Who should apply for PPE Certification?

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a specifically designed product, used by individuals as protection against hazards, injuries, and infections. Some of the personal protective equipment products are Gloves, Gowns, Masks, respirators, etc. These PPE products are made to protect the wearer from accidents/injuries. PPE Certification ensures these PPE products are made in compliance with EU regulation 2016/425. This is the latest version that specifies requirements to design, manufacture, and as well as for marketing the PPE products. Also, the PPE certification ensures the products met the Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSR) in EU regulation.

The regulation is one of the EU directives that prove the quality and safety of the personal protective equipment. Meeting the requirements of this EU directive ensures the product is safe and durable to use. It provides requirements for the manufacturers to use the necessary guidelines in the manufacturing process of PPE products.

Conducting PPE tests for medical devices helps ensures its quality and safe performance. Face masks, face shields, medical gloves, protective gloves, respirators, eye protection, knee pads, elbow protectors, medical gowns, N95 masks are some of the examples of medical devices. The PPE test and certification helps ensure the quality of these products. Also, the PPE Certification establishes the PPE products met the specific requirements to market within the European market and other European countries.

We also test and certify protective clothing such as high-visibility clothing, welding clothing, heat and flame protective clothing, etc. These PPE products should meet the requirements of the relevant standards in PPE regulation to export to foreign countries. The PPE Certification establishes that the products are safe to use.

Based on the risk level, the PPE products fall under three major categories. This classification helps to determine the risk level of the PPE products.

Category I:

• This set includes products that protect the wearer from Minimal risks such as the risk arises by contacting with water or cleaning materials. For example, sunglasses, gardening gloves, etc.
