Construction & Heavy Industry
High-visibility, multi-norm certified workwear fabric
Construction and heavy-industry sites combine a visibility requirement with general workplace hazards — and increasingly, an FR requirement where hot work takes place nearby. XM Textiles fabrics certified to EN ISO 20471 are available in FR and non-FR constructions, so hi-vis and flame protection can be combined in a single garment where the site requires it.
Standards that apply
Visibility class is set by EN ISO 20471; add EN ISO 11612 wherever hot work or flash-fire risk is also present.
High-visibility signalling — Class 1, 2 or 3 depending on the fluorescent and reflective material area.
Heat & flame protection — specified alongside EN ISO 20471 wherever the site also has a hot-work or flash-fire risk.
