Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when she plans to bring forward legislation to extend the use of (a) CE marking and (b) other forms of recognition that goods meet EU requirements beyond 31 December 2024.

On 1 August, the Government announced our intention to introduce legislation to indefinitely extend recognition of CE marked goods that meet EU requirements. This announcement applies to the 18 product regulations that fall under the Department for Business and Trade’s responsibility.

Our intention is to introduce legislation as soon as parliamentary time allows, so that the changes are in force before the end of 2024.
