"American National Standard for High-Visibility Safety Apparel and Headwear"
ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 provides performance requirements for conspicuous materials to be used in HVSA and specifies minimum amounts of background, retroreflective and combined-performance materials, colors and placement of materials for garments, supplemental items and accessory items used to enhance the visibility and safety of workers. The 2015 edition continues to present three performance classes of garments based on the amount of visible materials and design attributes incorporated into the final configuration and now identifies garment types based on expected use settings and work activities being performed. These are designated as off-road (type O), roadway and temporary traffic control (type R), or public safety activities (type P).

"American National Standard for Conformity Assessment of Safety and Personal Protective Equipment"
"ISEA 125 is designed to provide a standardized conformity assessment system that can be used by suppliers, specifiers, users and regulators. As a stand-alone document it can be applied as a uniform reference across a range of product categories. It is intended as a resource that can be referenced by end user purchasers of products, who may include compliance to this standard as a requirement of a purchase contract with a supplier; by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over workplace safety and health; or by product standard development committees to define their conformity assessment requirements for a particular product performance standard. ISEA 125 provides the option to select a method of conformity assessment that provides a suitable level of assurance of conformity for any product or application. It is not the intent of the standard to prescribe the appropriate method or level for any product category. This is a decision that is made by the supplier, the end use purchaser who references standards, by a regulatory body with authority over the use of PPE or by the product standards committee whose members are closest to the product category and the product’s application.Description"ISEA 125 is designed to provide a standardized conformity assessment system that can be used by suppliers, specifiers, users and regulators.
