Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) Some products on the market that provide a protective function to the user are excluded from the scope of Directive 89/686/EEC. In order to ensure as high level of protection for the user of those products as for the PPE covered by Directive 89/686/EEC, the scope of this Regulation should include PPE for private use against damp, water and heat (e.g. dish-washing gloves, oven gloves), in line with similar PPE for professional use which is already covered by Directive 89/686/EEConly if they are supposed to be understood as potentially life-saving by the consumer, or products intended to be used by children. Artisanal products, such as handmade gloves, for which the manufacturer does not explicitly claim a protective function are not personal protective equipment either; they are therefore not concerned by this inclusion. It is also appropriate to clarify the exclusion list set out in Annex I to Directive 89/686/EEC by adding a reference to products covered by other legislation and/or European harmonised standards and therefore are excluded from the PPE Regulation.

Recital 14
(14) It is necessary to ensure that PPE entering the Union market complies with this Regulation, with European harmonised standards and, in particular, that appropriate assessment procedures have been carried out by manufacturers. Provision should therefore be made for importers to make sure that the PPE they place on the market complies with the requirements of this Regulation and that they do not place on the market PPE which does not comply with such requirements or which present a risk. Provision should also be made for importers to make sure that the conformity assessment procedures have been carried out and that the CE marking and technical documentation drawn up by manufacturers are available for inspection by the market surveillance authorities.
