How much do you know about children's reflective vests?
Children's safety is of the utmost importance. Children's safety is paramount when parents escort their children to school and when teachers lead their children to short trips. High-visibility clothing is one of the most effective ways to ensure safety and provide peace of mind for parents and teachers. But do you really understand your child's reflective vest? This article will introduce parents and teachers to information about high-visibility clothing and important information about the child group.
European standards: As of 2013, European high-visibility clothing standards have been updated. The new ISO EN 20471 standard has three separate categories that indicate visibility.
Level 1 - Minimum visibility, generally applied to the trousers, a 5 cm reflective strip is sewn on the trouser legs of the trousers. When worn with a Class 3 jacket, these pants become Level 3.
Level 2 - The intermediate level of visibility, usually the visibility level of a reflective vest. The vest is placed two times a week or a 5 cm reflective tape, and a longitudinal 5 cm reflective tape is placed on both shoulders. Level 3 - The highest level of visibility. Level 3 high-visibility clothing will feature two 5 cm reflective bands around the body, arms and shoulders.
When deciding on the most appropriate high-visibility clothing for a child, it is best to know which class suits your needs.
Choice of different colors: Children's reflective vests have different color options. Each color is usually used for a different purpose. When you are at sea or in the river, you usually choose an orange reflective vest because the color is in stark contrast to the blue and gray of the sea.
In addition, horse riding children generally choose pink, because such a special color rarely appears in nature, can be in sharp contrast with many landscapes. However, yellow is the most common color because it has the largest contrast in the most varied environments and is therefore the most common and the most widely used color.
In fact, after research, people wearing reflective vests are more conspicuous than those who are not wearing them. In the same environment, two people can be identified three seconds in advance. Wearing a reflective vest is very important when our children are walking in potentially dangerous areas.
