European Legislation: Personal Protective Equipment

There are two main Directives relating to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

A. Dir. 89/686/EEC - the Harmonisation of PPE Laws
B. Dir. 89/656/EEC - Use of PPE in the Workplace

The EU directives in short divide PPE into three categories, according to the level of protection offered.

• CE Simple: Category 1 minimal risk
• CE Intermediate: Category 2
• CE Complex: Category 3 risk of serious or mortal danger

All Dailys Personal Protective Equipment products carry the CE mark and conform to the relevant provisions of the 89/686/EEC Directive.
