ANSI ISEA 107:2020 pdf free download – American National Standard for High-Visibility Safety Apparel
Noncompliant material: Any material used in the construction of HVSA, but which does not fully conform to the requirements for background material, combined-performance material or retroreflective material. Photometric performance: The effectiveness of retroreflective material in returning light to its source and measured in terms of coefficient of retroreflection. NOTE: The photometric terms and definitions used in this document are defined in ASTM E284-1 7 and ASTM E808-01 (2016). PPE: Personal Protective Equipment Retroreflective material: Material that reflects and returns a relatively high proportion of light in a direction close to the direction from which it came. Roadway: A general term for denoting a strip of land that has been improved, designed, or is ordinarily used for the purposes of vehicular travel. Shoulder area: The area of an item of apparel that lies above a horizontal plane located 1 5 cm (5.9 inches) below the shoulder high-point, as measured along the HVSA. See Figure 2. Single-use disposable coverall: An item of HVSA that is to be used once and then disposed and that is designed to be worn over clothing to cover a minimum of arms, legs, and torso. Split-trim: Retroreflective or combined- performance materials consisting of minimum widths positioned as a parallel pair. Temporary traffic control (TTC) zone: An area of roadway where road user conditions are changed because of a work zone or incident by the use of temporary traffic control devices, flaggers, uniformed law enforcement officers, or other authorized personnel. Torso area: The trunk of the body extending from the underarm to the hip area. See Figure 1 . Water repellent: The characteristic of a fabric to resist wetting.
4.1 Background Materials
Fluorescent background materials shall be tested by an independent third-party ISO/IEC 1 7025 accredited laboratory to verify performance to the requirements specified in Section 8 of this standard. At a minimum, the information found on the form in Appendix E1 shall be provided as a report to the entity that requested the testing.
4.2 Combined-Performance and Retroreflective Materials
Combined-performance and retroreflective materials shall be tested by an independent third-party ISO/IEC 1 7025 accredited laboratory to verify performance to the requirements specified in Sections 8 (for combined- performance material) and 9 (for combined- performance and retroreflective material) of this standard. At a minimum, the information found on the form in Appendix E2 shall be provided as a report to the entity that requested the testing.
4.3 Finished HVSA
Manufacturers of the finished HVSA shall verify that materials and supplies used to make HVSA meet the requirements of this standard. All certificates and test reports that verify the performance of materials used in manufacturing the finished HVSA shall be retained by the manufacturer and be made available to ensure that all HVSA labeled as meeting this standard have completed all of the testing required by the standard. Manufacturers of the finished HVSA shall provide a declaration of conformity that all requirements for the HVSA are achieved in their entirety. The Declaration of Conformity shall be developed for all models produced by each company. At a minimum, the information found on the form in Appendix E3 shall be provided.
