IMPORTANT NOTICE | The European Union has made major changes to the CE certification!

On 10 January 2018, the European Commission published important notice warning of the consequences that Brexit will have in the field of industrial products, which are subject to CE Marking requirements when placed on the European Union (EU) market.

For those products, the European Commission confirmed that, to demonstrate compliance with CE Marking requirements for products placed on the EU market as from Brexit day on March 19, 2019, “economic operators are advised to take the necessary steps to ensure that, where the applicable conformity assessment procedures require the intervention of a Notified Body, they will hold certificates issued by an EU-27 Notified Body”.

In practice, this means that, absent any other arrangement, as from Brexit Day, companies that wish to continue placing products on the EU market and that previously relied on conformity assessments carried out by a UK Notified Body, will no longer be able to rely on those.

Due to the decision of the United Kingdom to take off from the EU, Europe and the United States have made major decisions on the announcement agencies in the UK. All relevant foreign trade enterprises are invited to take measures in advance to pass transition period.

Background

Background is taking place in the context of the British Brexit, this will further impact the entire EU, the aftershocks will not be weakened next!
time frame

Announcement Time: January 10, 2018
Implementation time: March 30, 2019
We can see that there is a buffer time, that is to say, the original rules are still feasible during this buffer time. However, the actual situation is that these agencies will certainly quickly adjust their direction or close or re-register their operations in other countries. Certification agencies in good time communication!

Content

All notified bodies in the UK will not be able to CE certification work, all British products, manufacturers and certification bodies will no longer apply the EU's free-float policy.
This we all understand, but the key to grasp is the following three points:

A: CE before the certification is still valid?
B: Transitional CE certified products how to do?
C: The British government will introduce new product requirements?

These three issues require foreign trade friends and customers to quickly contact to understand, for this Xiaobian made the following judgments, but for reference purposes only, specifically to you foreign friends and customers to confirm the subject.

01- CE before the certification is still valid, but the certification is also a time limit, the time of natural failure;

02- Many British announcement agencies will register similar companies in other EU countries. Please pay close attention.

03 - Brexit Britain, and gradually replace the CE certification of their own certification will be introduced soon,

In short, we should not worry that anything will always have a transitional stage. The key is to pay close attention to more exchanges with customers so as to ensure that they are in front of us without any loss.
