Continued recognition for CE marking

Legislation was passed in May 2024 to continue CE recognition for 21 product regulations (e.g. toys, PPE, electrical/electronic equipment, machinery, measuring instruments). CE marking will be accepted past 30 June 2025 in Great Britain although UKCA marking will remain valid.

The Product Regulation and Metrology Bill was introduced on 4 September in the House of Lords. This is enabling legislation which will allow for regulation to keep regulation updated, respond to new product risks and opportunities (enabling the UK to keep pace with technological advances), identify new and emerging business models in the supply chain (e.g. online marketplaces) and enable improvements to compliance and enforcement.
