| Abstract |
In order to supplement Directive 89/686/EEC (CIS 90-381) with standards, the EU Commission issued three mandates to CEN which resulted in 240 different standards being developed for the field of PPE. PPE standards are developed mainly at the national level in the NPS and NAFu0, at the European level in the CEN/TCs 79, 85 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, which are coordinated under BTS 4, and at the international level mainly in ISO/TC 94. Since 1989 the majority of PPE standards have been developed at European level. The study has achieved to establish the state of standardization, to assess the product-related level of occupational health and safety in standardization, to assess the suitability of standardization as a basis for manufacturing and certifying PPE and to illustrate the deficits of standardization with regard to product-related occupational health and safety. The study does not take account of PPE for the areas of sport and leisure or for work on live parts of electrical systems. |
