What is the BSiF Registered Safety Supplier Scheme?
This information is taken from the BSiF website:
All PPE must be correctly tested and certified to meet the appropriate European standard. Unfortunately, the quantity of non-approved product being sold into the UK is on the increase. Such products should not be used for business because they contravene safety legislation.
Several items are available that claim CE approvals but in reality they have not been appropriately certified. Even worse, some items are in fact counterfeits of existing products. In our experience these products just do not perform as they should, putting lives at risk and again exposing the user to prosecution.
To help combat this, the BSIF has created the Registered Safety Supplier (RSS) scheme. Companies displaying the scheme’s logo have signed a binding declaration that the safety equipment they offer meets the appropriate standards, fully complies with the PPE regulations and is appropriately CE marked.
All Registered Safety Suppliers are independently audited to confirm compliance with the scheme’s requirements.
Remember, by using a Registered Safety Supplier you will only be supplied with genuine, appropriately approved products and you will receive sound advice with no attempt to mislead you.
To assist specifiers and users of PPE to spot potentially non-compliant product, experts from within the BSIF membership have created an easy-to-use checklist.
