CE marking for PPE done! With easyCE expert support.

• Superficial mechanical injury.
• Contact with weak cleaning products or prolonged contact with water.
• Contact with hot surfaces up to 50°C.
• Eye damage from sunlight, other than observing the sun.
• Atmospheric conditions that are not extreme.

Examples may include appropriate gardening gloves or ordinary sunglasses, depending on their actual protective claims.

Other listed risks include drowning, hand-held chainsaw cuts, high-pressure jets and bullet wounds or knife stabs. Classification follows the protection claimed and the risks listed in Annex I, not simply the complexity of the product.

• PPE specifically designed for the armed forces or maintaining law and order.
• PPE designed for self-defence, except equipment intended for sporting activities.
• PPE for private use against non-extreme weather or against damp and water during dishwashing.
• PPE exclusively for use on seagoing vessels or aircraft covered by the relevant international treaties.
• Motorcycle and moped head, face or eye protection covered by UN Regulation No 22.

An exclusion from this regulation does not remove other applicable safety requirements.

• Category I: internal production control, Module A.
• Category II: EU-type examination, Module B, followed by conformity to type based on internal production control, Module C.
• Category III: EU-type examination, Module B, followed by either Module C2 supervised product checks or Module D production-process quality assurance.

easyCE prepares the agreed technical evidence and coordinates contact with a notified body designated for the relevant PPE.

• Identify the applicable essential health and safety requirements.
• Assess the risks and select the relevant standards or other technical solutions.
• Plan and document the necessary examinations and tests.
• Prepare the technical documentation and user information.
• Complete the category-specific notified-body procedures where required.
• Issue the EU declaration of conformity and affix the required marking after conformity has been demonstrated.

It issues the certificates required by the selected procedure. The manufacturer, not the notified body, remains responsible for issuing the EU declaration of conformity and affixing CE marking.

• A description of the PPE and its intended use.
• The risk assessment and the applicable essential requirements.
• Design and manufacturing drawings, component information and necessary explanations.
• The harmonised standards or other technical specifications used.
• Calculations, examinations and test reports.
• The means used to maintain conformity in production.
• The manufacturer's instructions and relevant information about interchangeable components or product variants.

• Traceable identification of the PPE and the manufacturer's name and address.
• A statement of the manufacturer's sole responsibility.
• The legislation with which conformity is declared.
• The harmonised standards or other technical specifications used.
• For relevant categories, the notified body, EU-type examination certificate and production-surveillance procedure.
• The place and date, signatory's name and function, and signature.

The EU declaration must accompany the PPE or the instructions must provide an internet address where it is accessible.

• Preserve the prescribed proportions and a minimum height of 5 mm.
• Affix the marking before placing the PPE on the market.
• For Category III, the identification number of the notified body involved in Module C2 or D follows the CE marking.
• EU-type examination alone does not require the Category II product to carry the notified body's number alongside CE.
