Branded Hi-Vis Workwear: EN ISO 20471, Choosing Class, and What's Legal

What EN ISO 20471 actually means

EN ISO 20471 is the European standard that replaced EN 471 in 2013. It dictates how much fluorescent fabric and how much reflective tape a garment must carry to legally count as "high visibility." Three classes:

  • Class 1 — minimum visibility. Hi-vis braces, gilets without sleeves. Legal for environments where the wearer isn't exposed to traffic. Not enough for roadside or rail.
  • Class 2 — mid-range. Standard hi-vis vests and tabards. Suitable for warehouses, sites away from public traffic, and most contractor work.
  • Class 3 — maximum. Long-sleeved jackets and full coveralls with sleeve and trouser banding. Mandatory for road, rail, and any night work near vehicles. If your team is on a motorway verge, this is what they wear.

Two-piece combinations matter: if you wear a Class 2 vest with Class 1 trousers, you collectively meet Class 3 requirements. That's how most road crews are kitted.

Embroidering hi-vis without breaking the certification

This is where suppliers cut corners. Embroidering across reflective tape voids the EN ISO 20471 certification for that garment, because you've damaged the reflective surface. Legitimately certified branded hi-vis must have its logo placed on fluorescent fabric only — not on the silver tape.

We position embroidery on the chest panel or shoulder zone where reflective banding doesn't cross. If your logo is too large to fit cleanly, we'll suggest a heat-applied reflective transfer instead, which doesn't damage existing tape.

Bottom line: any embroidery on hi-vis should still photograph as a fully-banded garment. Ask your supplier to show you placement before they stitch.

Brands worth your money

For day-to-day work hi-vis, Portwest is the trade default — broad range, consistent fit, good price-quality balance. Yoko is the budget brand that doesn't feel budget; their HVS150 vest has been in continuous production for 15+ years for a reason. Beeswift sits between the two. For genuinely heavy-duty use — utility crews, rail, offshore — look at Portwest PW3 or Helly Hansen Workwear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hi-vis legally required for construction sites?
It's required by site rules on virtually every UK construction site, and it's required by law for anyone working on the highway (Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015 + Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual). Most main contractors mandate Class 2 minimum on site.
Can you supply hi-vis trousers and full body suits?
Yes. We stock hi-vis trousers, coveralls, bib & brace overalls, and weatherproof jackets — all to Class 2 or Class 3. Embroidery available on all of them.
What's the difference between yellow and orange hi-vis?
Both meet EN ISO 20471 if certified. Yellow is more visible against dark and natural backgrounds (woodland, asphalt). Orange is more visible against snow and bright urban backdrops. Network Rail and Highways England mandate specific colours for their work — check your site rules.
How small can I print my logo on hi-vis?
Practical minimum is about 6cm wide for embroidery. Thinner text doesn't hold detail on textured hi-vis fabric. We'll send a virtual proof before stitching.

Whether you need embroidered hi-vis for a small team or a bulk order for hundreds, we provide the quality, choice, and personal service that larger, impersonal workwear suppliers can’t match.

Our Hi-Vis Range
Every hi-vis product on our site is sourced from manufacturers who meet UK and European safety standards. Product listings include full specifications, EN ISO certification details, and compliance information so you can order with complete confidence.

We stock hi-vis from brands that UK businesses rely on: Beeswift, Portwest, Yoko, Result, Regatta, Uneek Clothing, and 11 more. Every brand in our hi-vis range is chosen for consistent sizing, reliable wash performance, and excellent results with embroidery and printing. Browse our full brand directory to see all 200+ manufacturers we stock.
Beeswift and Portwest are among our most popular choices for hi-vis — proven performers that hold up to regular industrial washing while keeping embroidered logos looking sharp, crisp, and professional season after season.

Custom Embroidery & Printing on Hi-Vis
Every product in our hi-vis range can be professionally customised at our Haverhill, Suffolk workshop:

Embroidery — Our most requested decoration method. Ideal for logos on chest, back, and sleeve positions. Creates a premium, hard-wearing finish that won’t fade, crack, or peel — even after hundreds of washes. From £1.80 per item on volume orders.
Screen printing — The most cost-effective option for orders of 25+ items. Produces bold, vibrant designs with excellent colour accuracy.
Transfer printing — Best for photographic images, gradients, and complex multi-colour artwork that embroidery can’t reproduce.
DTG (Direct to Garment) — Full-colour digital printing ideal for short runs, one-off designs, and unlimited colour detail without setup costs.

Everything is managed in-house — from initial logo digitisation and artwork preparation through to stitching, printing, quality inspection, and packing. You’ll receive a virtual proof by email for approval before we begin production, ensuring your branding appears exactly as intended. Our embroidery and print team has been producing professional decoration work since 2004, handling everything from single-item samples to 1,000+ piece production runs.

Whether you’re ordering 5 items for a growing startup or 500 for a company-wide uniform programme, we deliver the same attention to detail and quality on every order.
Many of our customers are repeat buyers — workwear wears out, teams grow, seasons change, and branding evolves. We keep your logo digitisation on file permanently at no charge, meaning reorders are quicker, more consistent, and carry no repeat setup fees. It’s one of the reasons businesses come back to us year after year.
