The CE Mark is a certification mark that indicates conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA). For personal protective equipment (PPE), the CE Mark (regulated by EU Regulation 2016/425) is crucial, ensuring that the PPE meets essential safety requirements and offers the necessary protection for users.
When a product bears the CE Mark, it signifies that the manufacturer has complied with rigorous standards and has undergone assessment processes to verify the product's safety and effectiveness. For PPE, this includes protection against hazards such as mechanical impact, chemicals, heat, and electrical risks, depending on the specific type of equipment.
