Brief Description of Requirement
The Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS); Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) is an appointed market surveillance authority, responsible for (via the Secretary of State) enforcing the General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR) within the UK.
Suppliers are strongly encouraged to read the text at the following link in order to gain a full understanding of the enforcement services role within OPSS:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/national-regulation-enforcement-services
The test results stemming from this tender will form part of a larger testing programme currently being undertaken by OPSS. The aim of this testing programme is to establish the baseline levels of non-compliance across a range of products. This tender is focusing on one product from that range. The results of this testing programme will help to inform future OPSS decision-making and aid impact measurement.
The successful bidder is to provide test results for 50 different examples of the below electrical product to verify their compliance against the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations. The test house will therefore receive 50 x 3 multiples of each sample to allow for the full suite of tests to be carried out. Therefore, the test house will receive 150 items in total. 50 x 3 = 150.
