CE Marking

February 7, 2024 | Written by GreenSoft Technology, Inc.

UK Announces Expanded Recognition of CE Mark

CE-MarkUnited Kingdom announces intention to expand recognition of CE Mark across multiple regulations and product families

On January 24, the UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT) announced its intention to broaden the scope of product categories and regulations eligible for indefinite recognition of the CE Mark.

Previously, the UK DBT made an announcement in August 2023 that it would indefinitely recognize use of the CE Mark for products sold in the United Kingdom beyond the previous 2024 deadline for transitioning to the UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) mark.

However, that decision only affected products falling under one of the 18 regulations in the UK DBT regulatory scope, explained here.

 

The new provision will apply to 21 regulations, including the 18 product regulations under the UK DBT regulatory scope, as well as a further 3 regulations managed by non-DBT UK agencies:

  • Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2012 (EU RoHS) – managed by the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA)
  • Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products Regulations 2010 – managed by the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ)
  • Explosives Regulations 2014 – manager by the UK Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)

The new provision will indefinitely allow manufacturers to place products on the Great Britain market using either the UKCA Mark or the CE Mark, provided they satisfy the EU essential requirements and, where required, have undergo conformity assessment by an EU recognized conformity assessment body.

The UK government is introducing these changes as a fast-track provision that is expected to take effect in Spring 2024.

Additional details for these measures will be provided by the UK DBT in due course. The announcement of the intended provision can be found here.

GreenSoft Technology helps with UK regulations and data collection

With the scopes and deadlines of rules such as the UK RoHS regulation and the UKCA Mark requirements continually changing, it can be difficult for manufacturers to keep up. As part of our Data Services, GreenSoft Technology monitors regulations and keeps you up-to-date on changes that affect your company.

Our data team will collect and validate data from your supply chain which can be used to ensure your compliance with UK RoHS and other regulations, and help with aspects of the CE marking and UKCA marking requirements. Contact us to learn more.
