FAQs

What does the EN 17353 Type B3 certification mean?

The EN 17353 Type B3 certification signifies that the vest meets specific European standards for high-visibility clothing, categorizing it for certain applications based on its design and performance characteristics.

Can this vest be worn in all weather conditions?

The vest is lightweight and made of polyester, making it suitable for most conditions. However, for extreme cold, layering is recommended. In very hot weather, the breathability of the polyester should be considered for wearer comfort.

How do I know if this vest meets my workplace requirements?

It is crucial to verify your workplace's specific safety regulations. While certified to EN 17353 Type B3, this vest does not comply with ANSI/ISEA 107-2015. Consult your safety manager to ensure compliance.

What is the difference between this vest and an ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 compliant vest?

ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 is a US standard for high-visibility safety garments that specifies different requirements for materials, colors, and reflective tape placement compared to EN 17353. This Portwest vest adheres to the European standard but not the US one.

How often should I replace the vest?

The lifespan depends on usage and care. Regularly inspect the vest for wear and tear, especially on the reflective tape and closure. Replace if performance is compromised or it no longer meets safety requirements.

Can I add custom branding to this vest?

While the product itself doesn't come with custom branding options, some workplaces may offer customization services. Check with your supplier or employer regarding the possibility and feasibility of adding logos or identification.

Troubleshooting

Vest does not provide sufficient visibility.

Ensure the reflective tape is clean and unobstructed. Check that the vest is worn correctly over clothing and is visible from all angles required by the workplace environment. Remember this vest is certified to EN 17353 Type B3 and not ANSI/ISEA 107-2015.

Hook and loop closure is not secure.

Clean the hook and loop surfaces gently with a brush to remove any lint or debris. Ensure the fasteners are aligned correctly when closing.

Discomfort due to fit.

Adjust the hook and loop closure for a more secure yet comfortable fit. The generous design allows for some flexibility; if still uncomfortable, consider if a different size or style might be more appropriate for your needs.

Material feels stiff after washing.

Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely, especially regarding temperature and detergent type. Avoid fabric softeners, which can affect the fabric's performance. Ironing on a low setting may help restore suppleness.
