Before products can be placed on the European market they must meet the requirements of the European Directive for Personal Protective Equipment 89/686/EEC.  The Directive lays down the requirements which PPE must satisfy in order to ensure the health and safety of users, proper product placement on the market and free movement within the Community.

 Our international accreditation for testing and assessing PPE to European standards coupled with our strategic alliance with Certottica Scarl of Italy (notified body #0530 to the European Directive 89/686/EEC) yields a CE provision partnership with global and effective CE certification partner.

The ICS-Certottica alliance will continue to provide affordable pathway to CE certification for their products.
