Personal protective equipment – Regulation 2016/425 – PPER

The purpose of certification is to verify whether a given personal protective equipment meets the requirements of the relevant standards harmonized with Regulation 2016/425 (PPER for short) and therefore the minimum requirements specified in this regulation.

Under Regulation (EU) 2016/425 we assess compliance with the following procedures:

  • EU type examination (module B – Annex V),

The list of personal protective equipment certified by us can be found in the List of product groups assessed for compliance with PPER.

The principles and procedures for assessing the conformity of products with Regulation (EU) 2016/425 of the European Parliament and of the Council on PPE are described in Conformity Assessment Program for PPER.
