From. memory for garments it's in the many thousands, but not tens of thousands. Accessories like belts are classed differently and more affordable The apparel components and design have to be extensively tested, sometimes in combination. Fabric colour coordinates, colour-fastness to UV, wash, seam strength, retroreflective luminosity, angle of effective reflection, and the design ratio/position/width of reflective in proportion to fluro colour panels, etc
....However, it's bulk production - and one of each size - which has to be tested for certification. This is a high risk point, where one simple failure (ie position of label) bins the whole lot. Arena not to be entered into lightly.
Great, keep an eye on this, not sure when, but all possible!
