Three classes of garment are defined based on three different minimum areas of reflective, fluorescent and/or combined performance materials. Each of these classes will provide a different level of conspicuity. Class 3 garment provides the highest degree of conspicuity against most backgrounds found in urban and rural situations in daylight and in night time. Users should select the most suitable protective workwear according to the risk of working environment and types of job.
