Anwendungsbereich des Regulatory Essentials
Geltende Rechtsvorschriften:
The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 (transposition of the so-called Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU into the national legislation of the United Kingdom)
The Statutory Instrument (SI) will come into force on 01-OCT-2024 and has two main objectives:
- To revoke the expiry date of the recognition of certain European Union (EU) requirements relating to goods, which is due to end on 31-DEC-2024 and to remove the associated transitional provisions which are no longer required. This will allow continued recognition of EU requirements for the product regulations within scope for goods placed on the market in Great Britain (GB); and
- To replace the expiry provision and the associated transitional provisions, with a provision that recognises EU testing or conformity assessment procedures. This will mean that, where manufacturers have undertaken conformity assessment procedures with EU recognised bodies, the United Kingdom Conformity Assessed (UKCA) marking may be used, instead of the relevant EU conformity
marking.
The Product Safety and Metrology etc. (Amendment) Regulations 2024 (SI 2024 No.696) amends the following legislation and recognizes the EU product requirements and the CE marking without time restrictions.
The removal of the expiry of recognition of EU product requirements will apply to the 21 product regulations covered within this SI, which are managed by the Department for Business and Trade [leading department], the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the Department for Work and Pensions (Health and Safety Executive).
This announcement does not apply to regulations for medical devices, construction products, marine equipment, rail products, cableways, transportable pressure equipment, and unmanned aircraft systems regulations. There are specific arrangements in place for these sectors.
Nationale Anwendungsebene:
England, Scotland, Wales, Electrical Devices, Post-BREXIT regulation, UKCA marking
