SGS, the worlds leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published a SafeGuardS looking at the decision by the Government of the United Kingdom (UK) to indefinitely extend recognition of CE marking for most goods being placed onto markets in England, Scotland and Wales (Great Britain, GB).
The announcement by the UK Government means CE marking will be recognized beyond December 2024 in relation to:
Toys
Pyrotechnics
Recreational craft and personal watercraft
Electromagnetic compatibility
Non-automatic weighing instruments
Measuring instruments
Measuring container bottles
Lifts
Equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres (UKEX)
Radio equipment
Pressure equipment
Simple pressure vessels
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Gas appliances
Machinery
Equipment for use outdoors
Aerosols
Low voltage electrical equipment
Government representatives at a recent gathering of the UK Approved Bodies Group for UKEX stated that while there is an ongoing proposition to modify the marking stipulation, there exists no immediate intention to eliminate other associated prerequisites concerning this equipment.
Stakeholders should be aware this means companies importing products from the EU are still required to have a designated UK importer and stipulations for UK declarations of conformity referencing UK designated standards remain unchanged.
