Request Summary: Declaration Of Conformity

Request Category: Private Individuals


Question Number 1: I am requesting the Regulation (EU) 2016/425 Declarations of Conformity for all type IIR surgical masks provided as PPE to staff since 15 June 2020. Regulation (EU) 2016/425 states that the Declarations of Conformity must be provided physically with the PPE or a weblink printed on the PPE packaging. Which means if the PPE provided is legally complaint, then the Declarations of Conformity will be readily accessible.

Answer To Question 1: This information is not held at the Trust as the provision of IIR masks was the responsibility of NHS Supply Chain as per the PPE push model developed for COVID responsiveness which is still in place.
