24 April 2019
up to 31st October 2019 or to such time as the Withdrawal Agreement is ratified by the UK Parliament.
The main points are:
- The CPR and how construction products are regulated remains in force
- UK Notified bodies & certificates of conformity issued by them continue to be recognised by the EU
- Application of CE marking will continue
- The UK Conformity Assessment mark cannot be use for the time being
- If the UK leaves the EU before 31 October 2019 then we immediately enter the Implementation Period which ends on 31 December 2020
- During the Implementation Period, market access will be on current terms i.e. continued us of CE marking and UK Notified Bodies
- If the UIK leaves the EU without a deal then the information previously circulated on a no deal guidance comes into effect
