British manufacturers are set to get another year to comply with Brexit red tape after fears that an impending deadline has thrown them into disarray.
The Independent previously reported that vital parts of British goods, such as cars and refrigerators, could fall into legal limbo if the government takes too long to replace the ubiquitous European “CE” mark.
The new ‘UKCA’ label was due to be a requirement from 1 January 2022, but that deadline will now be pushed back to 1 January 2023 under the new government plans.
The decision, confirmed by the Government’s Business Department on Tuesday, is another sign that the government was not well prepared for the consequences of Brexit.
Industry bodies, factories and conformity providers had previously told The Independent there was not enough capacity, or no capacity at all, to test certain goods before the UKCA’s previous 2022 compliance deadline.
They said it risks falling out between business and the government if it derails British supply chains, it is feared. It could also have hampered companies’ recovery efforts in the wake of the pandemic.
But companies will now have another year to gain approval under the new system.
Ahead of the turn, the British Chambers of Commerce told The Independent they had “serious concerns about the impact of the looming deadline on business”.
A Business Department spokesperson previously said of the new Kite brand: “Companies have a responsibility to ensure their products meet the requirements of regulations. We continue to work with the industry on this issue and to ensure they understand their obligations.”
