    Frequently asked questions about representation services for PPE

    To sell PPE in the European Union, products must comply with the Personal Protective Equipment Regulation. This regulation ensures that all PPE meets necessary health, safety, and environmental standards to be marketed within the EU.

    The PPE Regulation is under the scope of the Market Surveillance Regulation, which requires manufacturers outside the EU to have an economic operator, such as an authorised representative, based in the EU. This representative ensures that the PPE complies with EU regulations and acts as the contact point for market surveillance authorities.

    An authorised representative can assist manufacturers with several compliance-related services, including:
    ○ Verifying that all documentation complies with the PPE Regulation.
    ○ Carrying out post-market surveillance activities to ensure ongoing compliance.
    ○ Keeping manufacturers informed about regulatory changes in the EU.
    ○ Maintaining and providing access to the Declaration of Conformity and technical documentation for competent authorities.
    ○ Assisting in finding a notified body that can assess the conformity of PPE.

    The Declaration of Conformity is a document that certifies that the PPE meets all relevant requirements of the PPE Regulation. It must be maintained and made available to the competent authorities to demonstrate the product’s compliance.

    Manufacturers must ensure their PPE products are tested and assessed by a notified body to verify conformity with the PPE Regulation. This involves evaluating the design, manufacturing, and performance of the PPE to ensure it meets the necessary standards.
