First aid kit car DIN 13164

Hopefully we don't have to tell you anything about the importance of a good first aid kit. The same solution is not good enough for everyone. For example, if you are a professional driver, it is important to have a good first aid kit in the car. In many countries this is even mandatory. And since you want to have a first-aid kit in the car, bus or truck, you should immediately go for a DIN 13164 first-aid kit.

This is a first aid kit with contents that are approved in countries where there is an obligation. Good to know: DIN 13164 applies to every driver. So not just for professional drivers. If you go to a country in which DIN 13164 applies, you are obliged to have a first-aid kit in the car that meets these requirements. You can also encounter this while on holiday.
