On 1 October 2024, UK legislation came into force to continue recognition of EU requirements, including the CE marking for a range of products being placed on the GB market. This legislation is called The Product Safety and Metrology Regulation (Amendment) 2024 and applies to 21 product regulations.
To further support industry, the UK government has provided new guidance pages to assist businesses in placing their products on the market.
You can find links to these pages below:
- Collection page: Placing manufactured products on the market
- Policy paper: Continued recognition of EU requirements for conformity assessed marking
- Guidance: Make use of recognition of EU requirements to place products on the GB market
- Guidance: Product regulations and current approaches to product marking
- Guidance: Using harmonised standards for placing CE marked products in Great Britain
Businesses are able to provide any feedback, comments, or questions on the UK’s approach to product marking directly to UK government via: goods.regulation@businessandtrade.gov.uk.
