Speed and documentation
- Typical lead time
- 1–3 weeks for standard stock items. Branding with the company logo adds 1–2 weeks.
Supplies
Every line arrives with the document the committee asks for.
Personal protective equipment and workwear
A small line in the budget and a large one at inspection. Category II and III PPE requires a notified body certificate — not simply a CE mark printed on the label.

Standards
The standard in the BoQ decides what can and cannot be delivered.
Which standards prove conformity?
We check which standard is written into the contract documents and confirm in writing that what we propose meets it. Where the written requirement does not exist on the market in that form, we say so before ordering, not after delivery.
- Regulation (EU) 2016/425
- Personal protective equipment. Splits PPE into categories I, II and III — for II and III a notified body certificate is mandatory.
- BDS EN 397
- Industrial safety helmets.
- BDS EN ISO 20345
- Safety footwear — classes S1, S1P, S2, S3.
- BDS EN 388

Documents
A missing document is declared missing.
Which documents does the acceptance committee receive?
- EU declaration of conformity
- EU type-examination certificate from a notified body for categories II and III
- Instructions for use in Bulgarian — required by the regulation
- Marking with the applicable standard on the item itself
The documents arrive with the goods, organised line by line. We do not go looking for them once the committee asks.
Lead times
Indicative. A binding deadline is given only in a written quote.
Europe or Asia — which makes sense for this group?
Asia
Price and volume
- When it makes sense
- Suits large quantities of workwear and footwear. For fall protection and respiratory protection we insist on the European channel — there the document and the quality are not negotiable.
