RECENT CHANGES TO THE ANSI STANDARD
ANSI/ISEA 107 AND ANSI/ISEA 207 HAVE BEEN COMBINED INTO ANSI/ISEA 107-2015
ANSI/ISEA 107 and ANSI/ISEA 207, American National Standard for High-Visibility Public Safety Vests, were merged to form a single document, ANSI/ISEA 107-2015. This new consolidated standard covers the needs of workers in all industries for high visibility garments as well as synchronizes the revision schedules for these two previously separate documents.
ALLOWANCE FOR SMALL SIZED GARMENTS
Garment performance classes are defined by minimum area requirements for both background material and retroreflective striping. Prior minimum requirements
for background fabric prevented manufacturers from offering a true small-sized garment. The 2015 edition
of ANSI/ISEA 107 includes a reduction in the minimum requirement for background fabric in only the smallest size garment offered by a manufacturer. This change will make small sized garments available to workers who previously were forced to wear garments that were too large for them in order to be compliant with the standard.
Previous Standard:
Class 2 ANSI/ISEA 107-2010 775 Sq. In.
Current Standard:
Type R Class 2 ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 540 Sq. In.
