PPE-LS means any device or means defined in article R. 322-27 intended to be worn or held by a person in order to protect them against one or more risks likely to threaten their health and safety.
The following are also considered as PPE-SL, within the meaning of this section:
1° An assembly made up of several devices or means which are joined together by the manufacturer with a view to protecting a person against one or more risks likely to be incurred simultaneously when practising a sport or leisure activity;
2° A protective device or means attached, whether or not separable, to non-protective individual equipment, worn or held by a person with a view to engaging in a sporting or leisure activity;
3° Interchangeable components of a PPE-SL which are essential to its proper functioning and used exclusively for this PPE-SL.
Any connecting system placed on the market with the PPE-SL to connect it to another, complementary, external device is considered to be an integral part of a PPE-SL, even when this connecting system is not intended to be worn or held permanently by the user during the period of exposure to the risks.
