What exactly has changed?

A new version of DIN 13169 has been in force since November 2021. When it came into force, the large first aid kits were equipped with the following additional products in accordance with DIN 13169 :

As plasters are among the most frequently used materials in the first aid kit, the quantities have been adjusted as follows:

24 pieces of quick wound dressing 10 x 6 cm (previously: 16 pieces)
12 finger tip bandages 5 x 4 cm (previously: 8 pieces)
12 finger bandages 12 x 2 cm (previously: 8 pieces)
12 plaster strips 7.2 x 1.9 cm (previously: 8 pieces)
24 plaster strips 7.2 x 2.5 cm (previously: 16 pieces)

What are the differences between DIN 13169 and DIN 13164 or DIN 13157?

In contrast to DIN 13157 cases, first aid kits in accordance with DIN 13169 contain twice the amount of first aid material. The contents of the motor vehicle first aid kit in accordance with DIN 13164 include additional components such as a fingertip bandage or quick wound dressing, additional plaster strips or an eye compress.

How many first aid kits and what contents are required in my company?

The ASR stipulates how companies (e.g. processing plants or trading companies) and construction sites must be equipped with company first aid kits/first aid material depending on the type of activity and number of employees. In principle, one first aid kit in accordance with DIN 13157 is sufficient for a workforce of up to 50 people. If there are between 50 and 300 employees, a first aid kit in accordance with DIN 13169 (or 2 DIN 13157 cases) should be available .
