Update on the extension of CE mark recognition for businesses

Home 2023 08

Manufacturers across the UK will be pleased with the latest update on the extension of CE mark recognition for businesses. The UK government has confirmed that British firms will be able to continue the use of CE marking alongside UKCA indefinitely.

These updates apply to the 18 regulations that fall under the Department for Business and Trade. These are:

  • toys
  • pyrotechnics
  • recreational craft and personal watercraft
  • simple pressure vessels
  • electromagnetic compatibility
  • non-automatic weighing instruments
  • measuring instruments
  • measuring container bottles
  • lifts
  • equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX)
  • radio equipment
  • pressure equipment
  • personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • gas appliances
  • machinery
  • equipment for use outdoors
  • aerosols
  • low voltage electrical equipment

What should you do?

For now, you don’t need to do anything. Information is available on the government website. But, rest assured, we will update our clients on any further developments concerning CE and UKCA marking.

Update on revisions to ISO 9001:2015

Home 2023 08

Do you hold, or are you thinking of seeking, ISO 9001 certification? If so, you’ll want to know about the results of a recent meeting of the ISO/TC 176/SC 2. The ISO subcommittee for Quality Systems convened for a ballot about an update on revisions to ISO 9001:2015.

The much-anticipated vote determined whether or not a revision of the ISO 9001 standard should go ahead sooner rather than later. Although the next scheduled review is not until 2026, the committee voted to start a revision now.

What are the next steps?

The comforting news is that any changes won’t happen quickly, despite this decision. Before any changes can take place:

  • A working group to manage the project will need to be established.
  • The draft design specification will be circulated to all members of the subcommittee for comments. The working group will discuss these in due course.

What should you do?

For now, you don’t need to do anything. Even when the revisions to ISO 9001:2015 are introduced, you won’t have to adopt it straightaway. Once it is rolled out, we expect that certified organisations will have up to three years to switch. At least, that was grace period available after the last update (from ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015). This would seem a reasonable transition period in advance of the current version becoming obsolete.

Rest assured, we will update our ISO certified clients on any further developments which will affect your ISO 9001 certification.
