This will mean that immediately following exit day the UK and EU standards will be the same. Thereafter, new UK standards will be designated by the Secretary of State.<\/li>\n<li>Where a UK body has undertaken the third-party conformity assessment processes required under the UK \u2018designated standard\u2019, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/marshalls-acquires-edenhall\/50115\/\">manufacturer<\/a> must affix a new UK mark. Further, construction products that meet the harmonised European standard and are affixed with a \u2018CE\u2019 mark, can continue to be placed on the UK market without the need for re-testing or additional marking. This approach is intended to minimise disruption in the availability of goods on the UK market. The intention is that these arrangements will be for a time-limited period, and businesses will be given sufficient notice in advance of this period coming to an end.<\/li>\n<li>Where the product marking is affixed on the basis of self-declaration, then during the time-limited period the manufacturer will have the choice to use either the UK or CE mark (or both).<\/li>\n<li>For products that are not fully covered by a designated standard, there will be an optional route available to enable products to be UK marked.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These measures have been taken to ensure that the Construction Products Regulation regime continues to operate effectively in the UK, once it has left the European Union.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The government has published a statutory instrument to ensure a functioning Construction Products Regulation regime when the UK leaves the EU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[591,676,583],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-50374","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-brexit","8":"tag-construction","9":"tag-construction-products"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Government publishes guidance on construction products ahead of Brexit<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Government has published a statutory instrument to ensure a functioning Construction Products Regulation regime when the UK leaves the EU.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/government-brexit-guidance-construction-products\/50374\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Government publishes guidance on construction products ahead of Brexit\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Government has published a statutory instrument to ensure a functioning Construction Products Regulation regime when the UK leaves the EU.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/government-brexit-guidance-construction-products\/50374\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
