The government have announced a delay of one year in the introduction of the new UKCA mark.
The new mark will replace the use of the CE mark in Great Britain. Products sold in Great Britain that are subject to the legislation will need to carry the mark from 1st January 2023 instead of 1/1/22.
This is likely to be welcome news to a lot of our clients.

You can continue to use the CE marking for goods placed on the market in Great Britain until 1 January 2023. The UKCA marking must be used for placing goods on the market in Great Britain from 1 January 2023. The UKCA marking can be used now and we encourage businesses to start using the UKCA marking as soon as possible.
