What is DTAC v2?
DTAC v2 is NHS England's Digital Technology Assessment Criteria, the baseline every digital health product must pass to be used in the NHS. It's the first thing trusts, ICBs and framework buyers ask for.
It bundles five domains: clinical safety (DCB0129/0160), data protection, technical security, interoperability, and usability & accessibility.
DigiSafe writes, reviews and signs DTAC v2 for suppliers of clinical software, AI, ambient voice scribes, apps and medical devices.

Frequently asked questions
What is DTAC v2?
+
DTAC v2 is the NHS England Digital Technology Assessment Criteria, the baseline assessment every digital health product must pass to be used in the NHS. It covers clinical safety, data protection, technical security, interoperability and usability & accessibility.
Is DTAC v2 mandatory?
+
For any digital health product used by NHS staff or patients, yes. NHS trusts, ICBs and framework buyers will ask for a completed DTAC before procurement.
How is DTAC v2 different from v1?
+
DTAC v2 (published 2025) sharpens evidence requirements for clinical safety, AI, cyber security and usability, and aligns more tightly with DCB0129, DCB0160 and AI assurance expectations.
How long does DTAC v2 take?
+
With DigiSafe, most first-time completions take 3-6 weeks once we have your DCB0129 file, DSPT, cyber posture, and product documentation. Renewals are faster.
Do you also write our DCB0129 file for DTAC?
+
Yes, DCB0129 sits inside the DTAC clinical safety section, so we usually deliver both together.
