Certification of personal protective equipment (PPE)
FORCE Certification offers certification of personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with the current EU regulation PPE(EU) 2016/425. A certification of your product ensures you the necessary CE marking, which allows it to be sold and marketed on the Danish and European market.
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.
