PPE Testing & CE Compliance
What is PPE Testing & CE Compliance?
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Testing verifies that protective products meet applicable safety, performance, and regulatory requirements before being placed on the market.
Within the European Union, PPE products are regulated under PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425, which establishes requirements for the design, manufacture, testing, and conformity assessment of protective equipment intended to safeguard users against health and safety risks.
Why PPE Testing Matters
Protective equipment is often used in high-risk environments where performance failures can result in serious injury or health hazards.
Testing ensures products deliver the required level of protection, comply with applicable standards, and meet market access requirements within regulated jurisdictions.
