In industrial environments, visibility and flame protection are both critical for worker safety. Combining EN ISO 20471 high-visibility standards with FR or IFR garments ensures workers are seen and protected in hazardous conditions.
EN ISO 20471 is the international standard for high-visibility clothing. It specifies requirements for:
Fluorescent colors to maximize visibility in daylight
Retro-reflective tapes for low-light conditions
Minimum areas of visible material based on the garment class (Class 1–3)
High-visibility clothing is widely used in construction, road work, railways, oil & gas, and industrial maintenance.
In many industries, workers face both fire and visibility hazards simultaneously. For example:
Oilfield workers operating near flammable gases need flash fire protection.
Maintenance teams in low-light industrial facilities require high visibility to avoid accidents.
By combining EN ISO 20471 with FR standards like EN ISO 11612, NFPA 2112, or ASTM F1506, garments provide dual protection:
1. Flame-resistant or inherently flame-resistant fabrics shield against fire hazards.
2. High-visibility colors and reflective tape ensure workers are easily seen.
FR Garments: Fabrics treated with flame-retardant chemicals; cost-effective and compliant with relevant standards if properly maintained.
IFR Garments: Inherently flame-resistant fibers with permanent protection; ideal for demanding environments where long-term durability is required.
Both can be designed to meet EN ISO 20471 visibility requirements without compromising flame resistance.
At DOMEX SAFETY, we provide high-visibility FR and IFR garments that meet international standards for fire protection and visibility. Our products include:
Coveralls, jackets, and trousers combining EN ISO 20471 with EN ISO 11612 or NFPA 2112
Anti-static and multi-standard garments for added safety
Custom designs to meet specific industry requirements
These garments ensure workers remain safe, visible, and compliant in challenging environments.
EN ISO 20471 combined with FR standards is essential for industries where visibility and fire safety are both critical. Choosing high-visibility FR or IFR garments protects workers from hazards while ensuring they are seen—reducing accidents and improving workplace safety.
