What requirements should RWS rainwear meet?
RWS rainwear must comply with Rijkswaterstaat guidelines and the EN 20471 standard with combined Class 3, ensuring optimal visibility along busy roads and in poor weather conditions. Waterproofing and breathability are also important for comfortable working. Our blog about RWS workwear provides more background information and tips for making the right choice.
EN 343 and RWS rainwear
In addition to the high-visibility requirements, RWS rainwear must also meet the EN 343 standard. This standard indicates that the clothing offers protection against rain, snow, and wet conditions. An RWS rain jacket or rain trousers that are EN 343-certified will keep you dry and comfortable during extended work in the rain.
