The new standard does not rely on general categories such as \u201cbandages\u201d or \u201cgauze,\u201d but instead precisely defines dimensions, quantities, and technical specifications. For example, the <strong>thermal blanket<\/strong> must meet specific characteristics, compresses must have defined sizes, and bandages must cover different types of injuries.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, it introduces items that have often been missing from most kits until now. The inclusion of medical masks, clear first-aid instructions, and more comprehensive cleaning supplies reflects a more modern and practical approach, tailored to the real needs that may arise in a <strong>traffic accident<\/strong> or other <strong>emergency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4234\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hamed.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/cZuKjH7x1nm8wjdzUKMNYdoSiR3IglVnQfQGm4S4-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1364\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hamed.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/cZuKjH7x1nm8wjdzUKMNYdoSiR3IglVnQfQGm4S4-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hamed.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/cZuKjH7x1nm8wjdzUKMNYdoSiR3IglVnQfQGm4S4-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hamed.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/cZuKjH7x1nm8wjdzUKMNYdoSiR3IglVnQfQGm4S4-900x450.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.hamed.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/cZuKjH7x1nm8wjdzUKMNYdoSiR3IglVnQfQGm4S4.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1364px) 100vw, 1364px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>First-Aid Kit Mandatory Contents<\/h3>\n<p>The new standard precisely defines the materials that must be included in the kit.
