FIRST AID KITS
A first aid kit is a collection of supplies and equipment that is used to give medical treatment. There is a wide
variation in the contents of first aid kits based on the knowledge and experience of those putting it together, the
differing first aid requirements of the area where it may be used and variations in legislation or regulation in a
given area.
The international standard for first aid kits is that they should be identified with the ISO 15223-1 graphical
symbol for first aid. RFX+CARE First Aid kits are all medical Class I, Is and CLASS IIa in accordance with Medical
Device Directive MDD 93/42/EEC_June1993.
