16、ng including hand and arm protection and lifejackets“, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2002, and conflicting national standards sha
17、ll be withdrawn at the latest by January 2002. This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). Annex A is normative and contains test method for brushing
18、according to 5.3. For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this standard. According to the CENKENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Bel
19、gium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 3 EN 13356:2001 (E) O Introduction This European Standard relates to products primarily intended to be worn or carri
20、ed by individuals to make them more conspicuous to other road users under low light levels. The products rely upon retro-reflection for their performance. The products can be regarded as aids to conspicuity that perform best in circumstances of very low ambient lighting. On lit urban roads, products
21、 conforming to EN 471 : 1994 or EN 1150 are necessary to provide conspicuity. In any circumstance in which the failure of a vehicle driver to become aware of another road user could result in the serious injury or death of that road user, only high conspicuity garments can be recommended for use. Pr
22、oducts conforming to this European Standard have a utility when their movement and retro-reflection attract observers attention. 1 Scope This standard specifies the optical performance requirements for accessories which are to be worn, attached to or carried by people and designed for non-profession
23、al use. Visibility accessories complying with this standard are intended to signal the users presence visually when illuminated by vehicle headlight on dark roads. This standard is not applicable to garments. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, p
24、rovisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in
