Did you know that reflectors can also have certifications? If you haven\u2019t thought about it before, now is a great time to start making more informed choices when selecting a reflector. Walking or cycling in the dark can be dangerous, but wearing the right reflector can make a huge difference \u2013 and certified reflectors play a significant role in that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many types of reflectors, but their quality isn\u2019t always the same. When a reflector has a valid certification, you can trust that it has passed strict quality and safety tests to ensure optimal visibility, even in poor weather conditions. The EN 13356 certification<\/strong>, for example, guarantees that the reflective properties remain effective in rain, snowstorms, or darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n EN 13356<\/strong> \u2013 A European standard that defines the requirements for reflectors to ensure visibility at night and in adverse weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CE Marking<\/strong> \u2013 This mark indicates that the reflector meets the safety requirements of the European Union and has been tested according to applicable regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OEKO-TEX Standard 100<\/strong> \u2013 This certification ensures that the reflector does not contain harmful chemicals, making it safe for skin contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3M Scotchlite\u2122<\/strong> \u2013 3M Scotchlite is one of the leading reflective technologies, providing exceptional visibility even from a distance. If a reflector uses this technology, you can be confident in its high-level reflectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PETA Approval<\/strong> \u2013 While the PETA certification is not directly related to reflector safety, it ensures that the product is ethically made and free from animal-derived components. If a brand has PETA-approved products, you can trust it to be an ethical choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A certified reflector ensures that you are visible and protected. It means that drivers can see you from a distance, even if you\u2019re standing in a shadowy or low-visibility area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is your reflector certified?<\/strong> If not, it\u2019s the perfect time to check and upgrade for better safety!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Did you know that reflectors can also have certifications?
