Before submitting a certification application:

- Identify the risk category of the footwear
- Prepare the necessary technical documentation: technical file and instructions for use
CATEGORY I
CATEGORY II
At the end of the certification process, affix the CE marking to the PPE and prepare the EU Declaration of conformity (Annex IX to Regulation (EU) 2016/425).
Keep the EU declaration of conformity and the technical documentation for 10 years from when the PPE is placed on the market.
Does the certificate have an expiry date?
