ANSI 107 Class 3 high visibility utility jackets should be ordered using the exact garment type, performance class, and standard edition required by the buyer’s program. A bright color and reflective trim are not enough to establish the requested designation.
Ask TECHACS to review proposed workwear against the approved visibility specification, size distribution, weather needs, and any additional protective requirements. Keep the product’s manufacturer documentation with the quotation so the selected jacket can be checked before the full order is released.
Check the edition and garment documentation
ISEA now lists ANSI/ISEA 107-2026. Buyers should reconcile their organization’s specification with the edition shown in product documentation rather than assume every available garment is labeled to the newest publication. Confirm the required type and class for the assignment.
Customization deserves a separate review because logo size and placement can affect visible material. Also check the size range and intended layering before accepting a style. A jacket that fits over a shirt may not fit over the winter issue, and a different size or style should still match the approved specification.
What to include in your purchasing review
- Required type, Class 3 designation, and edition
- Manufacturer declaration or supporting conformity information
- Size range and fit over intended layers
- Approved logo size and placement
- Weather and other protection specified separately
A practical purchasing example
When replacing an older jacket, request documentation for both the proposed new model and the edition required by your purchasing policy. Have the safety reviewer resolve any difference before comparing unit prices or approving artwork.
Frequently asked question
Does Class 3 mean the jacket is arc rated?
No. High-visibility performance and arc protection are separate characteristics. If both are required, verify both for the exact jacket rather than treating one designation as evidence of the other.
