Retro-reflective Testing

At Viz Reflectives we have the facility to carry out inhouse performance testing of our M-Lite retro-reflective films and temporary road signs to the standard EN 12899-1-2007.

Using a range of measuring equipment, we can check the measurements of reflectivity over the range of angles, plus measurements X and Y of the retroreflected night-time colour coordinates.

Laundry Testing

Recently installed in our laboratory, is a Wascator FOM71-CLS and Electrolux TE 1120 Dryer, enabling in house laundry testing of our VizLite and VizLite DT materials to ISO 6330:2012.

This equipment combined with the testing capabilities of our retroreflector, means that we can offer our customers testing of all sixteen angles of reflectivity before and after washing.

Flame Resistance Testing

Also commissioned and installed is the latest Flexiburn cabinet which facilitates inhouse performance testing to fire standards such EN469:2020, including limited flame spread and edge burn before and after washing.

This piece of equipment will also be used in product development and quality control of the VizLite DT products, manufactured in the UK.
