General provisions  
1. These Technical regulations set forth requi rements concerning safety level of personal 
protective equipment, implementation of proce dures for assessment of conformity to such 
requirements, set forth the rules for labeling su ch equipment and putting it into circulation.  
Equipment for personal protection (hereinafter - protective equipment) should be understood as 
equipment that is intended for wearing by the user  and/or for ensuring user’s protection from one 
or several types of thre ats to life or health.  
Protective equipment also includes:  a combination of several kinds of devices or eq uipment that is intended for ensuring protection 
of the user from one or several kinds  of potential (simultaneous) risks;  
protective devices or equipment that is intended for wearing by the user or for ensuring his 
protection, which form a part of  other equipment or are used  in combination with other 
equipment;  
replaceable components of protective equipment that is necessary for normal operation of the 
equipment and are used only with such equipment.  
2. Protective equipment can belong to a ny of the following three categories:  
1) first category - protective equipment that ha s simple design and is designed for protection 
from:  
insignificant mechanical impacts (g arden gloves, thimbles etc.);  
impact of light detergents whose effects can be easily removed (gloves for protection from 
solutions of detergents);  
temperature impact resulting from contact with surfaces heated to the temperature that does not 
exceed 50° C, and not harmful mechanical impacts (gloves, aprons, etc.);  
weather conditions (hats, seasona l clothes, footwear, etc.);  
light mechanical impacts and vibrations that do not have an impact on vital body organs and can 
not cause incurable damages (l ight protective helmets, glove s, light footwear, etc.);  
sun light (protective sun glasses);  
2) second category - protective equipment that has a design of medium complexity and does not 
belong to the first or the third categories;  
3) third category - protective equipment that has a design of high complexity and is intended for 
protection from dangers that threat en human life, or from dangers that can cause incurable bodily 
harm, where the user of protective equipment may be unable to timely asse ss the degree of the 
danger.  The third category includes:

3. Equipment that is supplied to the market t ogether with the protective equipment and is 
intended for use in combination with other outside (auxiliary) devices is an integral part of such 
protective equipment.  
4. Free circulation of prot ective equipment in the territory of Ukraine shall be allowed only if 
such equipment is safe for life and health, ensu res protection of the user from injuries and 
diseases if used as intended and provided ther e is a proper level if se rvice and maintenance.  
5. Producer or his authorized person or supplier must be informed about the decision passed in 
conformity with these Technica l regulations to limit introductio n of the protective equipment 
into free circulation, specifying reasons for this  decision and notifying of protective measures 
provided for by the legislation and final date s for implementation of such measures.  
6. These Technical regulati ons shall not apply to pr otective equipment that:  
1) is regulated by other technical regulations;  
2) is specifically intended for used in the Armed Forces or for law enforcement purposes 
(helmets, shields, etc.);  
3) is intended for self-defense  (aerosol sprays, personal weap on for self-defense, etc.);  
4) is used on board of vessels, airplanes and during rescue operations and is not intended for 
constant use/wear;
