PPE which is in conformity with a designated standard or part thereof shall be presumed to be in conformity with the essential health and safety requirements set out in Annex II covered by that standard or part thereof.

The presumption in paragraph 1 is rebuttable.

The F3... declaration of conformity shall state that the fulfilment of the applicable essential health and safety requirements set out in Annex II has been demonstrated.

The F4... declaration of conformity shall have the model structure set out in Annex IX, shall contain the elements specified in the relevant modules set out in Annexes IV, VI, VII and VIII and shall be continuously updated. It shall be F6in English.

Where PPE is subject to more than one enactment requiring a declaration of conformity, the manufacturer must draw up a single declaration of conformity which identifies each enactment by its title.

By drawing up the F5... declaration of conformity, the manufacturer shall assume responsibility for the compliance of the PPE with the requirements laid down in this Regulation.

Paragraph 1 is subject to paragraph 1A.

The F13UK marking shall be affixed visibly, legibly and indelibly to the PPE. Where that is not possible or not warranted on account of the nature of the PPE, it shall be affixed to the packaging and to the documents accompanying the PPE.

The F13UK marking shall be affixed before the PPE is placed on the market.

For category III PPE, the F13UK marking shall be followed by the identification number of the F15approved body involved in the procedure set out in Annex VII or VIII.

The identification number of the F15approved body shall be affixed by the body itself or, under its instructions, by the manufacturer or his authorised representative.

The F13UK marking and, where applicable, the identification number of the F14approved body may be followed by a pictogram or other marking indicating the risk against which the PPE is intended to protect.
