ICON GUIDE
DAY CLASS Day (D) garments are made from high visibility fabrics and are designed to keep you safe by allowing you to be more visible during daylight. Garments are tested and comply with AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 & 4602.1:2011. Note: Retro-reflective tape does not contribute to visibility during normal daylight conditions.
DAY & NIGHT CLASS Day/Night (D/N) is a combination of both Day (D) and Night (N) standards as listed. These garments are manufactured using a specified design of both high visibility fabric and retro-reflective tape. Combining the benefits of both fabric and tape configurations allows you to be seen more easily, both day and night. Garments are tested and comply with AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 & 4602.1:2011.
RAIL COMPLIANT Particular areas of rail work require an X back pattern reflective tape configuration. Garments in this category have been specifically designed to meet these requirements.
UPF RATING 50+, 30, 15
Ultra Violet Protection Factor (UPF) measures ultraviolet radiation from the sun. UPF 15 - Minimum protection UPF 30 - Good protection UPF 50, 50+ - Excellent protection A rating of 50+ is the highest rating and is defined as excellent protection from the sun.
NIGHT CLASS
STATIC CONTROL
Night (N) garments are made from non high visibility fabrics and use retro- reflective tape as a means of keeping you visible - reflecting light back towards the source allowing you to be seen more easily at night-time and in low light conditions. Garments are tested and comply with AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 & 4602.1:2011.
Standard AS/NZS 1020 :1995 is The Control of Undesirable Static Electricity. Cotton fibres naturally do not hold or generate static electricity which makes it the perfect choice for use in industrial workwear.
FIRE RETARDANT
WATERPROOF These garments have been manufactured using fabrics with a waterproof finish, coating or dual membranes to avoid water penetration. Dual protection seams have been heat sealed to keep you dry and comfortable. Garments are tested and comply with AS 2001.2 .17 -1987. (Hydrostatic Pressure Test)
SHOWERPROOF
To be considered fire retardant or flame resistant, a fabric must self extinguish when ignition is removed. There are 2 types of fabric classifications.
A showerproof garment will keep you dry and comfortable in a light rain shower. These garments will not provide the same level of protection as a waterproof garment.
CHEMICALLY TREATED FLAME / FIRE RETARDANT
INHERENT FIRE Inherent fabrics are made from non- flammable/flame resistant materials that are woven or knitted into their fabric structures.
Fabrics that are chemically treated with a fire retardant chemical to slow down burning or self-extinguishing when exposed to flame.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE CATEGORY (PPE) Personal Protective Equipment Category (PPE) are categories that are specified in the NFPA 70E Electrical Arc Flash guidelines. PPE 1 Clothing required to meet a minimum Arc rating of 4 Cal /cm 2 PPE 2 Clothing required to meet a minimum Arc rating of 8 Cal /cm 2 PPE 3 Clothing required to meet a minimum Arc rating of 25 Cal /cm 2 PPE 4 Clothing required to meet a minimum Arc rating of 40 Cal /cm 2
SUMMER WEIGHT GARMENT
VENTED GARMENT
ARC RATING Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) defines the protection level against second and third degree burns (Arc Flash). The higher the number, the greater protection provided.
Our 145gsm and 160gsm fabrics are light, durable and designed for wear in the hottest, harshest conditions whilst still keeping you comfortable.
Our workwear garments have several venting systems available to meet a variety of requirements. Our Koolflow range has a vertical venting system and is designed to take advantage of the natural flow of air. Other styles have underarm and/or horizontal vents to keep you cool.
