| Best for | Checking which U.S. alias the current Craft Yarn Council table gives a known metric package size before confirming project gauge | Checking whether a PPE standard reference is currently published or scheduled for withdrawal before obtaining the licensed standard and mapping its covered requirements |
| Know before using | The reference is not a dimensional measurement, manufacturer inspection, UK or Canadian conversion, steel-hook chart, tool recommendation, yarn assignment, gauge result, or proof that a proposed tool will produce the required fabric. | The Commission says its consolidated summary is informational and may not be complete at every moment; legal effect comes from Official Journal publications. A listed reference does not select the standard for a product, reproduce licensed technical content, cover every essential requirement, prove conformity, or authorize a performance class or CE mark. Recheck the current OJEU publication, obtain the correct controlled standard, and document product-specific coverage and evidence. |

The decision's Annex I lists EN ISO 20471:2013, corrected version 2013-06-01, together with EN ISO 20471:2013/A1:2016 for high-visibility clothing at the checked date. |
