Recital 9
(9) Some products on the market that provide a protective function to the user are excluded from the scope of Directive 89/686/EEC. In order to ensure as high level of protection for the user of those products as for the PPE covered by Directive 89/686/EEC, the scope of this Regulation should include PPEproducts for private use against damp, water and heat (e.g. dish-washing gloves, oven gloves), in line with similar PPE for professional use which is already covered by Directive 89/686/EEC. Artisanal products, such as hto protect against heat, as well as products with reflective or fluorescent components, the main functions of which are protective and which are explicitly described and made gloves, for whichrketed accordingly by their manufacturer does not explicitly claim a protective function are not personal protective equipment; they are therefore not concerned by this inclusion. It is also appropriate to clarify the exclusion list set out in Annex I to Directive 89/686/EEC by adding a reference to products covered by other legislation and therefore are excluded from the PPEs. Products of a decorative nature or for private use to protect against harmless atmospheric conditions, damp, water or cleaning materials of weak action are not PPE and should not therefore fall within the scope of the Regulation.
