Businesses given 2 additional years to apply UKCA marking
The UK government is introducing legislation to continue with the recognition of the CE marking until 31 December 2024 for goods being placed on the market in Great Britain, as a provision for manufacturers. The measures previously announced in June 2022 have amended timescales, in line with the extension. These measures intend to: - Reduce labelling costs by continuing 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.
