This is the final text for the Product Safety and Metrology (Amendment and Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2022 (G/TBT/N/GBR/49), previously entitled the Product Safety (Amendment) Regulations 2022. As stated in the original notification, we expect this measure to come into force before 11pm on 31 December 2022.The range of product regulations in scope is unchanged. However, in addition to the measures contained in the original notification, the UK Government intends to extend the recognition of goods meeting EU requirements and markings on the market in Great Britain for a further 2 years, until 31 December 2024.  This measure intends to address urgent problems of public safety and national security, ensuring the continued supply of safe goods used in critical national infrastructure and key industries.The timings for the previously notified measures will also now reflect this timeline taking into account the extension of recognition of goods meeting EU requirements until 31 December 2024. The previously announced measures will allow action taken under EU conformity assessment procedures before 31 December 2024 to be treated as having been taken under the UK conformity assessment procedures for the lifetime of the certificate issued, or until 31 December 2027, whichever is sooner. Products will be required to bear the UKCA marking after 31 December 2024 and will need to undergo conformity assessment with a UK Approved Body at the expiry of the certificate or after 31 December 2027, whichever is sooner. The measures will also extend current legislation allowing importer information and the UK conformity marking to be added to products using a label or accompanying document, rather than being physically affixed on the product itself, until 31 December 2027. It also extends current legislation allowing details of an EU responsible person, rather than a UK responsible person, on cosmetic products, until 31 December 2027. The UK Government is seeking to support industry as much as possible to prevent immediate costs and burdens for businesses, which could otherwise be passed onto consumers and commercial supply chains, whilst maintaining high standards of product safety. The UK Government will engage with industry both in the United Kingdom and abroad to ensure they are aware of these measures.

Products Covered: Products in scope can range from machinery goods and electronics devices to recreational craft, lifts, pressure equipment, and personal protective equipment among other product types covered by the European conformity marking (CE mark in most cases but also reversed epsilon). Such products are included within, but are not limited to, the following HS codes: 36, 39, 42, 63, 64, 65, 70, 73, 76, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 94, 95, 96. More detail on product coverage can be found in the relevant legislation outlined in annex A of the document accompanying this notification.
