Promotional Reflector or Professional Reflector

Promotional Reflector or Professional Reflector

Table of Contents

We always meet the unclear conditions for CE of the reflective items for slapwrap , hangers and stickers etc.
If you want to sell it as a ‘Reflective’ item for traffic safety, strictly speaking, the reflective items should meet CE EN13356 in Europe. Let’s call it Professional Reflector.
But if you want to sell it as a slapwrap or hangers only, only need EN71 which is for toys. Let’s call it Promotional Reflector. For example, the reflective hanger, if you sell it as a ‘PVC hanger’ or ‘PVC keychain’ , so there is no EN13356 needed of course.
For EN13356 materials. the price will be about 2 to 2.5 times than normal items made of China made material. No material made in China can pass the EN13356 testing at present.
so consider this question for Promotional Reflector or Professional Reflector when you want to make a reflector project. Normally, the EN13356 is much important than the EN71, since reflectors are for safety use. the user of reflector will be in danger if taking with a weak reflective reflector.

采购商在做反光产品的项目的时候,首先应该和客人沟通好产品需要符合的欧洲标准,客人是需要玩具的化学检测要求EN71,重金属测试,邻苯测试等等,还是产品的反光方面的功能指标EN13356强烈的反射效果。
反光产品在欧洲的是EN13356,属于个人防护产品PPE的标准里面的;因为反光产品的反光功能,很多是用来生产赠品,礼品的。很多时候这里有很多的概念会不清楚。
EN71是一个产品的化学指标以及其使用的安全性,比如产品的有毒成分是否超标;产品是否会伤人。这个是礼品类的基本要求;作为反光的礼品赠品,有2个情况,1,需要便宜的价格,有反光的功能;这类的产品一般采用国产的反光片生产,价位比较低;但是这样的产品是不允许在欧洲超市出售的,因为欧标EN13356需要高反射 (至少560逆反射系数) 2,需要合适的价格,具有很好的反光功能来符合安全的需要;这些一般北欧国家都是这样的需求;
从专业角度来看,反光的产品最好符合欧洲标准EN13356,因为作为一个安全的产品,个人在使用这个产品的时候,微弱的反光效果可能会带来潜在的事故隐患;当然那些要很便宜的价格的赠品的项目,只能用国产的材料做做了,但是做好写上一句‘this is not a professional reflector’(这个不是专业的反射器)。
