convex mirrors at intersections to eliminate blind spots, and embedding speed bumps to control vehicle speeds within safe limits.

Checklist for Inspecting and Maintaining Reflective Vests for Maximum Safety

The efficiency of reflective traffic vests will decrease according to service life and improper maintenance.
The safety department should advise employees to follow these guidelines to extend the material structure life:

Regularly check the Compliance Label: Check the characters and standard codes inside the vest; they must be clear
and not faded, to be ready for random inspections by external agencies.
Test retro-reflective performance: Use a flashlight to test in the dark once a week. If the reflective tape surface is found
to have dense scratches, peeling, or cracked texture that reduces brightness, replace it with a new reflective vest immediately.
Wash correctly (Washing Rules): Hand washing with normal temperature water is recommended. Never use bleach and
fabric softener because chemicals will destroy the reflective coating film layer and cause fabric color fading.
Limit washing cycles (Product Life-Cycle): Generally, industrial-grade reflective vests maintain maximum efficiency
for no more than 25 washing cycles. If used beyond this or stored in intense sunlight where UV rays destroy fabric molecules,
replacement should be considered for safety.

💡 Expert Advice: Procurement of safety vests for operational teams should be made as a paired PPE set, ordering together
with safety helmets, cut-resistant gloves, and steel-toe standard safety shoes for comprehensive body protection
and worthiness of a single-lot purchase.
