MANUFACTURER’S COMMITMENT ON ITS APPROACH TO SECURING ESP MASKS
The company SIMON & Cie, manufacturer of ESP (Écrans Stop Postillons) - Respiratory droplet stop screens/masks-, declares to have followed a process of design, manufacture and distribution of ESP masks aimed at meeting the general product safety directive (directive 2001/95 / EC of the European parliament and of the council of December 3, 2001) and article L. 111 -1 of the consumer code (relative to consumer information).
This process involved:
-
Assessing the needs of end users,
-
Developing a technical solution, the ESP,
-
Listing and evaluating possible risks linked to physical use of the products,
-
Eliminating or at minimum reducing residual risks,
-
Informing distributors and users via the user manual including a warning/advisory notice:
- Product objectives,
- Proper wear practices, use, cleaning and storage,
- Precautions to consider and potential side effects,
- Effective conduct in the event of a fire,
- Standards and regulations which the product does not meet,
- Standards and regulations which the product meets, in particular the REACH 1907/2006 regulation, the EN71 / 3 toy standard and the EU 10/2011 food contact regulation,
- Categories of personnel at risk.
- Informing distributors and users through labeling in accordance with Directive 2001/95 / EC...
In the absence of standards covering the product, SIMON & Cie performed the analysis and control of potential risks product use through a trial and error approach, which relied on a panel of users and thereafter conducting an analysis of their feedback. This approach made it possible to:
-
Reformulate the product with non-allergenic substances (elimination of redness seen in some cases of contact),
-
Reduce or even eliminate residual odors by replacing certain substances,
-
Obtain a product compatible with food contact as well as Reach regulations.
SIMON & Cie is committed to continuing these actions in order to secure the users of ESP products by keeping a register of complaints and sharing product monitoring/tracking with distributors.
