European CE mark extension gives UK manufacturers the chance to remain competitive

By Peter Caplehorn2024-09-12T10:04:00

The recent extension to the UK’s acceptance of the European CE mark offers an overdue opportunity to drive the construction products industry towards increased safety, performance and trade, says Peter Caplehorn of the Construction Products Association

In one of the very first ministerial statements to be made by the new government on parliament’s return from the summer recess, confirmation came that the European CE mark will continue to be available for construction products and accepted in the UK beyond 30 June 2025.

This is very good news, as it marks an end to years of industry uncertainty following the introduction of the replacement UKCA mark.
