Why Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Tests are Important.
In potentially hazardous workplace environments, workers rely on PPE to guard against health and safety risks and PPE manufacturers' assurances that their equipment will perform as promised.
Testing of PPE sold or used in the EU is required under the requirements of the EU's PPE Directive and the EU's forthcoming PPE Regulation. PPE used in US federally regulated workplaces must also meet product-specific American National Standards and US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements.
