PPE is the one category where the wrong item is not just a cost but a risk. Four things belong in every request: the **hazard being protected against**, the **relevant EN standard and performance level**, the **size distribution**, and whether **a declaration of conformity and test certificate** are required with delivery. Writing “work gloves” invites six incomparable quotes; writing “EN 388 cut level C, oil-resistant palm, sizes 8–11” invites one product. Sizing is part of protection, not comfort: a loose sleeve near rotating machinery is a hazard, and one size up on high-visibility clothing can change the class it achieves. **Scope:** We supply **materials** in this category. We do not provide OHS consultancy, risk assessment and safety training. Our commitment ends with delivering the right product, in the right quantity, on the stated date to the delivery point named on the quote — anywhere across Türkiye’s 81 provinces, or abroad under the agreed Incoterm. Buying PPE is never just about price: it requires the right protection class, the right standard (CE, EN), the right sizes and on-time delivery. AKSCO quotes products matching your HSE specification exactly, documentation included. For businesses running periodic PPE distribution, we pack by personnel/size lists and ship per location. For urgent needs — pre-audit completion, new site openings — expedited supply options are available. - Head & face protection - Hand protection - Foot protection - Respiratory protection - Fall protection - Workwear - Eye & ear protection - Site safety equipment PPE groups, standards and planning intervals | Equipment | Standard | What decides the choice | Planning interval | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Safety helmet | EN 397 (industrial) / EN 12492 (mountaineering helmets, also used for work at height) | 440 V AC marking for electrical work, +150 °C for hot environments | 3–5 years from date of manufacture | | Safety eyewear | EN ISO 16321-1 (formerly EN 166) | Impact level C / D / E (EN ISO 16321-1: 45 / 80 / 120 m/s); EN 166 marks F / B / A (45 / 120 / 190 m/s) appear on products certified to EN 166 up to 11 Nov 2025 while that certificate runs — the levels do not map one to one; optical class | 12 months | | Work gloves | EN 388 / 407 / 511 / 374 | Cut level (A–F under ISO 13997), chemical type (A / B / C) | Weekly to monthly, depending on the task | | Safety footwear | EN ISO 20345:2022 | S1PS (dry indoor) / S3S (wet, outdoor site).

Intervals are for planning and budgeting, not legal minimums — your risk assessment and the manufacturer’s instructions take precedence.

A single request often spans several categories; they are priced in one quote and settled on one invoice. The full list is on [product categories](https://aksco.com.tr/en/products/), and Turkish procurement terms you will meet on the paperwork are explained in the [glossary](https://aksco.com.tr/en/glossary/). ## Frequently Asked Questions Do you share CE/EN certificates? Yes. Declarations of conformity and test certificates are shared at quoting; copies for your audit file accompany the delivery. Can we order mixed sizes? Yes. We prepare mixed cartons by your personnel/size list and can ship them separated per location. Which documents should be supplied with PPE? For Category III PPE (fall arrest, respiratory protection, chemical protection) the CE mark is followed by a four-digit notified body number. Every category carries an EU declaration of conformity (supplied with the product or linked in the instructions). For all categories, the manufacturer’s instructions in the user’s language must accompany the product. We state item by item in the quote which document is supplied; conformity declarations and test certificates are provided at quotation stage on request and copies ship with the goods. How is PPE size collected for a large order? By measurement, not by asking people to state their size, and confirmed with a sample size set before the order is placed. Size marking on protective clothing is based on body dimensions in centimetres under EN ISO 13688 — chest girth and height for upper garments, waist girth and height for trousers — so the centimetre data stays valid even if the brand changes. Our planning assumption (not a published figure) is a 10–20% exchange rate for declaration-based collection and 3–7% with measurement plus a sample set. How often does PPE need replacing? There is no single legal interval; the manufacturer’s instructions and your own risk assessment govern. Practical planning figures: safety footwear and high-visibility clothing around 12 months, earmuffs around 24 months, helmets 3–5 years from date of manufacture, disposable respirators marked NR for a single shift. Fall arrest equipment is withdrawn immediately after any fall, regardless of age. Do you ship outside Türkiye? Yes. We deliver across all 81 provinces of Türkiye and arrange export shipments abroad. On export orders the delivery term is agreed at quotation stage under Incoterms 2020 — EXW, FCA, CPT or DAP — and the quote states which party arranges and pays for carriage, and where our responsibility ends. Country of origin, HS code and any conformity documents needed for export are settled at the same stage. What does an export quote include, and what does it not? It includes the goods, export packing where required, and carriage up to the point defined by the agreed Incoterm. It does not include destination-country duties, taxes or customs charges — those sit with the buyer. Cargo insurance is not automatic under EXW, FCA, CPT or DAP; if you want it arranged, say so in the request and it appears as a separate line. Turkish VAT is zero-rated on exports once export clearance is completed. Is there a minimum order for an export shipment? There is no fixed minimum, but freight economics set a practical floor: on a low-value single-line order, carriage can exceed the value of the goods. Consolidating several categories into one shipment is usually what makes an export order worth placing — which is the same reason our buyers consolidate domestically. Tell us the delivery country and we will say honestly whether the freight makes sense before you spend time on a specification. These three questions are the same on every category and industry page. The full answer — Incoterms, the document set and ISPM 15 packing — is in our [export shipping guide](https://aksco.com.tr/en/insights/export-shipping-from-turkiye/). ## Related guides ### [PPE Replacement Intervals: How Often Should Each Item Be Renewed?](https://aksco.com.tr/en/insights/ppe-replacement-intervals/) From hard hats to harnesses, gloves to earplugs — typical service lives of personal protective equipment and how to turn them into a stock plan.
