Protective clothing certification standards and processes in the EU market

We all know that the EU and the United States are the markets with the highest threshold in the world, and the European Union has very high requirements on product technology and environmental protection. The following details the protective clothing certification standards and processes in the EU market.

The EU market requires personal protective clothing, such as chemical protective clothing, high temperature clothing, anti-freeze clothing, chemical-resistant clothing, anti-ionization suits, complete isolation suits, etc., all of which require CE mark. 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 has established basic requirements for protective clothing and the standards are harmonized throughout the European economic region. All European or European protective apparel manufacturers must comply with the requirements of the CE mark to enable the products to circulate in the European market.
