BLUEWEAR 016818 Hi-Vis Jacket
INTRODUCTION
The selection and use of Hi-Vis garments should be based on a risk assessment of the prevailing conditions. When used, the garment must be of the correct size and must fit tightly in the right way, and it must be clean, undamaged and free from defects that can affect the characteristic properties of the garment. The garment must NOT be covered by any other garment or product. The effectiveness of the protective garment is impaired if it is dirty. The use of Hi-Vis garments does not guarantee that the wearer will be visible under all circumstances. This garment does not provide protection against chemicals, extreme temperatures, fire, cold, electricity or in other hazardous situations. A combination of protective clothing can deliver a higher safety class. This higher safety class, where applicable, is specified in the garment’s CE marking. If a maximum number of washes is specified in the washing instructions, this only refers to the fluorescent and reflective properties. The garment’s service life is affected not only by the specified maximum number of wash cycles but also by factors such as usage, care, storage, etc. If a maximum number of washes is NOT specified in the washing instructions, the material has been tested after washes. The protective clothing must be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area. The garment must only be repaired with fabric and thread that comply with the requirements of the garment standard. Do not repair the garment yourself. The Hi-Vis garment must be discarded if faded, worn or deformed. Follow local regulations for disposal. See label in a garment for care instructions. Classification according to EN ISO 20471:2013+Al:2016.

- The standard maximum number of cleaning cycles is not the only factor related to the lifetime of the garment. The lifetime will also depend on usage, care storage, etc.
- The assembly of the garment was tested to clause 5.6.3 for water vapor resistance and thermal resistance achieving a water vapor resistance Ret) measurement of 70.2 m2.Pa.W-1 and a water vapor permeability index (it) value of 0.0062.
- Clause 5.6.3 requires a Ret value of less than or equal to 5 m2.Pa.w-1 for multilayer garments, otherwise, the imt of the garment must be at least 0.15. The end user must decide on the basis of the risk assessment whether the comfort index is sufficient and whether the water vapor resistance of the garment is low enough, for the end use.
