This technical benchmarking guide, created in partnership with the British Standards Institution (BSI), helps fill a critical knowledge gap on technical regulations and standards for PPE. The guide presents the often complex and sometimes conflicting technical regulations, product standards and conformity assessment criteria in a simple way. It is intended to help manufacturers identify the realities of potential new markets and to act as a starting point for them to delve deeper into the specific product requirements and test methods by consulting the relevant standards and technical regulations as necessary.
