EU-type examination of protective clothing for chainsaw work
As a notified body, we are accredited to the quality standard ISO 17065 and issue EU-type examination certificates according to EU Regulation 2016/425 (PPE), modules B and C2. Our notification covers protective clothing for chainsaw work, such as protective trousers/leg protectors, protective jackets, protective gloves, protective boots, and protective shoes.
Purpose
We have extensive and deep experience in safety work with chainsaws and protective clothing, and we have been a notified body for both for 25 years. For the past year, the PPE Regulation has been included in our accreditation, and we have both national and international clients.
When working with chainsaws, personal protective equipment is required to reduce the risk of serious accidents. The same applies to high-visibility protective clothing. These protective equipment must meet certain requirements to provide the desired level of protection.
Our accreditation also covers high-visibility protective clothing (hi-vis clothing) as well as hand and arm protection against mechanical risks.
We also perform ongoing production control (module C2) of chainsaw protective clothing in Category III.
Only EU-type-approved protective equipment of this type may be marketed and sold on the European market.
Method
EU-typkontrollen (modul B) innebär granskning av tillverkarens tekniska konstruktionsunderlag (exempelvis materialdata, bruksanvisning, märkning, provningsrapporter, riskanalyser, etc.) mot kraven i bland annat EN ISO 20471, EN ISO 13688, EN 420 och EN 388 och resulterar i en typkontrollrapport.
Den årliga produktionskontrollen av sågskyddskläder (Kategori III), enligt förordningens modul C2, utförs av oss med slumpvis intervall.
EU-typkontroll (certifiering) av personlig skyddsutrustning för motorsågsarbete och god synbarhet sker i Umeå.
