BALTIC MASKS
How to check a product document
Start with the full model name on the product and packaging. The name should match the document you are checking.
- Identify whether the file is a technical data sheet, conformity declaration, type-examination certificate or a statement for a particular batch.
- Check the model, manufacturer, document number and revision or issue date.
- Read any printed expiry and conditions. Do not use the website upload date as the certificate validity date.
- For a batch declaration, match the LOT number and the manufacture and expiry information to the actual goods.
- Ask the supplier for current documents for the exact model and proposed order if anything is missing or inconsistent.
A statement extending a batch’s storage period does not itself extend a separate type-examination certificate. A document index helps locate files; it is not independent certification.
