BS EN 795 and the European PPE Directive
Other Industry News
The BSIF Height Safety Group recently issued a paper discussing the current situation relating to BS EN 795 and the European PPE Directive.
BS EN 795 was published in 1997 to support the European PPE Directive and with the aim of facilitating the CE marking of fall protection anchor products. The standard classified the products into 5 groups, however the European Commission felt that some of these groups did not come under the PPE Directive.
The BSIF paper explains the current situation and the possible way forward for product marking and certification.
