Case Study: Bollé Safety accelerates PPE certification for pandemic eye protection with UL Solutions

UL Solutions Prioritizes Certification for Crucial Pandemic Eye Protection

Bollé Safety, an internationally recognized producer of protective eyewear, faced a critical challenge at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. They needed to quickly get new safety goggles tested and certified for use by medical professionals, a process complicated by a new manufacturing site in China and the urgent global demand for PPE. The company turned to UL Solutions for its product certification services to navigate these logistical and timing hurdles.

UL Solutions implemented a streamlined certification process by arranging local testing in China through a partner and having its European Notified Body in the Netherlands certify the goggles to the necessary standards. This global approach overcame language barriers and saved crucial time on shipping and communication. As a result, UL Solutions enabled Bollé to rapidly manufacture and deliver certified, high-quality protective eyewear to frontline healthcare workers across Europe during a critical time of need.
