The Personal Protective Equipment (Temporary Arrangements) (Coronavirus) (England) Regulations 2020
The Regulations are made under section 45C of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 implementing temporary arrangements to facilitate the production and supply of PPE necessary for use during the Covid-19 crisis. These arrangements are similar to the proposals in the European Commission’s Recommendation 2020/403 of 13 March 2020 on conformity assessment and market surveillance procedures within the context of the COVID-19 threat ((OJ L 79I, 16.3.20 p. 1-5 ), but the arrangements in these Regulations are specific to England, may only be relied on if the HSE has authorised it by a specified date and come into force on IP completion day.
