Important Update to Body Protector Standards.

The original announcement of the rules change regarding PPE stated that body protectors must be to the EN13158 standard.

For clarification, this rule has been revised and now states that body protectors must be to the EN13158 or BETA Level 3 standard. This standard offers the highest level of body protection within the standard.

The revised rule is as below.
