Personal protective equipment (PPE) is expected to be safe and fit for its stated purpose. This minimum expectation is demanded by manufacturers, distributors, legislators and users alike.
The industry-wide commitment to responsible manufacturing is supported and governed by a range of Standards and Regulations, including the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Directive (89/886/EEC).
For further information on the following key areas of personal protective equipment and clothing: please visit the PPE pages in our Health & Safety area.
Protective clothing and footwear, eyesight and hearing protectors, and breathing apparatus all fall within the scope of the Personal Protective Equipment Directive for Simple, Intermediate and Complex Design.
This publication has been produced for all those involved with the design, manufacture and use of personal protective equipment. It shows you how to go about CE marking your products.
