CERTIFICATION OF RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is personal protective equipment intended to protect the user’s respiratory system from inhalation of hazardous gases, vapours, particles or biological agents, as well as oxygen deficiency.
This type of Personal Protective Equipment must include details of the specific characteristics of the equipment which, together with instructions for use, enable it to be used correctly by a trained and qualified user. In the case of filtering equipment, the manufacturer’s instructions must also indicate the storage period for new filters in their original packaging.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CERTIFICATION OF RESPIRATORY PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
Protective Respiratory Protection Equipment (RPE) must meet the technical criteria contained in EU Regulation 2016/425 on Personal Protective Equipment in order to be marketed in the European Union.
The conformity assessment of this type of certificate must be carried out by a Notified Body. AITEX is Notified Body number 0161 assigned by the European Commission to assess the conformity of Personal Protective Equipment, as well as for its CE marking before it is placed on the community market.
Respiratory Protection Equipment is classified as Category III Individual Protection Equipment, since it avoids risks that may have very serious consequences, such as death or irreversible damage to health. Category III Personal Protective Equipment must undergo an EU type examination (module B) and any of the following options: conformity with the type based on internal production control plus a supervised control of the product at random intervals (module C2 ) or conformity to type based on quality assurance of the production process (module D).
