Eurofins Softlines & Leather and Eurofins Electrical & Electronics receive extended UK Approved Body accreditation for Personal Protective Equipment
 

Eurofins E&E CML Limited in Ellesmere Port, UK, has received UK Approved Body (2503) accreditation for three major types of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), namely protective clothing, safety shoes and protective gloves for the Great Britain (England, Scotland & Wales) market.  

This PPE accreditation complements the CE Marking certification for the EU market offered by Eurofins Textile Testing SLU in Alicante, Spain, an EU Notified Body (2865) for these scopes since 2020, and strengthens the full-service testing offering to our clients.  

The approval scope covers a wide range of protection capabilities, including protection against cold, heat, electric shock, harmful biological agents, chemicals, mechanical risks, slipping, static electricity and more.

This accreditation will allow us to provide PPE manufacturers with a route for continued access to the GB market with the UKCA Mark.  

Manufacturers, suppliers and buyers of these types of PPE products can leverage our global network of laboratories to ensure compliant and smooth market access to both EU and GB markets with CE Marking and UKCA Marking, respectively.
