BSIF's unprecedented number of PPE verification requests
20 April 2020
The latest statement from the BSIF confirms they are receiving an unprecedented number of requests for support in the verification of PPE Certificates and Declarations of Conformity.
Alan Murray has said, "We are of course happy to do this supporting the membership and stopping illegal PPE getting into the UK supply chain. The majority of certificates that we see are clearly not legitimate but there are occasions when documents have been forged and they have to be checked with Notified Bodies."
If you are presented with certificates which you are unsure of you can check their authenticity through the following portals

"We are constantly reporting the instances to Trading Standards and The Office for Product Safety and Standards and we will continue to do this. The COVID 19 crisis and the shortages have seen an incredible number of spurious offers from opportunist importers trying to take advantage. Don’t be caught out."
