Rules for reading III Category labels
Here are the rules to keep in mind when reading a Category III PPE label.
- The marking must be placed on the PPE in a visible, legible and indelible way
- The marking must be followed by the identification number of the Notified Body
Remember to always check that the reference standards are those in force and that they are not replaced editions.
What cannot be missing in the marking of III Category PPE
It is important that the marking be marked with:
1_ The full address of the manufacturer
2_ The category of the PPE
3_ The traceability of the product (production batch)
In the image below you will find indicated all the mandatory points for a III Category marking:
CE marking, which indicates the conformity of a product, is the visible consequence of a whole process that includes conformity assessment.
In this process, manufacturers are responsible for verifying that their products meet EU safety, health and security requirements. It is then the manufacturer’s obligation to issue the EU Declaration of Conformity and apply the CE mark to the product.
Then the product can be marketed anywhere within the European Economic Area.
Therefore, in order to ensure the quality of PPE, each manufacturer must refer to the current legislation on applying the CE marking, namely REGULATION (EU) 2016/425.
