CE marking is an essential requirement for all PPE manufacturers wishing to place their products on the European market.
The EU-type examination is a vital stage in the compliance assessment procedure, during which a notified body examines the technical design of an item of personal protective equipment (PPE). This examination verifies and certifies that the personal protective equipment complies with the essential health and safety requirements set out in PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425.
To place Category III personal protective equipment on the European Union market, an EU-type examination certificate (Module B) and a production surveillance certificate (Module C2 or D) are required.
All manufacturers of Category III PEE (for irreversible or fatal risks) are required to have their production controlled by a notified body at least once a year.
The advantage of Module C2 is that it offers a simplified procedure for randomly checking the performance of your products on an annual basis.
With Module C2, manufacturers can ask CTC to take samples of their production for compliance testing. If the results are conclusive, CTC will then issue a production homogeneity report, valid for one year, authorising you to place your products on the European Union market.
