Enterprise Inc. The authorisation of any new CED in the UK requires significant and rigorous independent scientific and technical assessment. This testing ensures all necessary safety standards are met, alongside continued operational reliability when using the device against those who are violent or threaten violence. The Home Office are exploring options for independent testing of CEDs against specified testing requirements which would potentially be overseen in person by government officials. ## CPV classification Technical testing services Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment Police equipment Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-03e3c0-2023-07-20T12:04:09+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-03e3c0-2023-07-20T12:04:09+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
