When the Certification Was Real but the Product Wasn't: A French Safety Distributor's Three-Year Exposure
A French distributor of industrial safety equipment had been supplying EN-certified cut-resistant work gloves to manufacturing and logistics clients across France for three years. The gloves carried a valid CE mark under EU PPE Regulation 2016/425, backed by an EU Type Examination Certificate from a recognised Notified Body. Procurement was straightforward — one Guangzhou supplier, consistent pricing, no significant complaints. The distributor engaged MAXAM Group as part of a routine quality review of its Asian sourcing portfolio, expecting to establish a baseline framework before adding new suppliers. The audit found something that had already been going wrong for at least fourteen months — quietly, and without any of the visible signals that normally prompt a supplier review.
