What has changed?
This Recommendation (2021/1433)
relates specifically to the EU Commission Recommendation (EU) 2020/403 for PPE, which was issued on 13 March 2020 to provide a temporary easement process for the CE certification of personal protective equipment (PPE) to be used in healthcare to fight Covid-19.
This latest Recommendation (2021/1433), in essence brings about an end to this easement (according to the below timelines) and reiterates that all PPE placed on the European market after these dates must obtain full certification to the PPE Regulation.
