EU protective clothing standards and certification
2018-05-25 00:00:00
The EU market requires personal protective clothing such as winter clothes, electric clothes, high temperature clothes, antifreeze clothes, chemical resistant clothes, anti-ionization suits, complete isolation suits, etc. CE marking is required. The CE mark is a mandatory certification mark for the European market on the basic health and safety requirements of some products. The European Commission laid down basic requirements for protective clothing and the standards were harmonized throughout the European economic region. 
All manufacturers of protective clothing outside Europe or Europe must comply with the requirements of the CE mark to allow the product to circulate in the European market. Therefore, European consumers believe that the CE mark is a symbol of product performance and quality assurance.

Protective clothing certification application process:
For the protection of electric clothes, high temperature clothing, antifreeze clothing, chemical resistant clothing, anti-ionization suits, complete isolation suits, etc. The general certification process is:
The manufacturer submits samples and technical data – the certification body laboratory tests – the certification body auditor comes to the factory to audit – everything passes, the certificate is issued – the annual continuous supervision for other protective clothing, the general certification process is: the manufacturer submits samples and technologies Information - Testing by Certification Body Laboratories - Test Passes, Issuance of Test Reports and Certificates - Manufacturers Placing CE Marks
