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.
