Businesses will be given an additional 2 years to apply new product safety marking, giving thousands of businesses the freedom to focus on growth, Business Secretary Grant Shapps has announced on 14th November.

• Government to continue to recognise the CE product marking in Great Britain for a further 2 years, allowing business to use either UKCA or CE markings
• move will cut costs for businesses and remove potential disruption
• future product marking plans to be reviewed to minimise costs and burdens for business in the longer term
