• EN 13997:1999

  EN 13997:1999 is a European standard for fire dampers. Fire dampers are devices that are installed in buildings to stop the spread of fire and smoke. The standard tells how these devices should be designed, installed, and checked to make sure they work well. It also tells how well the devices should work during a fire, like how long they can stop fire and smoke from spreading. Test results show if the fire dampers meet the requirements of the standard and work as they should during a fire.

• PPE Category 2

  PPE stands for "personal protective equipment." PPE Category 2 refers to equipment that is more complex, and has a higher level of risk. Examples of PPE Category 2 include safety helmets, ear protection, and fall arrest equipment. In Europe, PPE Category 2 must meet certain safety standards set by the European Union, which means that it must be designed and manufactured to protect the user without causing harm. Companies that make or sell PPE must prove that it meets these standards. They also must have a quality management system in place and have to be audited regularly by a notified body.

• CE Marking

  CE Marking is a label that shows a product meets certain safety and environmental standards set by the European Union. To get the CE Marking, a company must test and certify their product meets these standards. CE Marking is required for many products sold in the EU, including electronics, machinery, toys and medical devices. It helps ensure that products are safe for consumers and the environment, and allows for easy trade within the EU.
