# non-DEHP Blood Pack Validation
Source: [Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/non-dehp-blood-pack-validation-ocds-h6vhtk-043925). UK public procurement intelligence compiled from official UK procurement notices.
> **Notice summary:** Following a change in EU legislation, DEHP plasticiser will be removed from medical devices, including blood packs. NHSBT wishes to commence a validation process in early 2024 for non-DEHP primary collection and ancillary blood packs. To support validation of the blood packs and avoid duplication across multiple Blood Services, NHSBT will participate in the European Blood Alliance data sharing agreements, and will adopt the published EBA validation strategy as a framework for its own validation activities.
NHSBT intends to validate all non-DEHP blood pack systems that have received CE marking under EU MDR, or which have a credible application and timeline for receipt of the accreditation within the timeline of this validation project.
