Roadmap – to do‘s
• Pre-Evaluation period:
© MSA 2014
◘
Check if PPE directive requirements are covered
(key word: “Annex ZA”), if necessary attempt to
influence ISO prior to FDIS
◘
Identify affected ENs

Roadmap – to do‘s
 Evaluation period:
• Impact assessment (to be done by a task group)
• Guide 17: SME (to be done by a task group)
• Readiness of test houses (to be done by WG Test
methods)
• Gap analysis: is ISO covering all aspects of todays EN
Standards (ISO 17420, ISO 16900, ISO 16975) (to be
done by the appropriate WG for products)
• Evaluation for the appropriate duration for the transition
period (to be done by a task group)
