UK extends the acceptance of CE marked goods
Due to the impact of the pandemic on businesses, CE marked goods that meet EU requirements (where these match UK requirements) can continue to be placed on the GB market until the end of 2022.
The UKCA mark must be used for placing goods on the GB market from 1 January 2023.
