Hi-VisibilitystandardsHard Yakka Hi-Visibility workwear meets or exceeds all relevant Australian and New Zealand Standards, includingAS/NZS 1906.4:1997 for high-visibility materials and AS/NZS 4602:1999 for high-visibility safety garments in Class D(suitable for daytime use) and Class N (suitable for night-time use).IMPORTANT: Limitations of use.Under no circumstances should Class D garments be worn for visibility purposes at night. Any markings, attachments,screen prints or other alterations, accessories or coverings not incorporated into the original product may not only voidthe garment compliance with the appropriate standard, they may also put the user at risk by reducing the high-visibilityperformance of the garment. The high-visibility properties offered by Hard Yakka Hi-Visibility may be lessened due tonormal wear over time or if the fabric is stretched.

Thesematerials are subjected to the following tests and mustmeet or exceed specified minimum requirements for:- Daylight colour and luminance factor- Colourfastness to light- Colourfastness to washing- Colourfastness to perspiration- Colour retention testingIn some cases, for safety reasons, a garment must bemade from a natural fibre incapable of retaining afluorescent colour. In these instances, the material istested for luminance for non-fluorescent materials.Alternatively, man-made fibres are generally capable ofretaining a fluorescent colour and are therefore testedfor luminance for fluorescent materials. The fabrics usedin the manufacture of Hard Yakka Hi-Visibility Workwearare tested and must meet or exceed specified minimumrequirements for:- Chromaticity- Luminance for fluorescent materials- Luminance for non-fluorescent materials30
