Rules in plain words

What to check

Anything sold as safety gear, like hi-vis vests, flame-retardant coveralls or knee pads, needs test reports before you make that claim. Hospital gowns and drapes may fall under medical device rules. Children's school uniforms may need safety testing.

Protective gear: only call a product "protective" or "safety" if it has been tested to the right standard. (14 product types)
Medical, dental and vet tools: buyers abroad usually need the maker to be registered with health regulators, such as the US FDA. (3 product types)
Children's products: they need safety tests for small parts, cords and chemicals before you sell them. (1 product types)

This is a summary, not legal advice. See the compliance checklist.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What counts as PPE?

PPE is any clothing or gear that claims to protect the wearer, such as hi-vis vests or welding gloves. It needs proper testing before you sell it as protective.

Can I sell hi-vis vests without tests?

You should not call them safety vests without tests. Some sellers offer printed event vests for stewards, but check your buyer's rules first.

How do I win repeat orders?

Uniform buyers reorder when staff change or grow. Keep their logo files and sizes on record so the next order is easy.
