These Regulations are made under section 45C, 45F(2) and 45(P) of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 implementing temporary arrangements to facilitate the production and supply of PPE 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 Wales and may only be relied on if the HSE has authorised them by a specified date and come into force on IP completion day.
