The UK Government has extended the recognition period for CE marking in Great Britain until 31 December 2024.Some key takeaways for members to be aware of:

• Starting in January 1st 2025, most goods being placed on the market or put into service in Great Britain, including recreational craft, will have to comply with the new UK Conformity Assessed.
• Conformity assessment activities for CE marking undertaken before 31 December 2024 will be allowed to be used as a basis for UKCA marking until the expiry of the certificate or until 31 December 2027, whichever is earlier.
• Companies will continue to be able to affix the UKCA marking and include importer information for products from EEA countries on an accompanying document or label until 31 December 2027.
