The current PPE Directive permits the free movement of PPE in Europe while ensuring a high level of protection for its users. The proposal is aligned with the new legislative framework and seeks to modernise the Directive. It is expected that the proposed extension of the product coverage and the change of three basic health and safety requirements will be carefully assessed by the IMCO Members. The Commission will present the proposal on 3 December AM.
