CE Certification for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

GÉPTESZT provides independent conformity assessment services for PPE manufacturers worldwide.

We are designated to perform

• EU-type examination (Module B)
• Production control assessment (Modules C2 and D)

Our activities focus on high-risk PPE in Category III, where compliance with essential health and safety requirements is critical for EU market access. We support our certification work with our in-house ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory, and where needed, collaborate with other accredited laboratories to ensure timely and comprehensive testing.

We certify PPE used for

• Fall protection, including industrial fall arrest systems and mountaineering PPE such as harnesses, lanyards, connectors, anchor devices, rope adjustment systems, etc.
• Head protection, including industrial safety helmets, bump caps, and helmets for mountaineering
• Respiratory protection, including filtering half masks (EN 149) and half masks without valves (EN 1827)

Modules C2 and D – Production monitoring

For manufacturers of Category III PPE, we perform:

• Module C2 – periodic product testing of certified items
• Module D – assessment and surveillance of the manufacturer's quality management system

We are also authorized to carry out production surveillance for Category III safety footwear and protective gloves, in addition to the listed PPE types. By involving our local auditors in production surveillance, we are able to keep travel-related costs at a low level.

Since obtaining our Notified Body status in 2009, we have supported over 200 manufacturers across nearly 40 countries, helping them to successfully place PPE on the European market with confidence.
