CERTIFICATION

Regolamento per
la certificazione UE

A product certificate is a document which proves that a device has undergone a certification process by an authorised third party to assess its conformity to the essential health and safety requisites set out in European regulations.

For Category II and III eye and face protection devices — such as goggles, face shields, and visors for protection against non-ionizing radiation, welding shields, visors for motorcycle and moped users, and eye protection devices against dust, gases, and liquids — obtaining EU type examination certificates from a notified body, such as Certottica, is mandatory before placing them on the market.
For more details on the documentation required based on the type of certification requested, please refer to the following regulation:

To initiate the product certification process, the manufacturer must submit a duly completed application for EU type examination and the technical documentation in accordance with Annex III of Regulation (EU) 2016/425. This includes the test reports necessary for the technical validation of the device being submitted for EU type examination, as required by Annex V (Module B) of Regulation (EU) 2016/425.
