How do local authorities and emergency services source their clothing?
In the public sector, two things are particularly important: recognisability in the field and a supply chain that ensures reliable reordering over many years. For maintenance depots and emergency services, high-visibility clothing is also a requirement, often to a higher standard than in the private sector.
What matters in this industry
- Recognisable in action
- In an emergency, it must be clear from a distance who is on duty.
- High-visibility clothing
- The maintenance depot, road maintenance and emergency services are working in the traffic area.
- Long-term reorder
- Procurement cycles are long — the equipment must remain the same for years.
- Clear guidelines
- Colours, markings and standards are often subject to mandatory regulations.
Suitable brands from our range

Relevant protective standards
- EN ISO 20471
- High-visibility clothing in traffic environments, often of a higher standard
- EN 343
- Weather protection for field staff
Whether a standard is mandatory always follows from the employer’s risk assessment (SUVA/EKAS) — not from the industry alone.

Frequently asked questions
How long can a product be reordered?
Branded goods are generally available for several years. For longer cycles, stockholding arrangements can be made via Kustom Made.
Can specified colours and markings be implemented?
Yes. We implement specifications regarding colour, placement and labelling, and check them before production.
Which high-visibility class is required?
This is evident from the risk assessment — a higher classification is often required in traffic areas.
