Protective Safety Equipment

Protective safety equipment is designed to protect people at work and in daily life, including helmets, gloves, safety footwear, high-visibility and protective clothing, and eye and face protection. Since this equipment must perform reliably when needed, products that fail to meet applicable standards can put users at risk and create a false sense of security. Under the PVoC program, protective equipment subject to mandatory standards is assessed before shipment. CERTECH reviews the supporting documents, inspects the consignment at the supplier’s premises, and examines test reports or arranges laboratory testing of samples where required before issuing a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) or a Non-Conformity Report (NCR).
