Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as face masks, gloves, respirators etc. is regulated by the current EU regulation PPE(EU) 2016/425. The regulation covers design, manufacturing and marketing of personal protective equipment and ensures that only products of the highest standard are sold in the EU.

Therefore, your product must be CE marked before you can sell it on the Danish or European market. The CE mark documents that the product meets the requirements in the standards.

FORCE Certification offers to certify PPE so you get the proper documentation of the product’s quality for the market.

The certification process for personal protective equipment

A typical process for certification of PPE proceeds as follows:

  • The manufacturer fills out a certification application form.
  • FORCE Certification gives the manufacturer a list of the required technical documentation necessary to comply with the specific standard(s).
  • The manufacturer uploads technical documentation to FORCE Certification’s system.
  • FORCE Certification reviews the technical documentation according to the standards and contacts the manufacturer if anything is missing.
  • FORCE Certification issues a certificate to the manufacturer.
