Details

This Safety Information Message supersedes and replaces IM/2020/012 Informed Choices: Testing Guidance for Products in Mental Health Facilities.

The Informed Choices: Testing Guide for Products in Mental Health provides independent testing methodologies for materials, fixtures and hardware that have been specifically designed for use within mental healthcare facilities. It enables manufacturers to confidently declare the functional performance of their product and thus enables specifiers and procurers of healthcare to make safer and informed choices, appropriate for their service users or patients.
