Dear Intellectual Property Office,

I would like to request documents assessing the quality and safety of these products prior to their market launch:

The digital (GSM) mobile phone service launched by Vodafone in 1991
The PCW-16 Personal Computer launched by Amstrad in 1994

Yours faithfully,

Francesca Young

foi, Intellectual Property Office

Dear Ms Young,

Thank you for your information request. The Intellectual Property Office does not hold any information relevant to your request, the reason being the assessment of the safety of products is not part of its role.

The regulations governing the quality and safety of electronic goods are set at EU level. You may be able to find out useful information about the Electrical Equipment (Safety Regulations) 1994 and any similar prior EU legislation from EUROPA, the European Union website, or the Health and Safety Executive at: http://www.hse.gov.uk/work-equipment-mac... . You could also seek advice from the British Standards Institute https://www.bsigroup.com/en-GB/ .

I am sorry that we are unable to assist you further.

Regards,

Alison Smith | Information Rights Manager
