The MHRA is not interested in quality only safety and then not as an absolute.
It is up to the purchaser to ensure the equipment is of sufficient quality for their needs. The MHRA are only interested in equipment not operating as it is supposed to. Even if a piece of equipment does something unsafe, as long as the manual says it will do it, the MHRA can do nothing, unlike the FDA in the US.
I reported a piece of equipment to the then MDA for not operating in what I considered a safe way. The man from the MDA agreed but said they have no power to insist on absolute safety only correct operation. Again it is down to the purchaser to ensure that they equipment functions exactly how they want it to.
The buck stops with the purchaser....us?
