What is an RWS t-shirt and what requirements does it meet?
A RWS T-shirt must comply with the European standard EN ISO 20471. This means the shirt must be fluorescent orange with the characteristic horizontal and vertical stripes. These reflective stripes are mandatory for all garments worn along highways. In most cases, the requirement is that this, combined with trousers, meet EN ISO 20471 class 3.
