Over the past 2 weeks we have received a number of enquiries relating to CE Certification and Declarations of Conformity – specifically for Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) to be bought into the UK for supply to key healthcare workers.
The ‘Certificate’ shown is one of many we have seen, that is not what it first appears. this is NOT a CE Certificate and is also not a Declaration Of Conformity. We will be publishing further guidance in the next few days relating to how you can check the supporting documentation to ensure it is accurate and relates to the PPE it refers to. Best place to check whether the company issuing the certificate is a notified body is via the Nando website –
