SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published a Consumer Compact article detailing a Q&A on the impact of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and Brexit on product conformity for personal protection equipment (PPE).

Regulation (EU) 2016/425 – the PPE Regulation – came into force on April 21, 2018, with the aim of ensuring free movement of trade and consumer protection. However, since Brexit happened on January 1, 2021, PPE has been regulated by Regulation 2016/425 in the UK. While this essentially mirrors the EU regulation, there are some differences.

SGS’s Consumer Compact article covers a Q&A held by European PPE experts Anna Ruhala and Kelvin Shephard. It answers questions relating to general EU and UK requirements alongside issues of conformity assessment on a wide range of PPE products.

Read the original Consumer Compact article, ‘Understanding EU and UK PPE requirements: commonly asked questions’.

SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published a SafeGuardS looking at New York state’s recently approved legislation relating to carpet recycling.

S05027-C/A09279A carpet extended responsibility legislation requires all manufacturers of carpets selling their products within the state to engage in an approved industry-wide recycling plan or establish their own carpet collection program, which must also be approved by the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation.

After January 2026, carpet manufacturers will no longer be able to operate in the state unless they have an approved, reliable mechanism for consumers to recycle discarded and unused carpeting. The aim is to reduce landfill and encourage recycling into new carpets and other products.

SGS has published SafeGuardS 040.23 to help stakeholders understand the implications of the new legislation. This includes the way carpet is defined in Bill A09279A, mandatory goals that have been set for recycling and the penalties that noncompliant manufacturers will face. There are also details of the new requirements relating to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – ban beginning January 2025.

For more information, stakeholders should review SGS’s original SafeGuardS 040.23.

Note: the term ‘carpet’ does not include handmade rugs, area rugs or mats.

About SGS
We are SGS – the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company. We are recognized as the global benchmark for sustainability, quality and integrity. Our 97,000 employees operate a network of 2,650 offices and laboratories, working together to enable a better, safer and more interconnected world.

SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has announced a free webinar aimed at importers, exporters, freighter forwarders and consolidators involved in trade with Uganda.

Uganda’s pre-export verification of conformity (PVoC) program protects consumers from substandard products that may endanger human health and the environment. It ensures products entering the country conform to compulsory standards, technical regulations and/or approved equivalents. Once a product is deemed compliant, it is issued with a Certificate of Conformity (CoC), which enables Customs clearance for the certified consignment. Operators who fail to comply with pre-export verifications procedures risk delays, noncompliance and penalties.

SGS has recently been awarded its fourth consecutive contract to provide PVoC services by the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS); coming into force on March 1, 2023. Their product conformity assessment (PCA) services help facilitate trade in compliant products and protect Ugandan markets and consumers.

Led by industry expert Hellen Achieng, the complimentary webinar is being held on April 18, 2023, and will cover the SGS PVoC program and related procedures, penalties and the responsibilities of exporters, importers and inspection companies. It will also look at how to submit a CoC request through the Uganda Electronic Single Window.
