MODULE B

EU TYPE EXAMINATION

EU-type examination is the part of the conformity assessment procedure whereby a notified body examines the technical design of PPE and verifies and certifies that it meets the essential health and safety requirements of PPE Regulation No 2016/425 applicable to it.

The certification process takes place as described below.
  1. Application for EU-type examination submitted by the manufacturer
  2. Drafting of the technical file by the manufacturer (Complies with Annex III of PPE Regulation 2016/425)
  3. Evaluation and test on PPE by QUINTIN CERTIFICATIONS
  4. EU-Type Examination Report and Certificate issueing

CONTROL OF PRODUCTION

MODULE C2 or D

Each year, the notified body must verify that the manufacturer has an organisation capable of ensuring the homogeneity of production and the conformity of PPE with the type described in the EU-type examination certificate and with the essential health and safety requirements described in PPE Regulation No 2016/425

Nota: In the case of extraordinary events (e.g. COVID-19) that may involve travel and visits, our certification program provides a specific and adapted solution to carry out this assessment.

WHICH PRODUCTION
CONTROL MODULE
SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

It depends on the number of PPE, the quality system put in place,  your PPE means and process of testing.

If you have few PPE, the module C2 is the most suitable.

Indeed, even if a sampling and tests must be carried out, the control time is less important and the price will therefore be more interesting.

If you have a large number of PPE, module D is the most suitable, but you must have a quality system that meets the requirements of ISO 9001 and have the means of control to carry out the tests in accordance with the applicable standards.

All applicable internal procedures must be translated into English or French.

CE MARKING AFFIX

WHY AFFIX
THE
CE MARKING?

Affixing the CE Marking to your PPE is an obligation but for manufacturers, it is above all:

  • Demonstrate to your customers the safety of your equipment.
  • Access to a European market: free movement of CE marked products.
  • Conform with a mandatory European PPE regulation.
  • Secure the placing on the market of your equipment
