BS PAS 10412:2015 specifies requirements for high visibility clothing conforming to EN ISO 20471 incorporating active lighting via Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). It covers LED modules that are permanently attached to high visibility clothing. It is applicable to an LED lighting fixture having a removable battery-controller set and LEDs measuring between 2 mm and 20 mm in diameter.

This PAS covers high visibility clothing that is designed to be subjected to temperatures falling between -30°C and 50°C and is applicable to high visibility clothing used in professional or civil situations. It covers requirements for the luminous intensity of the LED lighting set only, when not including luminous intensity obtained from other lighting or visibility systems that also appear on the high visibility clothing, such as fluorescent material and retroreflective material.

This PAS does not cover the requirements of the wiring, e.g. electrically conductive material that is woven into the fabric itself, or fabric made of electrically conductive material. The PAS makes no provision for requirements for LED active high visibility clothing designed for use in fire-fighting, or for protecting against chemical, bio-nuclear, or radioactive situations. It does not cover requirements for the placement or configuration of LED lighting sets on high visibility clothing.

Annex A covers requirements for test specimens and test conditions and Annex B covers a test method for an LED lighting fixture photometric measurement.

NOTE 1 The temperatures to which the clothing is designed to be subjected includes temperatures expected for cleaning and maintenance of the clothing.

NOTE 2 Requirements for fluorescent material and retroreflective material can be found in EN ISO 20471.

NOTE 3 Factors related to risk level are given in EN ISO 20471:2013, Table A.1.
