Safe water sports with Mystic Boarding.
What is the trigger?
Mystic's products are mostly intended for use in (extreme) water sports. The quality and safety of these products is therefore of the utmost importance. But how do you ensure that your products comply with all applicable legal product safety requirements? And how do you apply this efficiently and effectively within your current business processes?
Personal Protective Equipment.
Watersports equipment such as helmets and impact vests are intended to protect the user from risks of injury. Therefore, these products fall under the category of "Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)" and must bear a CE mark.
How did we help?
The general legal product safety requirements for PPE are set out in European Regulation (EU) 2016/425. The regulation classifies PPE based on the level of risks against which the product is intended to protect the user. A different conformity assessment procedure is used for each category. The regulation also places obligations on economic operators; these differ by role.
"Mystic was looking for a partner who could advise, support and relieve them of the entire product compliance process."
The specific product safety requirements for PPE are laid down in harmonized European standards. By testing the product against the applicable standards, a presumption of conformity to the regulation can be demonstrated. In addition, the standards also contain mandatory product markings and instructions.
What does it deliver for the customer?
Précon has provided insight into all these legal requirements per product group and summarized them in so-called "product compliance protocols." With these protocols, Mystic has a clear overview of the specific requirements and is able to gather the necessary documentation themselves and provide their products with the correct markings and instructions.
In addition, Mystic can turn to Précon daily for audits and validation of documentation, artwork and instructions and for advice on other compliance issues.
