    The People

    40 million users worldwide, every day

    JSP is Europe's leading independent manufacturer of industrial head protection and above the neck PPE, exporting to over 100 countries.

    Established in 1964, JSP achieved its first Kitemark in the 1970s. Backed by an in-house research and development team and with manufacturing and testing facilities in Oxford, every JSP product conforms to appropriate specifications.

    The Challenge

    Meeting global demand for quality-assured PPE

    JSP needs to demonstrate beyond doubt that its PPE products meet the applicable British, European, international and other recognized standards for quality, safety, performance and reliability.

    With a worldwide customer base, JSP is constantly adapting to the requirements of modern, multinational end users. However, in a market where lower-cost, lower-quality competitors and products - including counterfeit goods - proliferate, it's important that JSP is able to differentiate its products and create customer confidence in the quality of its products.

    The Solution

    The globally recognized BSI Kitemark is the symbol of assurance JSP needs

    While JSP has never compromised on quality, its certifications provide third-party verification of its commitment to providing customers with rigorously tested, high quality products.

    JSP has achieved the BSI Kitemark for its range of industrial head protection products and was the first ever company to be awarded the BSI Kitemark across several respiratory product standards. Its products are manufactured under its worldwide quality management system (QMS), which ensures rigorous batch control and includes full technical back-up and support. By meeting the requirements of regular, rigorous BSI audits, JSP is restating the quality of its products to the outside world all the time.

    The Benefits

    The BSI Kitemark gives customers reassurance that JSP is doing more than simply meeting minimum requirements. It also:
