PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)


Explanation:
PSA is the acronym for Persönliche Schutzausrüstung, as indicated by abkuerzungen.de

Example sentence(s):
  • "Die Akkreditierung umfasst sowohl die Produktzertifizierung Persönlicher Schutzausrüstung als auch die Zertifizierung von Qualitätsmanagementsystemen gemäß Artikel 11A/B der EG-Richtlinie 89/686/EWG.""
  • "Although harmonised standards for protective textiles have been developed under Directive 89/686/EEC on Personal Protective Equipment, innovative products very often involve added value in the form of new functionalities for which no standards exist."
