Protective Clothing Category I

According to the “Regulation (EU) 2016/425 of 9 March 2016 on personal protective equipment”, PPE is classified into three main groups according to the risks taken in different types of work.

Category I Personal Protective Clothing

Specifically, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) belongs to Category I when it protects against minor physical risks, which do not cause irreversible injury. This PPE therefore protects against superficial injury caused by:

  • Mechanical tools;
  • Cleaning materials or prolonged contact with water;
  • Contact with hot objects, not exceeding 50°C;
  • Ordinary atmospheric phenomena in the course of professional activities;
  • Minor collisions and vibrations that could cause permanent injury to vital organs;
  • Eye injuries due to exposure to sunlight (not to be confused with injuries resulting from observation of the sun).

Category I PPE is designed so that the wearer can assess its effectiveness. Another important feature, defined in the “Regulation (EU) 2016/425 of 9 March 2016 on personal protective equipment”, is that every garment or device belonging to this category must have a CE declaration of conformity issued by the manufacturer, and the CE marking must be placed on the PPE and its packaging.
