EN ISO 20471:2013 Visibility warning clothing for professional use – Requirements and test methods.
Any high visibility garment is certified according to the chart quoted here below following the minimum areas of fluorescent materials which grant more visibility during the day. The band on the back retroreflects the artficial light ( car lights) allowing more visibility during the night. X: class of base and retroreflective material area   ((see table 1, class 1 to 3))
MINIMUM REQUIRED AREAS OF VISIBILE MATERIAL		Class 3 garments		Class 2 garments	Class 1 garments
