Home > The news of EUROGIP and occupational risks in Europe > New list of PPE harmonized standards

Eurogip has checked the differences and novelties compared with the publication of last October. Note that for five of the standards, this is their first publication.

As a reminder, the manufacturer is free to apply a harmonized standard or not, but it is an effective and recognized way of complying with the requirements of the applicable directive.
