How Do Portwest Test Their High-Visibility Garments To EN ISO 20471 And RIS-3279-TOM?

How Do Portwest Test Their High-Visibility Garments To EN ISO 20471 And RIS-3279-TOM?

Retroreflectometer

A Retroreflectometer is used to check the performance of retroreflective tape. Every roll of tape is tested to ensure it meets and exceeds the standard requirements. The retroflectometer measures the coefficient of two rotating angles. EN ISO 20471 states the reading should not be below 330 (cd/lx.m2) however at Portwest they insist on a reading of 400 (cd/lx.m2) plus.

Spectrophotometer

A spectrophotometer is used to check the chromaticity – “colour intensity” – of fabric. They use this to ensure every roll of fabric meets the requirements of EN ISO 20471 and RIS-3279-TOM.

RIS-3279-TOM

RIS imposes a higher concentration for high visibility orange fabric for railway workers. This increases the conspicuous nature of the fabric and ensures that the rail worker is more visible.
