What is the minimum order quantity for certified disposable protective clothing from a factory with ISO 13485?

MOQ varies by factory and SKU. At eztio, standard SKUs start at 50,000 pieces. Custom configurations such as modified protection levels, private-label packaging, or non-standard sizes typically require higher minimums, so MOQ and lead time should be confirmed before tender submission.

Can the same garment be certified to both EN 14126 and AAMI PB70?

Yes. Dual certification is efficient for buyers supplying both EU and US markets. Higher protection levels overlap significantly because EN 14126 Type 3 includes ISO 16604 viral penetration testing and AAMI PB70 Level 4 uses ASTM F1671. Buyers should ask for test reports covering both standards and confirm that the CE certificate and FDA 510(k) clearance reference the same SKU.

What documentation does my EU importer of record need for medical protective clothing?

At minimum, the importer needs a CE certificate referencing the specific EN standard, an EU Declaration of Conformity, test reports from an EU-recognized accredited laboratory, and UDI registration in EUDAMED.

How do I verify that a supplier's seam construction actually meets the spec, not just passes visual inspection?

Request a peel strength test report for adhesive-bonded seams or weld parameter records for ultrasonic welding lines. For Type 3 or AAMI PB70 Level 4 protection, the seam itself should be tested to ISO 16604 or ASTM F1671, not only the base material.

What lead time should I plan for bulk disposable protective clothing orders?

For standard SKUs with existing certification, 15-25 days from order confirmation is typical. Custom configurations, new protection levels requiring new test reports, or new packaging artwork typically require 30-45 days for the first production run. Buyers should also allow customs clearance buffer time: EU import typically adds 5-10 business days, while first-time US FDA entry review can add 3-7 business days.
