Greece has Updated the Regulatory Requirements for Vehicle First Aid Kits

In early April 2026, Greece updated its vehicle first aid kit requirements, aligning with widely accepted European standards such as DIN 13164:2022. This new car first aid kit standard will take effect on June 18, 2026. It covers all cars in Greece, including rental cars and foreign vehicles.

Under the new regulation, every mandatory car first aid kit in Greece must comply with DIN 13164:2022. This requirement applies to private cars, rental cars, imported vehicles, and company vehicles operating in Greece.

The old rule was made in 1978, and the old standard is out of date. Older kits may not meet current safety expectations or emergency needs. The new rule follows EU rules. It adds more useful tools to save lives, unify standards, and cut accident deaths.
