Great Britain: Updates about the UKCA and the CE marking Great Britain has published the Product Safety and Metrology etc. (Amendment) Regulations 2024. Several months ago, the United Kingdom has announced its intention to provide businesses with the flexibility to continue to place goods that meet current EU requirements, including the CE marking, on the market in Great Britain. This will apply to most manufactured products and this approach will cover 21 product regulations. These regulations cover a range of manufactured products including mobile phones, lifts, industrial machinery, toys and household appliances. The list of the regulations is available HERE. The United Kingdom is set to implement a ‘Fast-Track UKCA’ measure, enabling manufacturers to utilize the UKCA marking for compliance demonstration in Great Britain. This can be done with respect to either UKCA or EU product requirements, where acknowledged. In cases involving multiple regulations, a combination of UKCA and CE conformity assessment procedures is permissible.

Recently, an impact assessment was published by the EU Commission and a public consultation was launched. The existing Textile Labelling Regulation confines its rules to the fiber composition of textile products. This limitation has led to the emergence of divergent labeling requirements across Member States in various other labeling areas. Consequently, this scenario has not only heightened the complexity of information presented to consumers, often with overlapping details but has also created divisions within the internal market and escalated compliance costs for businesses.
