The products suggested under this rubric may help the user when choosing personal protection equipment.
The test results may also help when choosing personal protection equipment.
However, it is understood that real conditions of use cannot be simulated.
It is therefore the responsibility of the user (and not of the manufacturer or its representative) to determine whether this product selection is suitable for the envisaged use.
Be aware that no PPE, even when compliant with one or more standards, offers an absolute guarantee of safety and protection.
In all cases, before performing any operation that could jeopardise your health or safety, it is indispensable that you perform a risk appraisal, that you envisage all possible preventive solutions, that you draw up an emergency plan if necessary, have the required qualifications and are familiar with the safety guidelines.
For safety and hygiene reasons, PPE is always for invidivual use.
