| Overview Established in 1996, and
incorporated in 2003, PVA Technical File Services Limited is now one
of the leading providers of consultancy and advisory services to
manufacturers, distributors, purchasers and end-users of personal
protective equipment (PPE).
Whilst for obvious confidentiality reasons we cannot divulge the
identities of our client companies, they range from small businesses
with less than 12 employees up to multi-national corporations with
staff numbering in the tens of thousands.
With an extensive working knowledge of EU Directives, manufacturing
methodology and product standards, PVA Technical File Services Limited
has rapidly established an enviable reputation for quality of service
and obtaining results! PVA provides on-site service throughout Europe
and elsewhere in the world, and is recognised for its pioneering
product development work in, for example, China, Indonesia, Korea,
Pakistan, Taiwan and Vietnam.
More recently, PVA has been involved in the drafting of British
Standards for protective equipment used by the police and military in
public disorder training and operations, and in the development of
products meeting the requirements of these standards. Technical
Director Paul Varnsverry regularly advises the police and military on
their equipment selection, and has given many lectures relevant to
this field of work around the globe to civilian and non-civilian
organisations alike.

Firsts
PVA Technical File Services Limited has scored a series of
"firsts" in the CE marking field.
Amongst the projects where we have secured the first EC
type-examination certificates for products of their type have been
applications for football players' shin pads and motorcyclists' back
protectors. We also project-managed the first application for approval
of motorcyclists' clothing by a manufacturer from outside of Europe
(Pakistan).
Recently, we dealt with an application for the EC type-approval of
an inflatable body protector for motorcyclists. This appears to be an
area of growing interest, and where a significant number of competing
products are beginning to appear in the market place. Our client's
products enjoy a distinct advantage, however, since they are to the
best of our knowledge the only such product to carry independent,
third party certification.
We also project-managed the first EC Type-Examination
certifications of personal defence shields and limb protectors for
Police and military users. This included the preparation of a
technical specification and test protocols for the testing and
assessment of these products; documents which have subsequently been
submitted to a BSI technical subcommittee to assist the preparation of
British Standards for these products.
We continue to work on a variety of other ground-breaking and
innovative projects in a number of other industries which will be
revealed within these pages in due course.
