Since 1 January 2021, the UK has continued to recognise CE marked machinery equipment alongside the UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marked machinery, for relevant products placed on the GB market. This approach has enabled businesses to use either product marking when placing goods on the GB market. The UK Government (UKG) is introducing the Supply of Machinery (Safety) (Amendment and Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2026 (‘the GB Regulations 2026)’ to continue recognition of certain EU requirements including the CE marking so that machinery meeting these requirements can be placed on the Great Britain (GB) market, subject to certain conditions. This will reflect the changes to the EU machinery directive. The extension of CE recognition through this legislation will apply to Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales).
