Lauren "The Government intends to introduce...." Is as much as we have so far. It's a press release / announcement from one Government department that does not have responsibilities for all UK regulations (for example, it doesn't enforce RoHS which is applicable to lots of products covered by other regulations they are responsible for)
It is also worth noting that there will be a general election in the UK in 2024, so quite how focused the government will be on bringing out this extension I leave as an exercise for the reader.....

We were tracking a related statutory instrument, which I believe has been released as SI 2022 No. 1393 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2022/1393/contents/made). This SI 1393, however, does not appear to extend the deadline indefinitely. According to a accompanying explanatory memorandum (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2022/1393/memorandum/contents) ... "the instrument makes only the necessary changes to extend the time period for recognition of products meeting EU requirements and markings until 31 December 2024, to extend existing labelling easements until 31 December 2027, and extending the time period to allow any steps taken under EU conformity procedures before 31 December 2024 to be considered valid to demonstrate compliance with UKCA, for the duration of the certificates issued or until 31 December 2027, whichever is the sooner." Nonetheless, a couple official uk.gov webpages (e.g., https://www.gov.uk/guidance/using-the-ukca-marking) say "The government intends to introduce legislation to extend recognition of goods that meet EU requirements, including the CE marking, indefinitely, beyond 31 December 2024 for many products." I cannot identify any SI in the works that will provide the alleged indefinite extension. Does anyone on the list have more certain information about the indefinite extension they could share?
