The Government has announced it intends to introduce legislation to continue recognition of the CE marking and reversed epsilon marking to provide more flexibility and reduce burdens using its regulatory autonomy to help businesses during the current global economic and supply chain challenges.
In a package of measures: Marking will continue until 31 December 2024, Continue to allow businesses to affix the UKCA marking, and to include importer information for products from EEA countries (and in some cases, Switzerland) on an accompanying document or a label until 31 December 2027, Reduce re-testing costs for UKCA certification by allowing conformity assessment activities for CE marking undertaken by 31 December 2024 to be used by manufacturers as the basis for UKCA marking, until the expiry of the certificate or until 31 December 2027, whichever is sooner.
A webinar will take place specifically for businesses and intermediaries regarding these measures on Wednesday 16 November at 15:00. (you can access it using this link) and detail may be found here.
