"Made in Europe" is a label used to indicate that a product has been manufactured or produced in Europe. The European Union (EU) has regulations that set the requirements for the "Made in" label. According to EU rules, products that are labeled as "Made in" must be entirely produced within the EU. This means that all the stages of production, from raw materials to the finished product, must take place within the EU. However, the EU does not have specific rules for labeling a product "Made in Europe" as a whole, because Europe is not a single country but a continent. Each country may have their own regulations for labeling a product "Made in Europe", and it's important to check the regulations of the country where the product will be sold.

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.
