CE-Standards
The Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) directive (89/686 EEG) was implemented in the Community on July 1, 1995. It dictates which kind of PPE is needed in different situations, how the garments should be designed, produced and how user instructions should be made. These standards help the manufacturers meet the directive and give the manufacturer detailed instructions on design, colour performance etc. and gives the user the certainty that the product is of good quality.
