In 1988, the former National Standardization Technical Committee for Labor Protection initiated a study on the standard system for protective equipment. By 1990, with approval from the former Ministry of Labor, the Shanghai Institute of Labor Protection launched an official standard framework for labor protection articles, based on the previous National Labor Protection Standardization Technical Committee. Over the following years, a preliminary structure for the development of protective equipment standards was established. During this time, research institutes and related organizations actively participated in drafting standards, resulting in several key regulations such as general technical conditions for shockproof gloves, safety shoes, dust masks, and raincoats.
However, due to organizational changes, the progress of these standards did not meet initial expectations. In recent years, with China's accession to the WTO, rapid economic growth, evolving ISO standards, and increasing demands for workplace safety, new requirements have emerged for personal protective equipment (PPE) standards. The old system no longer fully meets current needs. Based on the development trends of PPE and public expectations, the updated concept of "people-centered" has been introduced into the new standard system.
The initial assumptions of the revised PPE standard system include:
1) At the structural level, PPE standards are categorized into three levels: professional general standards, category-specific standards, and product standards. The first level, professional general standards, outlines common and fundamental requirements such as classification, terminology, selection guidelines, and testing methods. The second level includes general standards for specific categories like head, respiratory, eye, and face protection, including basic and method standards. The third level consists of product standards, which can be either general technical conditions for similar products or specific standards for individual items, such as flame-resistant clothing.
2) In terms of content, PPE standards cover ten major categories: head protection, respiratory protection, eye and face protection, hearing protection, trunk protection, hand protection, skin care products, foot protection, fall protection, and other specialized protections. Each category includes various types of equipment, such as safety helmets, respirators, protective goggles, earplugs, protective clothing, gloves, skin care agents, safety shoes, and fall arrest systems.
3) From a classification perspective, PPE standards are divided into three types: basic standards, method standards, and product standards. Basic standards define the fundamental requirements for general and category-specific standards, such as terminology, selection guidelines, and general technical conditions. Method standards specify testing procedures, such as those for seat belts and helmets. Product standards provide detailed regulations for similar or specific products.
