As part of the fight against fake and
illegal personal protective equipment
(PPE), the British Safety Industry
Federation (BSIF) is building on its
resources to help users and enforcement
agencies identify illegal products.

It has launched a CE Certificate
Checklist to make it easier to identify
counterfeit and illegal certificates. If
the PPE buyer is concerned about the
performance or status of a product,
they should ask to see the CE
Certificate relating to the PPE they are
buying. Guidance leaflets and
checklists are available to download
free from the RSSS section of the
BSIF’s website: www.bsif.co.uk.
