Hello Colleagues, RE: Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016
Here is what I was able to find: General guidance site: On this site page: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/using-the-ukca-marking “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. This will mean that certain goods that meet EU requirements can be placed on the GB market. These updates apply to the 18 regulations that fall under the Department for Business and Trade (DBT). Manufacturers will have the choice to use either the CE marking or other recognised EU markings (where permitted), or the UKCA marking to supply products to Great Britain in the following areas: …” === The UK regulation Section 34A – seems to allow for CE Marking: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/1101/regulation/34A And The UK regulation Section 34B – seems to allow for CE Marking for an extended period of time after the expiry of Section 34A: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/1101/regulation/34B/2022-12-31 Thoughts, Dean Dean Jurgensen Delta-Q Technologies Corp. www.delta-q.com<http://www.delta-q.com/> ________________________________ [https://connect.delta-q.com/hubfs/Logos%20(Delta-Q)/25-06-2012_Delta_Q_Corporate_Grey_Mango_Vertical.png] Dean Jurgensen Senior Regulatory Engineer Delta-Q Technologies Corp.

Hello Experts, In Nov 22 we (this listserve) were discussing the UKCA extension aiming to allow CE marking to stand in for UKCA for a longer period. 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?
