THE NEW REGULATION (EU) 2016/425
The experience accumulated since 1989 in the application of the 89/686/EEC directive on PPE
(Personal Protective Equipment) has demonstrated some inadequacies and inconsistencies.
The new regulation (EU) 2016/425 was therefore drafted by the European Parliament to introduce the
necessary corrections and replace the old directive.
Unlike a directive, a regulation does not need to be acknowledged and implemented in the legislation of
each EU member state. It therefore has the advantage of being identical and immediately applicable in
all countries of the European Union.
What is the progress of conformity with the new regulation concerning
CAMP, CAMP Safety and CASSIN Personal Protective Equipment?
C.A.M.P. followed the drafting of the regulation from the very beginning and immediately started to
implement the required action in order to offer its own clients products which were compliant to the new
regulation.
Thanks to our fast reaction we hereby inform you that all the PPE produced by C.A.M.P. from 21 April,
2019 is compliant to the new regulation.
More specifically, we are pleased to announce that the greatest majority of C.A.M.P.'s devices
produced since mid 2018 are already compliant to the new regulation, therefore for months now our
warehouses have been delivering compliant PPEs.
For an extremely limited number of products our warehouses offer stock compliant to Directive
89/686/EEC, which is salable up until 21 April, 2023 and usable till the end of its declared lifetime.
In terms of the new EU Declarations of Conformity, these are already available at the website
www.camp.it in 30 languages.
What are the main changes?
The regulation includes changes and clarifications concerning:
Ÿ the roles of the various economic operators involved (manufacturers, distributors, importers and
authorised representatives);
Ÿ the applicable requirements for certification processes with notified bodies;
Ÿ the requirements related to monitoring on the market and production controls.
It also defines new obligations concerning marking and user instruction manuals.
Last, but not least, it requires the manufacturers to review PPE certification every 5 years.

What are the consequences for retailers?
A transition period is defined for the switch from the directive to the regulation. Therefore:
Ÿ the devices certified in accordance with the old directive and already placed on the market
(manufactured and warehoused by the manufacturer before 21 April, 2019) can be sold in the
European Union until 21 April 2023;
Ÿ the devices certified in accordance with the new regulation can already be sold from 21 April 2018
(beginning of transitional period).
From the above it can be deduced that the first expiry of 21 April, 2019 is tied to production by
manufacturers and has no special importance for retailers.
Despite this fact, the choice of buying products from a manufacturer like C.A.M.P., who has been
updating its own stock of products compliant to the new regulation for a year now, is certainly quite
advantageous.
What are the consequences for companies and users?
The products certified in accordance with the old directive and purchased prior to 21 April 2023 can be
used for the entire life cycle specified in the product instruction manual.
How can you recognise a product certified under the old directive?
The instruction manual indicates conformity to directive 89/686/EEC.
How can you recognise a product certified in accordance with the new regulation?
If the product is certified in accordance with the new regulation, the instruction manual indicates:
Ÿ conformity with regulation (EU) 2016/425;
Ÿ the risks the PPE is intended to protect against;
Ÿ the website URL where the EU declaration of conformity can be downloaded.
For PPE produced by C.A.M.P., the new manuals clearly indicate compliance to the new EU regulation
on the cover. For a limited number of products, on the other hand, the old manual was updated with an
additional card which illustrates the information required by the new regulation.
