What is ANSI?

ANSI, American National Standards Institute, and the ISEA, International Safety Equipment Association, jointly developed a standard for high-visiblity clothing that is patterned after the EN-471 standard used in Europe. ANSI and the ISEA are not government agencies, so this standard is really a suggested standard for everyone to look at and choose to adapt on their own. Many States are adopting it, or some variation of it.

 

The standard covers many details used in the construction of high-visiblity garments. Fabric color, labeling, fading,
reflective quality and quantity, suggested style, shrinkage and cleaning are discussed and specified in the standard.
