About Reflectil-YEZI Reflectil Yezi AB is a joint venture between the Norwegian based Reflectil group and YEZI Reflex corporation in South Korea. The purpose of the company is to offer European safety garment manufacturers and garment decorators, reflective materials with a high level of service and specialized product solutions tailored to local market needs. The head office is located near Gothenburg, Sweden. Operations with stocks and converting services is located near Porto, Portugal. Production of raw materials takes place in the Seoul factory. Information about the norm EN ISO 20471:2013 The norm EN ISO 20471 is replacing the older EN 471. As new products needs to be CE-marked with EN ISO 20471, suppliers of raw materials will need to provide correct documentation for the manufacturers to update their technical files with the different notified bodies in Europe. Reflectil-YEZI reflective materials have updated Certificate of tests according EN ISO 20471:2013. We can therefore assist manufacturers with their documentation needs for the different notified bodies in Europe. Product Development and Testing In our in-house laboratories in Seoul and Porto, we control and test that our products are according to the defined product specifications. Our testing instruments include reflectometers, digital microscopes, washing machinery and Martindale abrasion tests. Reflectil-YEZI Customer Support The market for professional clothing is in continuous development with new demands emerging from changing customer needs and preferences. Choosing the correct reflective material for a particular application is not always an easy task for the garment maker.

Laminated Reflective Materials Lamination of tapes is an ideal process when the objective is to obtain nonstandard designs and widths. The material does not alter its performance and the certification status of the material remains unchanged. The lamination process allows for many different combinations of materials and widths tailored to the need of the customer.
