I’m having trouble finding a government source on this, as it would be useful for us to know if we need the UKCA mark or not after all on our export products.
But I’m frankly not surprised, there’s so many regulatory things regarding the UK that’s just in limbo, making it really annoying for us to actually follow the rules. Our company has more than once considered just pulling out of that market.
The good news is that now we have to follow CE requirements on product safety with precisely zero say on the rules because we're out of the EU. Great job Brexiters.
What was Cameron's whimsical quote? "Like a small boy with his face pressed on the sweet shop window"
With it being a concern for my work I did a bit of digging and found the gov.uk press release which doesnt really have any extra detail.
Score! Yeah, it’s a concern for mine too. Thanks for sharing!
