CE Marking for Personal Protective Equipment |
How does CE marking work for personal protective equipment?
Compliance with the Personal Protective Equipment Directive (89/686/EEC) is required for all personal protective equipment being sold in the European Economic Area (EEA).
According to the directive, personal protective equipment is defined as: “any device to be worn or held by an individual for protection against one or more health and safety hazards”. This regulation also applies to any system used in conjunction with personal protective equipment.
This directive covers all health and safety risks, thus ensuring that the given product is safe for its intended application before being sold in the EEA.
It is the manufacturer’s legal responsibility to verify that their personal protective equipment complies with this directive before it is stamped with a CE mark and sold in the EEA by having a Notified Body certify conformity to the directive. This involves having a suitable product design/performance and proper documentary evidence (i.e. test reports, etc.) to show that the product complies with all relevant criteria in the directive. INSPECCO assists manufacturers in ensuring that they fulfill these requirements – upon successful completion of this, a certificate is issued to the manufacturer.
