Pimme

How was Pimme born?
The reflector was born out of my own need for my own use. I made myself a reflector from a piece of reflector tape and a buckle. When I used it, I found that it was really convenient and shined well, so I wanted to make it available to others. It required a bit of thought work on the couch at home and endless talk to my family about the idea and product development.
Thanks to them for taking the time to listen. In the end, the Pimme reflector was born, ready for production and sale. I was full of enthusiasm. But then I ran into rules and regulations that I hadn't thought about before, having only been a reflector user, not a manufacturer.

The reflector is personal protective equipment and is regulated by EU directives. According to Liikenneturva, a reflector and a reflective product are two different things: "Only type-approved personal protective equipment according to the EN 13356 standard can be called a reflector". The product must be inspected and approved by an institution authorized for the task. In Finland, it is the Occupational Health Service. I worried about the rule jungle for a few nights, but it couldn't be ignored. I was in contact with the Occupational Health and Safety Institute and made an appropriate application with the necessary attachments. In February 2017, I received the certificate and was really satisfied and proud. I hadn't been wrong about the brilliance of the reflector, it really lived up to the requirements. It's been a few years now, and Pimme reflectors are already in circulation all over Finland.
