On 24^th August 2021, the UK Government announced a 12-month extension to the date ending the recognition of the CE Mark for the GB market.

With this extension in place, goods that are CE marked can now continue to be placed on the GB market until the 1^st January 2023. The exception for medical devices remains in place, with CE marked products being accepted until the 1^st July 2023.

From the 1^st January 2023, the UKCA mark will become mandatory. It’s also important to note that the CE Mark will only continue to be valid for the GB market whilst UK and EU rules remain the same.

The UK Government has stated that it remains committed to the UKCA Mark and that business should transition to the UKCA mark as soon as possible, ensuring they have enough time to complete the process before the new 2023 deadline.
