Is CE marking still accepted in Great Britain?

Yes, CE marking is still widely accepted in Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales). The UK government recognizes CE marking indefinitely for most standard manufactured goods, allowing businesses the flexibility to use either the CE or the UKCA mark.

However, specific regulated sectors have different transitional timelines:

  • Medical Devices: CE-marked general medical devices are accepted until June 30, 2028, and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices are accepted until June 30, 2030 (or until the certificate expires, whichever is sooner).
  • Construction Products, Marine Equipment, & Rail Products: These sectors have specific, separate transition rules and independent timelines.
