Article summary

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has published three guidance documents addressing product marking and the recognition of EU requirements for the Great British (GB) market. The first document details the government’s approach to product marking, including the continued recognition of certain EU requirements, such as CE marking, for specific sectors. The second document explains that if the harmonised standard used for a CE-marked product does not have an identical GB designated standard, manufacturers or importers must undertake additional actions or follow different conformity assessment procedures to legally sell their products in GB. The third document outlines various scenarios and clarifies whether each scenario permits a product to be placed on the GB market with the relevant marking.
