The answer is the usual one to tricky Health and Safety questions - the 
equipment must simply be safe to use. Certification etc. is an OPTION; 
the management has a responsibility to provide safe equipment and how it 
assures itself that the equipment is safe is ALSO its own 
responsibility.

The next slide says 'Do a risk assessment, and document it.'
